KAC women (all ages), best team (Georgina McWilliams, Emma Sheahan, Clare Browne) – 20th; men (all ages), best team (Brian Gurrin, Brian O’Regan, David Sparks) – 12th

A very proud day for our Club, and we were delighted to see big KAC numbers in the races 🪿💪💫✨💚💛🤍🖤
At the start of the year, we called on Club members to consider jumping into the big national and provincial races, and we’re delighted with the response, so thank you to all who signed up, and donned the colours in Cork 🙏
There was also some pacing from club members which is great to see and is a great alternative to racing so something to keep in mind for future races, whether you want to pace or be paced, there are always members happy to help out 💪💚🤍💛🖤
Bring on Tullamore, and the Leinster half marathon Championship, when we get to do it all again 💪
Lastly not only do KAC members show up and perform in races they also know how to celebrate 🥂 🥳
KAC abú 💪💚💛🤍🖤

Such amazing young men 💞

💙 Come on Wicklow — let’s get behind the FTD Brothers, Jordan & Cian Adams 💙

These incredibly brave young men are taking on an extraordinary challenge to raise awareness and vital funds for dementia research.

🏃‍♂️ 32 Marathons 📍 32 Counties 📅 32 Days 🗓 April 27th – May 28th, 2026

On Saturday 23rd May, let’s give Jordan & Cian the Wicklow welcome they deserve and show our support for their mission.

📍 Meet at Black Castle at 10am to see them off
📍 Join us again on South Quay from 2pm to welcome them home after completing their 26-mile run

We’d love to see sports clubs, local groups, families, friends, and runners come together to support the lads — even joining them for parts of the route along the way.

Check out the route at:

Jordan, Cian, and their sister Kennedy lost their beloved mother Geraldine, who was from Ireland to Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) in 2016 at just 52 years of age.

Tragically, Jordan & Cian have inherited the same condition. Despite knowing they are likely to become symptomatic in their early 40s, they describe their diagnosis as a “Licence to Live” and are determined to make every day count.

Please support, share, donate, and spread the word ❤️

All funds go directly to FTD Brothers Foundation and Alzheimers Society of Ireland.
