With over 140 Athletes entered for European Master’s Indoor Champs in Torun, AAI Masters Champs will afford many of those travelling a final opportunity to tune up in advance of competing at the end of March.

The IMAA would also like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family & many friends of Eamon Harvey of Tir Chonaill AC who passed away over the weekend. Eamon was a very valued member of the Athletic Community, and his passing has left a huge void. He will be sadly missed. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.
