Waterford Viking Marathon

Brendan and Darren took part in the Waterford Viking Marathon yesterday, it was the first running of a marathon in Waterford, nearly 1000 people took part in the full marathon and another 1000 between the half and relay. It is a tough enough marathon with the roads elevating up and down all along the course. There was two tough hills during, 1st one was a steep 400m and the 2nd was 1.25 mile long just before the halfway point, weather was up and down with a small bit of rain and heat varying through the race. Great running by Brendan who ran 3.28 as part of his training program for the Dingle 50 mile Ultra Marathon in 8 weeks and Darren ran 3.59 after cramping up badly and suffering for the rest of the marathon. Well done lads.
