On Thursday 15th Nov, we had a very well received talk on nutrition in the Ballywaltrim clubhouse. The talk was delivered by John Baldwin, nutrition expert, and promient member of Kilcoole A.C. The talk was attended by a group of 20 members, all of whom agreed that it was a very well presented and informative evening. Our thanks to John for his time and his excellent presentation.
Sean and Carmel led another group of 10 athletes on a 45 minute session on the roads around Ballywaltrim.
A couple of results to hand, Susan Dowd ran 67.47 in the Run for Newcourt, 8 mile, on saturday 10th Nov, and 50.28 in the Run in the Dark 10k on Wed, 14th nov. Also in the Run in the Dark 10k, Rachel Gilliland ran 41.41, which we believe is a new pb.
Over the next couple of thursday nights we will be doing some speed work as the Wicklow C/C Senior and then Masters approach.

In April 2012 Dermot Brennan / Carmel Murphy made an application to the Dublin Bus Community Spirit Awards. Dermot and Carmel thought that the work that they have being doing with the Juvenile section for the past 15 years possibly warranted recognition, and set about applying to Dublin Bus Community Spirit Awards. They were successful with their application and were invited to a reception in the Mansion House on September 26th, where over 80 community and voluntary groups across the Greater Dublin Area were awarded grants at the Dublin Bus Community Spirit Awards ceremony
On behalf of Bray Runners AC Dermot and Carmel were presented with a Bronze certificate and a cheque for €1000.00.
Attending the ceremony among others were Niall Quinn, Michael Carruth, Pete Taylor, Johnny Murtagh.
