The annual West Cork Road Races took place in brilliant sunshine in Dunmanway on March 20th. The event attracted juvenile and senior athletes from clubs across West Cork. For the first time this year the numbers of those competing at Senior level had their numbers swelled by Fit 4 Life runners from both Bantry and Bandon athletic clubs. The Fit 4 Life groups in these towns are now attracting large numbers of runners at varying levels at their training sessions. At this stage Bantry and Bandon are turning into the fittest towns in West Cork!

The West Cork Track and Field Championships take place on Sunday 10th and 17th April at the Track in CIT with a 12 noon start. The first day kicks off with competitions for juvenile ages with those for even ages the following week. There are a number of open events on both days for Junior, Senior and Masters Athletes. The full programme of events can be seen on the Bandon AC Website www.bandonac.org.
