Entries are now open for the 2007 running of the Fields of Athenry 10k Road Race which will take place on the 26th of December next. The race will be run over the same course as last year, starting alongside the railway tracks in Athenry and finishing under the town’s medieval Arch.

This year race entries will be accepted in any of the following ways –

1. Online at www.RunIreland.com. There is no surcharge for online entry, but you’ll need a credit card.

2. By post using the usual race entry form.

3. A limited amount of late entries will be available on race day at the venue, subject to availability.

The cost of race entry will be Euro 15.00

We’d strongly encourage people to use either the first or the second methods above as to do so will assist us greatly with race administration and will secure your place in the race.

This race warmly welcomes runners, walkers and wheelchair athletes of all standards.
