Blackrock Fit4Life Group takes part in Parkrun

The Blackrock A.C Fit4Life group, established in July 2013, took part in their inaugural group run in Marlay Park on August 31, 2013. Ten of the group turned up on a nice autumnal Saturday morning to take part in weekly 5km Parkrun along with 400 others. For the majority of the group, it was their first ever 5km. First home from the group was Patricia Forde followed by Pat Nolan, Lynne Walsh, Catherine McCabe, Eithne Linnane, Stephanie McDonnell, Yvonne O’Friel, Carmel Flaherty, Kathleen Wolfe and Marguerite Slyne. Well done all!

Also, taking part in the Parkrun were coaches Gerry Flaherty, Michael O’Brien and Michelle O’Brien, Marie-Therese McCoy from the ladies section and Sarah and Steven Flaherty from the Juvenile section.

 Training continues on Tuesday and Thursdays at 7pm over the Autumn and Winter and more details can be obtained by email from bacfit4life@gmail.com.
