The Teachers XC is down for the 13th October in Castleknock (in the calendar posted to the beginning of this thread)
The Dublin athletics XC fixtures have just been released, and the Dublin Novices are on the 14th of October, so the Teachers race is pretty much ruled out for anyone doing the Novices (or vice versa).
Any chance that the Teachers date can be changed?

They always seem to clash. Stop been a wimp and run both, sure you have 24 hours between events:D

Well done BNY Mellon & the BHAA for a grand few laps of Irishtown on a stunning evening. The Morton stadium stole some of our regulars on the night. Liked the bottle of water, banana, twix & mars for the on-track afters.

Anyone know how many race groups they split this into? and whats the Standards split up?

RayCun

Probably 1-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-17, 18-30. Most likely have more details closer to the race.

Does anyone have info on the 10k on the start of September, doesn't seem to be much on the site.

Isn't that the former "run like an animal" 10K where Boards AC had a little internal race a couple of years back?

RayCun

I think so. Last year Grant Thornton organised a BHAA race on that route in September. I'm guessing this is the same, but not organised by one company?

We'll have the timetable from Stephen on the website over the weekend.

AJCOT

Can't think of a better way to start September(01/09/12) than running a mile at the magical Morton Stadium where in 1958, 20,000 watched Herb Elliot run 3.54 & break the world record. Don't expect a similar number of spectators or a time that good but you'll have fun, food & happy memories.

Anyone know how the relay works in terms of entering teams? Can anyone put a 4 person team together on the day or is it business house teams only?

Just looking for some advice on this. I have recently set up an Athletics/Running Club at work and am now in the process of getting some club gear organised.
Someone at work questioned if we need to register Club colours/designs with AAI?

My assumption is that as we are just participating in BHAA events that we are unlikely to need to do this since we won't be an AAI affiliated club, just a works club.

Can someone here advise if this assumption is correct?

Yeah BHAA and AAI are totally separate, nothing to worry about.

Don't forget the Zurich Mile this Saturday, start September in style!

AJCOT

Some fantastic races today, with the 4 x 400 relay race the final event & a highlight for many. A huge well done to Stephen Willoughby for picking an exceptional venue & the move to a Saturday morning for track racing was another inspired decision. Thanks to Connor Jennings & all at Zurich for a great day with wagons of food after & of course Paul O'Connell & the BHAA crew plus Garret Doherty our world champion, for a really enjoyable retro running demonstration. September is shaping up to be a good month, roll on Saturday next with the 10k in Firhouse! Good luck to all our people running the half in Athenry tomorrow.

AJCOT

Saturday next is going to be dry & sunny so why not head to Firhouse for a 10k, a possible tan & plenty food after? "Finding the run of Ourselves" does not involve spending huge amounts, it's a mere tenner for members.

Major revamp of the website is in progress atm and this feature will be there. For the moment just renew at the registration desk at the next race.

Can non-members register on the day?

Yes, you can register online or on the day. Registration opens at 9.30 and closes at 10.30, so get there in plenty of time.

emerald007

Well done on the organizer seems to have gone off without a hitch. Lovely day for it though (mind you didnt make it easy)

Have to give credit to one of the young guys manning the water station. One of the lead group either missed bottle of water/ dropped one and the steward chased him for a good 200m to ensure that he got a bottle.

This sort of above and beyond gestures are things which should be highlighted so fair play to organizers and the steward in question

Very impressed by my 15 year old son running like this. He must have a bit of speed in him. Will have to get him to give up that football lark and focus on running. Maybe he will be able to stay with the leaders the whole way next year.
