The 3rd running of the Newport 10k, takes place on Friday, May 25 @ 7.30pm. Entry fee for Runners is 15euro. Registration from 6pm - 7pm at the Newport Community Centre. The course is AAI certified. Contact Niamh @ 086 3823 819 or Seamus @ 086 8184 262. Newport is only a 10 minute drive from the Castletroy side of Limerick. It's a lovely country run starting and finishing in Newport, Co. Tipperary, with the run taking you past the Clare Glens. Last year's winner was Michael Carmody with a time of 32.37. This year's chosen charity is Cystic Fibrosis, a very worthwhile cause. The tea, sambos & cakes afterwards were lovely last year.

Just a reminder that this race is taking place tomorrow 3 weeks. Friday evening race, perfect way to round off your week and still be able to do another run / race over the weekend if desired.

Course record was set by winner last year in 32.37. First half of course has a few long inclines with one decent downhill after GAA pitch. Second half is relatively flatter. Weather was scorching the first 2 years, which definitely had an impact. Tar was actually melting the first year. It's a lovely country run and a good fair test. The winner will deserve it.

Yep, that about sums it up....would say it's similar to the Bilboa course if you're familiar with that.

A lot of races seem to be moving to Friday evenings which I think is a great idea, hopefully ye get a good turn out next week

sideline warrior

Yeah, hopefully there is a good turn out. Weather forecast is good so the weather gods would appear to be looking after this event for the third year running. Did the Mungret 10k today in a PB under 44 mins so now looking forward to next Friday.
