1. What is 'local', there may be some races near you on the calendar
2. Sure, you'll be well able for a 10k. Here's a starter training plan (you'll want to jump in in the middle)

Had a look at the calender I'm in North Tipp and races seem to be in Cork or Dublin which is a bit of a trek. Thanks for the link to training plan think I can go from week 4 or 5. Really looking forward to race now!
