    Hello there,

    Can anyone recommend an athletics track or indoor sprint track in Dublin city? I run the 60 & 100m.
    You would think that a google search would give a list but I can't find a thing.
    Please don't tell me that the closed UCD track was the only track in Dublin city??
    Thanks

    Donore harriers track, Tallaght AC track, Irishtown stadium and the ALSAA club track. (the thread about the closure of the UCD track discusses the alternatives)

    Great, thanks. I'm not too familiar with Dublin.
    Do any of them have indoor sprint tracks?

    There's a gravel track in Greendale.

    I haven't been on it in YEARS but it looks like it's still here

    I see on the GOAL mile website there's a running track in Eamonn Ceannt park in Sundrive aswell, someone mentioned this to me during the week as well.

    Anyone know whereabouts in Eamonn Ceannt it is? Is it inside the velodrome? :confused:

    I know there's Dublin Striders are based there (youth club I think?) is it their track?

    theres a cinder track inside the velodrome but I thought it was now in bits. Maybe its been repaired. You can clearly see it on bingmaps.

    I'm amazed no-one has mentioned Santry stadium (Morton stadium).

    Also, I never knew about Kilbarrack - is it a proper 400m track?

    I couldn't tell you, I had no interest in running when I lived there. I do know the local community games team used to train there.
