Just to give our local 10k here in Mayo a mention - this weekend, Sunday, there's a 10km if anyone in the area to give it a go. Starts in Derrada which is 4k from Newport Town.

Be warned that there are a good few hills but what goes up must come down!

Are there any facilities such as showers etc for after the event?

Great event very well organised and you were not lying about the hills :eek: very tough and thankfully the weather held up well mostly the last two kms in hailstones was an experience.:D

Glad those hills were at the start and not the finish, that combined with the wind and hailstones would have made an interesting finish

Enjoyed the course and good way to start the inaugural race there.

Really enjoyed this race. Spectacular scenery and nice course. The hills weren't too bad since they were fairly short, but there was a lot of them.
Well organised and good fun.
Any sign of the results?

The time I clocked myself was quicker then the official recorded time which is strange (about over a minute) plus the course was a bit longer according to the GPS that tracked my run.
