The wait is over! We are delighted to be announcing the winners of our photo competition: ‘Capture the Spring in your step‘

The competition was introduced in May 2021 when restrictions were lifted for the first time in 5 months and training in small groups returned. Our aim was to capture the spirit of the club and to show the joy to be back running and training in groups.

So, Blackrock A.C. members took to the streets to capture ‘The Spring in their step’. Many great photos were submitted and after some serious considerations, the panel decided on the winners for each section.

The top three photos of the below categories will receive some of our fantastic Blackrock A.C. merchandise:

1. Fit4Life, Men and Women
2. Junior (U20)
3. Juvenile (U15)

All winners will be notified very shortly to arrange the celebratory prize giving ceremony.

It was a difficult choice. Below are the three winning photos of the Fit4Life, Women and Men’s category. We love to see the enjoyment our Fit4Life members get from our weekly runs and the excitement to be able to return to group training.

The winners of our Junior section

John Walsh submitted some great training shots that really capture the spirit of the club. The ethos of the Junior as well as Juvenile section of the club is for the athletes to train in a fun and social environment while still allowing them to reach their competitive potential and compete for the club should they wish to do so.

The winners of our Juvenile section

We received some fantastic shots from our Juvenile section capturing our youngest members at training not only on the track, but also on the trails of the Wicklow Mountains.

Congratulations to all winners and also a huge thank you to all other Blackrock A.C. members for submitting their photos!!
