On Saturday July 25th 2026 runners from everywhere had a choice
A .Take on a Park run @ 9.30am
B. Run a mid-day marathon
C. Run a nightime Marathon
This was no dilemma for one of our Carrick Aces most out standing female athletes ; Charlotte Mc Eneaney
because she chose the 4th option ;
D. Do all three on Saturday and be home in time to run a 10miler the next day .

Charlotte impressively ran the 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏 July 25th at 9.30am with her racing buddy and athletic son Oran, to then arrive @ 𝑽𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕 for a same day 12noon Marathon, plus lining up that same night in the same venue completing a second Marathon!
Ground Breaking Athletics ? Yes ! Traditional ? No !
And further more it's Mould Breaking to be at the start line at 10am the following day Sunday 26th and run her local Blayney Rocket's scenic "Around the lake 10miler" !
Charlotte you are an Ace's club legend, an inspiration, and proof that passion and dedication can take you to incredible places - not just geographically but to stronger, more fearless, resilient places within one's self.
You have proven this to us again and again and following that high bar performance, we are further more inspired by your successive weekend achievements in running 2 more Marathons @ 𝑳𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉
(Marathon 1 - Aug 1st Lilliput - your 150th Milestone Marathon!
Marathon 2 (your 151th 💪) August 2nd!
This is the stuff not just of dreams but scream of champion.
It makes us fellow athletes give standing ovations, resounding rounds of applause, throw hats in the air, strart Mexican waves, and sing olé olé olé !
With admiration and inspiration this writer drops the mic and ties their laces!
Such 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 !! - Well well done and thank you Charlotte 👏🌟🏆

Well done to Carrick Aces Carragh Brennan & Tadhg Hanratty Farrell who proudly represented our club in a special on-track tribute to Ciara Mageean during the National Senior Track & Field Championships at Morton Stadium today.
The athletics community came together to celebrate one of Ireland’s greatest-ever athletes and her outstanding contribution to the sport. Carragh & Tadhg are two fantastic ambassadors of our club and we were delighted to see them running with Ciara, European champion and inspirational role model for all young athletes!🙌❤️
