dont think this is a goody bag and medal sort of race,but for ur tenner u get a accuratly measured and safely marshalled course,accuratly timed and final results available very soon after finish of race and any profit go towards the club and as much tea and cock as you can handle after the race.
I cannot ever remember laughing as much at something i read...thanks for that ultraman....outstanding....but i dont think the nice tea ladies up in Leixslip will be to impressed

In light of recent assertions made, we have been asked by the AAI to make a formal statement regarding the Leixlip 5k event. The following is an official statement from the Le Chéile AC ethics committee, as a result of a long and hard, heated committee meeting:
We, the newly erected Leixlip 5k entertainment and pleasure committee of Le Chéile Athletic Club wish to make a Veritas Dictat statement and distance our club, by a fairly long length, from the statements made by UltraLightMan. The Leixlip 5k race is confirmed as being run under STD AAI rules and any assertion that we will be going to enormous lengths to amuse, entice or excite participants, to attend or take part, is a complete phallucy.
To be completely clear, the tea that will be provided in our newly erected clubhouse will not be accompanied by:
or accompanied by:
or even:
and most certainly not.....
but if there are individuals out there a little limp, underwhelmed and disappointed with this statement, and need a little more from the Leixlip 5k road race, we could probably arrange an audience with a stand-up guy, with big hands (or at least chubby fingers)....

Don't know if this was answered already but I didn't see any info on the site there when I quickly checked. Is this chip timed and is there any sort of goodie bag or anything for the finishers?
Hi G-Money - I should have responded directly before this, but things got a bit mis-directed because of the TypoGate scandal. As UltraLiteMan said, we can offer you a properly measured and certified 5km course and all the other elements that you expect from an Athletics Club organised event, as well as a warm welcome and a nice cup of tea afterwards. Given the low entry fee and the fact that it is used to raise much needed funds for the club, we concentrate on putting on a quality racing event as our primary focus. I have no doubt that as the race grows and we achieve a critical mass of participants, that will be of interest to advertisers and sport product manufacturers, a goody bag and the other elements you mention will become part of the event. Hope to see you in a couple of weeks

What kind of numbers are you expecting for this race folks?
Cheers
PK
Hi PK - last year we had 255 finishers and this year's entries are ahead of last year at this stage - the number who will register on the day will be a big variable factor, depending on weather etc. So if you planning to take part, best to register now (and save yourself a €5
)
Last year's results can be seen here if you want to see the spread of the field.0 -

Still haven't decided whether I am doing this or not.... but you may see me there!
Still time Perkina - online registration will be open until friday afternoon for €10 and you can of course come along on Saturday morning and register on the morning.......go on - you know it will be good for you 0 -

Here's hoping for cooperation by the little ones to make it easy for me to get out to the race!
Well done WB - I'm sure the appropriate co-operation will be forthcoming - just be sure to explain to them how important the race is to you as you put them to bed this evening, that will surely work 0 -
