Running group/club/whatever in Dundalk

    Hello everyone,

    Complete amateur compared to most of you but the information I am gleaning has been invaluable.

    Anyway, what I really want to ask is, does anyone know of a running group or club or something in Dundalk that would be good for a relative beginner?

    I see loads of people running in groups around St. Helena's park and the bypass and I think it could be just what I need. I just have no idea how to find out about them or contact them.

    I started running/jogging before Christmas and feel I am doing ok from what i am reading here, but I think the encouragement, advice and camaraderie I would get from other people might help push me a bit more.

    Also, there are times when I just don't bother going out, but if I knew I had to meet someone and that they would be waiting on me, it would make me get off my bum.

    I am very busy with work at the minute so it could be a couple of months before I could meet up with anyone, but I was just thinking about it today and so decided to post anyway. Can anyone help??

    You could try North East Runners, they are a running club based in Dundalk. I'm not a member myself but they seem to have a good crowd running with them and they train fairly regularly in the Dundalk area. I don't have a contact number but they have a facebook page, just type in North East Runners Dundalk and you'll find them.

    Setanta Tri Club or ask in Felda gym.

    Join the Setanta Triathlon facebook page and ask in there.

    We run on the Bush track on Mondays, speed work.
    We run in the Furry Glen from the start of summer on wards, speed stuff also.

    Yup they are still very much active, send them a message on facebook. Jim is the main man, I think they meet very regularly.
