A great day was had by all in the sunny demesne of Castlesaunderson for the inaugural Castle 5k on May 26th, 2013. This was a joint venture organised by 2nd Cavan Scouts and Annalee Athletics Club. It was supported by Cavan’s greatest ever athlete, Catherina McKiernan who easily won the ladies race, presented the prizes and also had time for a chat and photo with all who attended.
Over 700 runners and walkers took part in the 5k run with hundreds more in attendance for the family fun day. The winner, Conan McCaughey hailed from Enniskillen Running Club and he ran the challenging 5k course in a speedy 16:25s, followed by Bailieboro AC's Martin Fulton in 16.57s and Cian O'Reilly of Annalee in 3rd place with a time of 17:21s.

Thanks to all the other pacers, Lorraine, Deirdre and Aiden along with the stewards, all those who managed registration, and who ran the underage races. Well done to Cavan Scouts for setting up a great family activity and race day. Lots of photos on the Annalee AC Flickr gallery with prizegiving photos with Catherina McKiernan now added.
