I find different colours easier to scan through - you can see there's a hill/XC/track race faster than you can read the details. The main motivation was to highlight the track and XC, since we've had threads about both this year where people have expressed an interest in doing them, but didn't know when they were on. This makes them stand out as something different from the mass of road races.

I've put in the initial effort for the past few years in putting together a race calendar, which takes a bit of time and effort. You want to add bells and whistles because you think they add to it: it's all yours.

That's some bumper update you did there Ray.

RayCun · 25-03-2012, 10:34

Somebody likes piling on the work for me

RacoonQueen · 25-03-2012, 10:45

I hate to be critical, but, a few of those updates are missing websites/threads.

YFlyer · 12-06-2012, 15:14

The fixture list on the new shiny AAI website is quite bare.

RunningKing · 04-12-2012, 22:22

Great list. thanks for pulling this together.

Personally I think it should be a google doc

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...0NUh6c1E#gid=0

as that will produce a nice webpage like this. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...=0&output=html

If county,price, distance etc are all filled in like this is is easy to build a little search around it too that would actually work other than the crap on runireland. I do think there should be a column for provisional date as some may be. Also it is pretty easy to build a google calendar from it too.

I have no objections to you adding the races above to a google document, and updating it as new race threads are added to the subforum (or you hear of races from somewhere else). I'll happily replace the list above with a link if you do that.

I don't have an issue maintaining the document and getting the search working but the point of it is for everyone to add their own races to build a complete calendar. Due to it being a huge task I don't it can be done by a single person. Perhaps a sorted table by date on the forum would be a better approach ?

Quick question: Whats the best 10k race to aim for a sub40 attempt?

I had GIR in mind on April 14th (42min last year), but the K-Club 10k the following week may be a better course for it (never ran it)?
I dont think this years GIR goes down the Fury Glen, so that might be an advantage over previous years?

Are there better alternatives?

Mick Manning 10km in Dunshaughlin is good race always with fast times.

A lot of people run GIR and the Kclub race and normally they are 30-40 seconds faster on the Kclub course. Great race too.
