Open Meeting for Adult Athletics in Galway
Date: Wednesday, March 7th, 8:30pm
Location: The Quality Hotel in Oranmore.
Galway's adult athletes convened a productive get-together last year which resulted in, amongst other things, the highly successful May 5k Series.
It is felt around the county that it would be worthwhile to stage a repeat of this meeting which will give adults involved in athletics in Galway the opportunity to discuss the development of our sport in County Galway.

Seamus O'Donnell interview - 3 Times National Marathon Champion
In this article Seamus O'Donnell provides some insight into his distinguished career as an endurance athlete.
What got you interested in running?
I started running in 1971 at the age of eleven with St. Johnston AC. The local club had just been founded and everybody else was joining.
What kind of running did you do as a Juvenile?
I ran both track and cross-country events. Sports days were big in Donegal at that time and during the summer there would usually be a sports somewhere in the county every Sunday. I was mostly mid-pack in competition but I got a few podium finishes later on including a silver in the Ulster U-17 3000m. I also qualified to represent Ulster in the O'Duffy cup in 1978.
