On Wednesday and Friday evening we had The Dublin Juvenille Relay championship, a great night to showcase our track.

There were  twenty running clubs from around Dublin represented on the night, with some fantastic team performances, by all clubs There was also a great support for all teams. It was also the single largest event held on our track since it reopened in 2019. Well done to Eoin and Niamh Fitzgerald who in conjunction with Dublin Athletics were the driving force behind the event
