One correction - the Oylegate 1/2 had chips this year - possibly the 10km as well.

I prefer sandwiches and buns myself but will put them in for next year.

Has anyone done the Kilmore 10k before, got a Garmin linky?

There was a Garmin link from 2010 but I can't find it. Here is a video of the route.

Thanks - I created a Garmin course from the map on FB: http://connect.garmin.com/course/4741637

Just to ammend some info on the Ferns half marathon. We had originally planned to have chip timing but this is not now possible. However, preparations are well underway to make the return of this race (after a 20yrs break!) a great event. Looking forward to seeing everyone there on raceday

The longer the race the less the need for chip timing IMO. Also, I don't see the point in having chip timing when the distance is not certified and some cases short by several hundred meters. There has been such cases in the county. If it is AAI certified it is accurately measured, otherwise you cannot get a permit.

Fit4life 3 Mile trail race in Annacurragh this Sunday, start time 12.30, might interest those in north Wexford, just down the road.

Has anyone an idea of the Ferns half route? Perhaps a garmin readout?

Brilliant, thanks for the quick reply folks:) That finish looks interesting!!

Podge83 · 24-09-2013 04:26PM

Hey Wextipp, could you add this one to the calendar:

Ferrycarrig 5 Five Mile Road Race. This will be run on 12 January 2014, again at Wexford Youths Complex, Ferrycarrig Park. The cost and whether there will be chip timing will be confirmed in the next week or two. The distance for the race is AAI Certified.

The Race is organised by Crossabeg/ Ballymurn Community Centre aided by St Killian's AC

Thanks

It's a decent finish alright Trigger!! But it's very runnable - and it's the very same finish as to the Mick Murphy memorial 4 miler, where u emerge on the main road in the MM 4m, that's the last mile and a quarter of the half marathon, so it's on a great surface on the hard shoulder even if it is steady uphill...........:)

Hey, BB, I was hoping to get up for the Half on Sunday buts its coming a few weeks early. Also was side tracked last weekend with events in Dublin - my activities for a few days weren't contributory to good Athletic Performance!!

All the best for it!!

Anyone else know of any other road events. The more complete the list the better and the less livelihood of clashes.

Also, I was thinking of starting a new thread called "Running events in Wexford" and include cross country and other off-road type events. What do people think.

I think that would be an improvement. It'd keep the thread ticking over for the next few months anyway!

I haven't done cross country before and I'd like to give it a go this year..so some discussion on the Wexford set up would be interesting.

I saw SBR mention a 10k in Balloughter on 6 October, but I haven't seen that elsewhere. Surf n Turf is till on 5 October (10k and half).

Well the Share A Dream foundation have just launched their fun run for Gorey - it's called the ''Monster Dream Run'' (and is over 5km) - due to it happening at Halloween and they're encouraging runners to dress in halloween costumes - Sunday October 27th @ 1pm starting and finishing at the Amber Springs Hotel.

It's going to be a relatively big event and one I think that is well worth supporting as it's for a great cause.

The Ballycanew to Ballyoughter (and back) 10km is likely to be a very local event and one that I wouldn't know anything about apart from getting notification about it on facebook - check out the link here https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/400822926696095/

It's on the same day as the novice (and even-age juvenile) cross country so that's a real pity as it's a local event for me and one I'd liked to have done, but it starts at 1pm, the same time as the xc kicks off at

One of the mods has kindly changed the name of this thread to Running events in Wexford. So we can keep the same thread and broaden out the discussion to other running events.

Very early i know but any idea if the Strawberry half marathon/5 mile will be on in May again in 2014 please?

trigger26 · 07-10-2013 05:01PM

No date set yet but keep an eye on http://www.slaneyolympic.com/ who organise the race, they have a facebook site too

The 2013 Strawberry Half may have been the last one i'm afraid.
