Report by Aaron Lynsey RAC
A fantastic day at the Dunboyne 10K today.
The race began with a chilly start and a light, hazy drizzle over the opening kilometre, before clearing into ideal running conditions for the remainder of the course. It set the tone for what turned out to be an excellent event from start to finish.
There was an incredible turnout from Ratoath Athletics Club, with athletes representing the club in great numbers and delivering outstanding performances across all levels. It was especially rewarding to see so many personal bests achieved on the day which is a testament to the hard work and dedication put in over the past number of weeks in training.
The race concluded with a brilliant finish on the track at Dunboyne AC, providing a fitting end to a well organised and enjoyable event. The post-race refreshments of tea, coffee, and sandwiches were very much appreciated and added to the welcoming atmosphere.
Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable and successful day of racing, and a great experience shared with teammates and fellow competitors alike
