Trail League Final

Today was the final round of the Ballymahon Trail League. The weather wasn't as good as the previous two Sunday's but still it was dry and mild, good running weather! For more pictures check this slideshow and the cumulative results can be downloaded here.

Trail League part 2/3

Just a few images to capture the atmosphere for this 2nd part of the Trail League. As you can see the weather was fabulous again! Around the first corner into the race a great stag was seen, not sure if he wanted to join the race as well and unfortunately we didn't get a picture of him!
The results of the 2nd run can be downloaded here (pdf)
