Jingle Bells and Aware

tunney

Anyone know the dates of these?
Or perhaps an accurate 10km in December.

Jingle Bells 5k is probably Saturday 4th December.

The Aware 10k is on Saturday 11th December at 10am. We should probably contact Blanchardstown Gardai Traffic Dept to avoid the 9k/10k issue. The Gardai allowed the road be closed for at least 2 hours on Wednesday last for the duathlon.

I emailed aware the other day to ask if it would be back at a 10k this year and they confirmed it would be. Online reg will be open in two weeks.

yeah- you'll only be gone 50 mins or so, sure she'll probably be watching chitty chitty bang bang and wont even notice you've left the house!

I think a stephens day 10k is a brilliant idea. have started to think i might organise one for charity in cork. big undertaking?

are birds allowed do that? i wonder are they doing 'fanuary' this yr, in response to the great results from movember last yr?? there was talk of it but im not sure if the relevant charity got good feedbak. birds are too prudish about their private parts.

Who knows, we raised 3k for Movember last yr in work and won't get to grow this yr so i'll run this and gather some funds instead !

The Run Ireland site is always my first port of call to get dates for things like this [and also to see if there is anything interesting coming up over months ahead.

At the risk of showing the world my stupidity, when I click on the Jingle bell run in that link it takes me to one in Listowel? What's the name of the one in the Phoenix park?
