*Weekend Round-Up – DLS On The Move! 💙🏃‍♂️*

A big congratulations to all our DLS Run Club members who were competing in races over the weekend!

The excellent consistency shown right through the summer is really paying dividends now, with plenty of personal milestones achieved in Galway, Manchester, Ballybofey and beyond.

Fantastic running from everyone – whether it was a PB, a first time over the distance, or just getting out there and flying the DLS colours.

Great timing too, as we enter the final few weeks of preparation for many of our members taking part in Ireland’s biggest running event at the end of the month!

Keep up the great work 👏

What a massively busy weekend of racing for DLS, with our members in action in Grange, Manchester and Ballybofey! 👏

First up, we’re shining the spotlight on our fantastic DLS members and their kids who represented the club at the Grange Races on Saturday, taking on everything from the 2K kids’ race to the 10K.

A huge well done to everyone who took part — the young and the not-so-young! 💙

It was brilliant to see so many DLS vests out on the course and so many families getting involved. A fantastic local event, a great challenge for all ages, and plenty of brilliant running along the way.

Great running, great spirit and fantastic representation for the club. You all did DLS proud! 💙👏

Stay tuned for more from a very busy weekend for Team DLS! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

What a fantastic start to our juvenile athletics classes in Magh Éne school hall Bundoran over the past few weeks!

Another 6-week block of classes will start on Wednesday evenings 6-7pm 21st October.

🌧️🏃 Donegal Half Marathon – DLS in Letterkenny! 🏃‍♀️🌧️

A huge well done to our DLS members who took on the Donegal Half Marathon in Letterkenny last weekend! 💙

To say the conditions were challenging would be an understatement — the rain certainly didn’t let up! ☔🌧️

But a seriously wet day wasn’t enough to dampen the spirits of the DLS crew.
Despite battling the elements over 13.1 miles, there were some fantastic performances and brilliant personal bests along the way. 👏🔥

Congratulations to everyone who took part and represented DLS so well. Plenty of soaked runners, plenty of smiles, and a few shiny new PBs to make it all worthwhile! 🏅💙

Well done, everyone!

What a brilliant month of running for DLS!

June saw our members out in full force, taking on everything from local trails to international roads.

Huge congratulations to everyone who tackled the Enniskillen 10k,
Gaelforce Adventure Race,
Coney Island run,
and the Roscommon Harriers 10k.

A special mention also goes to our member who smashed the Chicago Half Marathon!

The rising temperatures made for some seriously tough conditions, but our runners dug deep and excelled as always. Brilliant work, everyone! 🙌
