Le Chéile AC will be hosting the Leixlip 5k on the 7th May. This is an AAI permitted event with a certified jones counter measured 5km course. Entry for the race will be €10 for advance registration and €15 on the morning.
It is a race and course suitable for all levels of runner and walkers are also welcome to take part. 100% of the funds raised will be used for the development of athletics locally.
You can see feedback and comments from last year's event here. Here are some of the positive comments that are included in the Boards feedback:
“Fantastic race, couldn't fault a thing. You really have a great club from the organisation at the start to the hospitality at the end. Allot of clubs and especially the AAI could learn a thing or two about how to put on a top notch, enjoyable race.”
“That was a great race - impeccably organised, a nice course, and great grub as well.”
“To those who didn’t run today, its a cracking race, very well organised, will defo be back next year”
“Bananas water and chocolate right on the finish line is great for when all you can do is collapse on the ground. Then when you've recovered sufficiently you can get loads and loads of buns, chocolate cake, fruit cake, biscuits, more chocolate, tea and coffee, water, sweet drinks etc over at the tents. It really is an impressive operation.”
“Not running all that long but this will be on my calendar for next year.”
“Le Cheile club members and helpers were great. The best 10 euro I have spent in a while. I'd love to bring people who are entering these new, badly organised (IMO) expensive races out to this race. I personally am not into goody bags (usually contain nothing anyway) and crappy tee shirts so was glad not to have to spend 20 instead of my 10. This race is definitely in my top 5 and I'll be back again.”
“This was my first race and I really enjoyed it. I have no past experience of these events, but all the same, from my point of view it seemed very well organised. It was a nice course and, as many have pointed out, top marks for the grub afterwards! Actually, I couldn't find fault with any part of the race organisation.”
The only aspect of the event that received any negative feedback was the wind on the day - a sub-committee has been formed to see what can be done to rectify that situation for this year's event

RQ - you tell me when you'd like to run a Leixlip 5k and I'll arrange it for you - I may even be able to get someone else to run it with you 0 -

:):) Loved this race last year and plan to bring a few newbies this year. Plus of course the cake, chocolate and, if memory serves me correct a flower for the girls at the end.
