On Sunday 26th July a new race on the calendar the Bettystown 5mile was held. First home was David Rooney, Raheny Shamrocks, in an excellent time of 25.19. Laura McDonnell, Tallaght AC, was first woman home in 30.37. Cathy Mitchell ran 39.52, Bobby Mitchell, 32.20, 3rd O/55, Jason O'Connor ran an excellent 35.58 and Richard Kavanagh ran 34.18 to finish 2nd O/60. This was a very well organised event, good course, huge amount of prizes (1 to 10 ind, 1st and 2nd in all Cat plus 1st and 2nd teams) and great food. A race well worth supporting and hopefully next year the weather will be a little bit more kind than this year. 

Invitation to All.

Robert Mead, Dan Sauceda and Charles Gaytan have a simple mission: to bring positive awareness to public service professions.

Over the past year, the three young men have figured out a unique way to show their appreciation, getting others to join them on a regular basis.

The men have been running around the Sparks Marina, one to two laps a day, for the better part of a year. They aren't looking for donations or personal fame. They just want to honour firefighters', police, medics and military by spreading the word about their support and by making the effort every day to run with American flags.

On Sunday 26th July, Mead, along with a handful of Americans, will travel to Ireland to meet with Mary Murray to present her with the flag he has been running with to honour Brian Murray and Mark O'Shaughnessy who both tragically died while fighting a fire in 2007. Afterwards, Irish soldiers, firefighters, medics and police will join the American visitors, mixing Irish and American flags, on a run/jog/walk for six miles between the two coastal towns of Bray and Greystones. The run will be along the Greystones/Bray Cliff and will start at 10.30am from the Greystones end. 

Bray Runners have been invited to take part in this very special event and we would ask as many members and friends, as possible, to take part.
