That dj should change his name, Elvis Jones sounds so much better

I worked at this last year and its a really well organised race that great vlaue for money. I was working and still enjoyed every second of it. Well worth the trip down to Carlow ands 2 min from the motorway as well !

[tunguska]

Same day as the frank duffy 10mile which is unfortunate. Although the national half is the following weekend(2nd september) so maybe most club runners would opt for the tinryland race instead. Think I'll go for this myself.

[runnerboy]

Its unfortunate that we are clashing with the Frank Duffy 10 miler but we have been going with the last saturday of August for the last couple of years. There is a half in wexford and longford that weekend also and its getting harder and harder to get a good date that suits everyone. Traditionally we were in October but it wasn't working so it was either change the date or fold the race. Its ideal now as a blowout a week before the national half marathon and there is plenty of people out there who dont want to run longer races. Hope to see a good crowd on race day for our 33rd edition.

Just a quick bump for our annual road race
6 WEEKS TO ROCKFORD 4 MILER
Only 6 weeks left to enter, the 33rd edition of Tinryland AC’s annual 4 mile fun run/race Sat 25th Aug 2012. From humble beginings the ‘’Rockford’’ has grown in popularity and gone from strength to strength. Sponsored from the begining by Dan Morrissey Ltd it is one of the longest running sponsorships in Irish athletics.
Last year we had a huge turnout of competitors from the local and surrounding areas including Fit2Go Bootcamp and SLOT Ladies Fit for Life and local GAA clubs.
We cater for all people whether you want to run or walk and you don’t have to be super fit to compete and enjoy one of the best races on the Irish running scene. So come along and enjoy the atmosphere in a local run, accurately measured and organised in a professional and safe manner where all runners are treated the same. Last year's race had the highest entry to date with almost 300 runners toeing the line and this year we hope to exceed this number.
Proceedings begin on race day at 5 pm with a 1 mile fun run event for all juveniles up to the age of 15.This is a fun event where all ages will start together in a mass start and all finishers receive a medal. Following the juvenile run the main run will commence at 530pm. Last year a huge number of local runners / walkers and fit for life competed and raised a large amount of money for local charities and sporting organisations. So why not come along and have a chance of winning our super spot prizes and enjoy our unique road race. DJ Mark Neilon will add to the atmosphere in the village by playing music in the local square. This year for the first time in the history of the Rockford we will have chip timing from Galway based company Red Tag Timing, also all finishers will receive a specially designed medal.
In recent years there has been a huge surge in race promoters putting on expensive races where the normal runner gets nothing in return. With this in mind and after the success of last years spot prizes, we have decided to continue with the Top class spot prizes which will be restricted to non individual prize winners who finish the 4 mile event. Included in these prizes is the opportunity to win a fantastic €1,000 holiday voucher which is valid for 1 year. A 26 inch wide screen LCD TV, a Digital Camera, a Luxury weekend for two and €200 jewellery Voucher. All usual cash prizes for Seniors Male and Females, Masters and Team prizes.
Post race activities include refreshments where a wide selection of food will be available free of charge for all. Race video, presentations, spot prize draw and showers in the local GAA centre .So calling all runners /walkers and spectators to come along and support our race and to enjoy a great atmosphere in Tinryland, Co.Carlow.

Yeah can never understand why there's not much more interest in threads like ur own one RB, the ''country'' races def seem to get overlooked on boards........... anyway can't highly recommend this race enough (unfortunately due to work won't get to do it!!!) for a great race, great course, really well organised event and a fine feed afterwards.....something for everyone whether ur an elite hare up the front, a normal club runner or someone jumping into a race for the first time
