Congratulations to all those who did the Marathon on Monday, but especially well done to the 20 Sportsworld volunteers who had the tougher job of being marshals on Fortfield Road and Templeogue Road for the marathon. It was an early start on a Bank holiday for the volunteers with a job that involved standing for four freezing hours on a very cold day cheering on the Sportsworld runners and their competitors. The volunteers had to look out for the safety of runners with Sean Wall, Mary Finn and Trevor Lloyd having to deal with two injured runners, ambulances had to be called in both cases but the Sportsworld volunteers responded calmly and quickly. A very difficult job was done at Our Ladys school where buses had to be merged with the runners safely which Lucy Darcy, Stephen Willoughby, Gary Cregan and Sean O Byrne did brilliantly. All the volunteers had to deal with motorists, angry motorists, bad driving motorist (Orlagh Fleming) as well keeping spectators where they should be and at all times for the 4 hours ensuring the runners got a big boost as they headed in to the last 10miles. All the major Dublin running clubs supplied volunteers for the marathon but thanks to the below members Sportsworld was one of the biggest volunteer groups.
Orlagh Fleming, Rachel Morgan, Carol Lynch, Paddy Lynch, Sean O Byrne, Lucy Darcy, Stephen Willoughby, Gary Cregan, Elen, Michael Cunningham, Sean Wall, Mary Finn, Paul Duffy, Aoife Brady, Crona Brady, Judith Llyod, Trevor Lloyd, Paul O’Connell, Phil Kilgannon and Will Greensmyth. And a special Thanks to Michael Cunningham who organised the Sportsworld Marshals
