THE Irish Field has entered a team in Sunday’s Jog for Jockeys at Naas in the new category, the 5km equine team event, which requires that runners must work in an equine-related job. The joggers representing this paper are Leo Powell, Mark Costello, Ronan Groome, Judith Faherty and Leanne O’Sullivan. Although running as a team, their finishing times are likely to be very different, if indeed they finish at all! Leanne reports:“If riding out horses and playing a bit of golf counts then we’ve been doing plenty of training! Mark has taken part in the event a few times and Leo has been spotted visiting the gym,

Ronan is pretty athletic and I hear that when he’s not playing golf he runs 18km for fun.

Judith and I are new to this game, so we’ll just have to see how we get on!”

The 10k option starts at 11am on Sunday, and the 5km gets underway at 11.30am. Good luck to all taking part tomorrow!
