Well done to Rathfarnham WSAF AC's Sean Hehir who won the 2018 Simon 5 mile road race in the Phoenix Park on Saturday 6th October in a time of 25:37. Denis Daly came 12th in 30:05 and Sinead Murray was 5th lady home in 33:00. 
This year’s Rathfarnham 5k on 30th of September was another huge success for the club. Times were again very fast in one of the country’s premier 5k road races. Well done to the well-oiled organising machine on running a flawless event. The men’s team of Sean Hehir, Mitchel Byrne and Louis McCarthy came first overall and the women’s fourth.

Congratulations to Brian Furey who has continued his great form with a 7th win of the year and set a new record for this 20mile race from Eyre Square to the square in Tuam. Lots of local rivalry for this the biggest looking cup this year!
It was an incredible day at the Berlin marathon with Eluid Kipchoge taking a massive 1min18secs off the world record. But hot on Kipchoge’s heels was Rathfarnham WSAF AC’s Bobby Murphy who took a full 5mins off his PB to finish 53rd overall and 7th M35. Congratulations on a fantastic performance Bobby, but we suspect that there is more to come! The only other Rathfarnham WSAF AC athlete was Micheál Murphy who is targeting DCM but still ran a speedy 3:17 long tempo in Berlin!
