Wicklow Way Ultra
What a way for Niamh Drea to begin her Gorey AC racing career!
On Friday, 28 August, Niamh completed the 133km Wicklow Way Ultra in 20 hours and 34 minutes, finishing as the fourth woman home.
That is a remarkable first race in the Gorey AC colours. Huge congratulations to Niamh on an amazing performance!
Two races in two days for Yessyka!
A special mention must go to Yessyka Bergin, who completed the Waterford Greenway Half Marathon on Saturday before lining up again for the Oylegate 10K on Sunday.
That is 31.1km of racing across two days. An unreal effort, Yessyka!
