    Just looking at the K Club 10k on 12th April, I am hoping to enter - is that open to all or do you have to be a member of the BHAA? If you do need to be a member is it open to anyone to join? Thanks.

    Don't forget two super flat cross country races in the picturesque and historical Old Campus of NUI Maynooth this Saturday. 2 miles for the women at 11:00 & 4 for the men at 11.30.

    2nd last chance to bag those extra points for the Winter league. :P

    Dublin commuter line trains, and number 66 and 67 Dublin Buses will get you to Maynooth. If you are driving, we recommend parking in the New Campus.

    You can register online for the race here: http://bhaa.ie/events/aib-nui-maynooth-2014. Online registration is open to everyone, but we particularly request that day members register online.

    Driving directions from Dubli    n
    From the M4, leave motorway on the exit signposted Straffan, Naas, Maynooth, then at the roundabout take the 3rd exit: Road – R406 (signposted Maynooth). Continue straight to Maynooth village. At the traffic lights in the Square, turn left and continue down Main Street.


    **Free Parking** North campus: Turn right at the traffic lights at the Roost. Follow the main road, as it turns left out of the town. The North campus is clearly signposted a few hundred metres along this road on your right.


    **Metered Parking** South campus: Go straight ahead at the traffic lights at the Roost. The University gates are straight ahead. The college has advised us that paid parking is required here and that clamping may be in operation.

    Anyone care to offer odds on me getting around the 5k race on Wednesday night without spikes and staying upright? Not familiar with the course at all. Haven't done a BHAA race in a few years but have 3 or so I'd like to do soon.

    Such a good race last night in Malahide, hats off to the organisers. First time doing this one and enjoyed every minute. Great value for a tenner (and not a glowstick in sight :rolleyes:)

    Do you know if it is fairly obvious where you need to go once you get in to the K-Club? I imagine it is.

    I think it's €15 if you do it online, but will cost €25 on the day.

    http://bhaa.ie/events/k-club-2014/
    BHAA members can register online and on the day for 10e. Day runners can avail of the 15e rate by registering ONLINE before Thursday 10th April. The only entries on the day will be for full BHAA membership for 25e (race and annual membership).

    In my opinion it is short by about 150M
    Did it twice

    Great course (PB's all round). Seriously, it is a great course, well organized and a great feed afterwards. Overall great value but a controversial pb.

    Same for me, was looking forward to it as I really hoped for a PB but I injured myself playing soccer last week :mad: Does anyone could recommand a similar race ( flat and fast) coming up in the next 2 months ?! I really want to get a PB before staring my training for DCM. I heard about Dunboyne 10k or Dunshaughlin but cannot find anything for 2014... Anyway best of luck tomorrow everyone!

    Just back from the K-Club 10K, broke the 45 min so first goal of the year down and god to get the disappointment of Barcelona marathon out of the system :). Fantastic organisation and a big thanks to the volunteers and BHAA, and to the K-Club for a great spread (never seen macaroons as a post race snack before - obviously been hanging around with the wrong sort up to now:D)
    Course measured bang on 6.2 miles on my garmin, definitely a pb course. I will definitely look at more of the BHAA races in the future.

    Completely agree there, excellent race. I'd heard rumors of the great spread afterwards but I still couldn't believe it when I saw it. Loads of food.

    I must have confused where the start line was as I was waiting for a timing mat but there didn't seem to be one, so I just started my garmin where I thought the guys at the front would have started but my total came in at 6.18 and a time of 52:19. My posted time on the board afterwards was about 52:33 I think so am unsure of what my actual time was.

    Anyway, was a very fun run. I tried to go out quick and hold on but faded a bit in the middle miles, but happy enough with the time even if I didn't PB. first race of the year is done and now looking forward to a 5K on the May bank holiday.

    Well done to all involved it was a great day out.

    Maynooth 10k 18th May '14
    Kilbride 10k 17th June '14
    Dunshaughlin 10k 21st June '14.

    Kilbride & Dunshaughlin i've ran and both are fast courses. I'm running Maynooth next month but from what i heard and what i know of the area it should be a quick course to.
