The Waterford Half-Marathon on Saturday last saw the course records in both the men's and ladies' races smashed. Martin Fagan ran a time of 1:04:16 to comfortably win the men's race and Lizzie Lee (Leevale AC) clocked 1:14:30 in the ladies' event. Carrick AC members achieved some impressive times also. Brian Murphy finished in eighth place in a field of over 1,500 runners with a time of 1:11:31. Our next finisher was Derek Walsh in 1:20:01 with Aaron O' Donnell close behind in 1:21:23. Pat O' Sullivan (1:25:55), Michael O' Sullivan (1:27:51), Tom Egan (1:34:44), Brian Graham (1:40:05) and Emer O' Brien (1:58:07) all put in very good performances for Carrick AC. Well done to all our runners.
