Last weekend saw the Sliabh Liag adventure runs and with some testing weather conditions for the 25k and 50k distances.
Rosses AC interest was in the 25k event, a 2 loop race with over 1000m of elevation. This event turned into a 3 way battle between Rosses duo Kenn Bates , Paul McKelvey and Colin Dean. Kenn took the initiative in the last of the downhill sections to open up a lead which he held to take a great win with Paul McKelvey making it a Rosses 1,2 just 30 seconds behind with Dean 3rd. Great job lads congrats.

At the 2025 Primary Schools Athletics Challenge a number of our juvenile athletes made the journey last Wednesday to Finn Valley for a really competitive day’s athletics that showcased some of the stars of the future. Well done to all and the parents / coaches who traveled. With the summer road races in full swing there are many races to choose from and it is great to see our athletes taking advantage of these. For the juveniles the Childrens Games (u9 to u13) takes place this weekend in Finn Valley with a large continent from the club due to travel and good luck to all.
