Raheny Shamrock Athletic Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear member Maurice Timmons on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Club treasurer Pat Hooper, paid the below tribute.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaurice was a popular and valued member of the club. A latecomer to the sport he won many age group awards.<\/p>\n

Maurice will be remembered mostly as a prodigious marathon runner. In all he ran nearly 200 marathons. Maurice was the second club member after Eddie Harrison to reach the magical 100.<\/p>\n

In 2004 he celebrated his 100th<\/sup> Marathon by organising a Special event in the City Centre which entailed running around St Stephens Green 26 times.<\/p>\n

Maurice was always setting new goals. He ran a Marathon on all five continents. His latest project was to run a Marathon in all 28 EU countries.<\/p>\n

At the time of his death he had only three remaining. In running his Marathons he also raised a lot of money for charity. Maurice was not just an athletic consumer.<\/p>\n

Maurice gave an awful\u00a0lot back to the sport. He was always available to steward and help at events.<\/p>\n

A former President of the Business Houses Athletic Association he was one of the driving forces behind that organisation.<\/p>\n

Maurice will be badly missed by all who knew him. The club would like to offer its condolences and thanks to his three sisters. May he rest in Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further details will be posted when available.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"tumblr\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
