Tallaght AC 5 miler 7th October 2012

TRR · 2012-09-26 14:06:30

Hey don't think there is a thread for this. Tallaght AC are holding their annual 5 milers on the 7th of October at 10.30 am. I'm not involved in the organisation myself but more info and online registration can be found at http://www.tallaghtac.ie/ Was a good race last year. 3 weeks before Dublin marathon so a great chance…

Was a good race last year. 3 weeks before Dublin marathon so a great chance to have a good blow out race or incorporate it into one of you final long runs with PMP section.

Last Years Thread

Doing this myself. Its a decent course first mile and a half is fast and down hill and then you have a decent drag up the Greenhills road (from turn at the school)

A two lap course and I think is certainly a PB course if the weather holds up (last year a nightmare wind in your face on the climbs)

I was meant to start a thread on this ages ago but completely forgot. Its a good race even if I am biased. I know a certain olympian will be taking part(and in all likelyhood taking everybody else to the cleaners).

Love the idea of the bath towel for the fist 200 finishers. I almost hope it will be raining.
Closing date is a bit early though, isn't it (30th September)?

Precision timing clocking the race aswell. Better run 10secs quicker than you planned so.

Might tag along for a few miles after with you (probably not the full 15-16 but perhaps 8-10)

I may join you as well. Sounds like a plan.

Regards the lack of advertising, I agree and is probably something that needs to be worked on. The only reason I remembered it was it was on, this time last year and the date stuck in my mind so I went and looked for info. You can get away with this sort of set up when the race is as well established as a race like the Raheny 5 but this race is still a baby and needs a little promotion. I better shut up now or else I will have landed myself a PR job tomorrow
