What a great year we had with the TTRacers group with many highlights to report.  The main highlight of 2022 must have been the trip to Amsterdam when we had over 40 people making the trip with an even split between those doing the Marathon and the Half Marathon. Definitely a 2023 trip needs to […]

How did you get into athletics ? The year was 1970 J.  I ran my first competitive race in a schools road relay team in Falcarragh, County Donegal.  We won by a country mile.  We were approached by Patsy McGonagle, later to be 4 time Irish Olympics Track and Field manager, to run the following day […]
