The 6 Nations 60k Challenge reached its half way point yesterday (22nd February 2026) with the successful completion of the Nenagh 10K in the rural setting of County Tipperary, Ireland. Here’s an update from Anthony on how it went:
“Race 3 of the 6 Nations 60k challenge was a fairly flat road run in the beautiful countryside of Nengah in Ireland, brilliantly organised by Just Race Events. As always in Ireland we were made to feel very welcome, there was a great locals/family feel to the event and it stayed dry! There were around 500 runners for the 10K and we were joined by my son Guy who’s currently based in Dublin and his partner Flo who flew over from Barcelona:
Much better times this week, I did it in 49:28 which gave me a 6th place finish in my age category which I’m very happy with. Rachael did it in 58:50 which gave her a 7th place finish in her age category and was the first time she’s run a 10k in under an hour – great achievement! Donations are continuing to come in so we’re well on the way towards £4000, please donate if you can and hopefully we’ll hit that target by the next race which is the English leg of the challenge in Weymouth next Sunday (1st March).”
