Our members were busy over the weekend at a range of events, from local, to further afield. Michael Cronin was in Germany for the Berlin 5k on Saturday. On Saturday too, MTR Paul Bond, and wife Eileen, took part in the Eco trail, taking them up the Wicklow mountains. On Sunday Joan and Gerry Farrelly took part in the Stone town 5k in Louth.

Closer to home many of our members took part in the annual Monaghan Phoenix Marathon Festival over the weekend. Some ran in the 10k on Saturday, while others took on the 13.1 mile or 26.2 mile distance on Sunday. Well done to Geraldine McCarville, Damien Eannetta who ran the Saturday 10k , to Grainne Kennedy, Jennifer Meehan, Patricia Lee, Grainne Kennedy, Fergal McEntee, Kevin Smyth, Barry Bowens, Breda McFadden, Ciaran Woods, Brendan Carbin, Jonny Groarke who ran in the half marathon, and to Stephen Lambe, Mehmet Orbay and AnnaMarie McCleary, who competed in the full marathon.

Picking up prizes on Sunday were Stephen Lambe who came 2nd in the full marathon, and Breda McFadden who was 2nd lady in the half marathon.

Finally, Donal McArdle and Danny Murphy were in Berlin for the Berlin marathon on Sunday. Both men put in strong performances over the distance!!

MONAGHAN TOWN RUNNERS DONATE €10,000 TO LOCAL CHARITIES!!!!

Over the past week, MTRs were out and about delivering cheques to worthy local charities! For several years now, MTRs have been giving away the proceeds of their hugely popular Monaghan 10 Miler, and this year, after a hugely successful race, we were able to donate even more than normal!!

Each of our chosen charities received a cheque for €1200. The local charities who benefited this year are:

LA519

Monaghan Senior Citizens

Marys Meals

Monaghan Cardiac First Responders

Monaghan RIAD

Friends of Rossmore Park

Ballinode Community Projects

Peter McKenna's Diamond to Diamond challenge which was in aid of Monaghan Special Olympics + Tydavnet Faith & Light.

In 2026 MTRs have donated over €17,000 to local charities, with our Crocus 5k back in March, raising over €7,500.

We would like to thank the local businesses who support our Monaghan 10 Miler every year by sponsoring race teeshirts and mile markers. This generous support allows us in turn to give generously.

Finally, we are proud of all our Monaghan Town Runners, who gave freely of their time in order to support and work hard at our 2 big running events this year.

Until next year!!

Keep er fit!!!!
