Willie Born To Run

Posted on by

Celebrating the achievements of local running legend Willie Keane. Comprising of five episodes, Willie Born to Run, offers an insight into Willie’s early life right through to the present day. Willie, from Kilkee, Co. Clare, and a prominent member of the local St John’s AC, was a winner of 56 All-Ireland NACA Irish Senior Titles and 16 Clare Championships, along with numerous Munster Senior gold medals. During his prime, his dominance, while competing in the National Championships, saw him beaten only once over a ten year period between 1969 and 1980. Willie, who competed for Ireland over a period in excess of ten years, was Clare Sport Star of the Year on three occasions and was presented with the Clare Person of the Year award for 2016. His incredible achievements are also recognised and on display at the GAA Museum in Croke Park. A cross country, track & field and road running legend of his generation, he was destined never to represent Ireland at the Olympic Games. This is the story of Willie – Born to Run
Along with Willie, contributors will include, Colm Rennicks, Tommy McCarthy and Laurence Larkin, legends in their own right, who between them have an impressive collection of All Ireland medals and international caps. Former International Secretary for the NACA, Pat Duffy, also made the trip from County Louth to the home of Willie, kindly accompanied by his daughter-in-law Maria, to chat with presenter and producer, James Flanagan, to complete the lineup in what promises to be a warmly fascinating and educational experience for the listener.
The series was researched, presented and produced by RCB Programming Director, James Flanagan, with Laurence Larkin deserving special mention for his assistance in contacting contributors and providing guidance on factual accuracy throughout the production. The project was funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.
Mairead O’ Higgins Finnegan ( Station Manager) on behalf of RCB, wishes to express appreciation to all the contributors, who gave of their time to enrichen the documentary, and everyone else, both within the community and RCB, who helped in any way to ensure its successful completion.
