Dunboyne AC

06/09/2026

✨On Thursday August 27th Dunboyne AC held our annual track night. In amongst the 5k and mile races, Michael Cornyn took on the challenge of improving his previous M65 mile record of 6:21.

With Eimear English and David O'Connell as pacers, Michael battled through the driving rain to finish the 4 laps in 6 minutes 15 seconds. A fine run from Michael in tough conditions with great support around the track too.

Congrats to the ten club members who made the trip to a wet Tullamore on Saturday, for the annual Tullamore Harriers Half Marathon.

With almost 1,200 finishers, the race is one of the biggest on the calendar, as preparations continue for the Autumn Marathons in Dublin and further afield.

The race also counted at this year's Leinster Championships, with Edel Somers (1:35:15) winning silver in the F50 category. Edel's Net Time was quicker than the winner, but Gross Time counts in the competition.

Edel, Laura Whittaker (1:35:33) and Ciara McCrossan (1:36:24) also won silver in the Leinster F35 Team Competition, with the trio helping Meath win bronze in the county competition.

Congrats to the team on some brilliant runs and numerous PBs!
