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.
