Round 2 will be held this Thursday Feb 18th, originally planned as a 3k floodlight XC, due to the availability of the venue this will now be held on road.

Time: 19:30
Location: Wicklow Town
Directions: Entering Wicklow Town from the N11 veer left at the Y junction (100 yds past AIB), continue over the bridge and take an immediate left, continue on to the Comhaltas building just past the Leitrim Lounge.
Fee: €5 (there is a requirement to be registered with AAI)
Wear bright clothes, reflective vest, etc.

Don't know the course yet, but ran a 3k there previously, which started a couple of hundred yds north of the Leitrim, ran south and over the bridge, along the quays, up past the scenic cark park, past the golf course, turn south onto Dunbar road, back through the town, turn right opp the Grand Hotel, past the Garda station and back over the bridge to finish at the Leitrim (think mainly in reverse for anyone who has done the Wicklow 5k)

Hey Beepbeep, are these open to all or do you need to be member of AAI?
Thanks

BeepBeep67

Nope - just turn up and pay a fiver - next one is in Arklow the week after DCM - 2 miles on the road I think.

bewleys berry

yeah it starts and finishes at the swimming pool and involves laps of the little lake beside the Arklow Bay hotel (I think it's 2 laps but I can't fully remember from last year).........totally pancake flat course so I would encourage anyone to run it (great way of blowing DCM outta legs )

Yeah, it's gone from the site and some of the dates have changed from the link at the beginning of this thread - last one is planned for Greystones on Dec 12th - 5k on the road.

Slogger Jogger

Thanks. Could be a mucky one if its along the river trail. Timing doesn't suit me as I've the mountain rescue moonlight run on Saturday evening, mores the pity, as Devil's Glen is the bees knees.

Fit4Life 2010 - December Race is Cancelled!

The December Fit4Life race, scheduled for Greystones on next Sunday 12th, is cancelled as the route is still dangerously icy.
As the series is now only eleven races, your best placings from six races will count towards the overall results, instead of seven from twelve. Anyone who has run six races will receive an award.

annieee

Thanks for letting us know.

I was driving through there this morning and I was thinking it would be cancelled alright. Loads of ice on the footpaths still. You'd need a MAJOR thaw to shift it.
