One Step Beyond

Let the Madness commence

Today is Day One of a unique event been ran by B.M.O.H to raise funds for the Juvenile section of the club and School Building project for Kilmurry National School. It is also D-Day for the 23 elite runners as described in the Clare Champion or lunatic's, mad-men (and ladies) or whatever else you want to call them. They start their journeys into the unknown of running 10 marathons in Ten Days on the roads of Sixmilebridge.There will of course have other runners completing one or two Marathons over the course of the Ten Days as well, most notably Keith Whyte fresh from his 100K record setting run and Ruthann Sheehan current 24 Hour womens road record holder.
By Monday the people of the Bridge might be forgiven in thinking that the men in White coats need to be contacted, yes it the fancy dress marathon and I am really looking forward to some of the outfits that will be on display. 
Fortunately or unfortunately I have yet to get this level of madness or enlightenment depending on whatever way you look at it but I hope to be there most days to assist in whatever way I can in making sure that on Saturday 13th we see 23 runners complete this unique challenge.
So best wishes to all running this over the next 10 days, and as for the weather well its Sixmilebridge and we may even get snow in July.
