Paced this last year. Really enjoyed it. Hope to race it this year if j ain't pacing it. Undulating course. Sounds tougher than it is. Prob cost me30 sec if I was racing it but it's one worth doing. All proceeds to a local school is far better supporting than into a lads back pocket. At 20 euro with chip tshirt. But the spread after it afterwards is worth paying the 20 alone

Haha, totally agree, the spread last year was phenomenal!!:D

Enjoyed the course last year alright, a couple of hills but not severe at all. Nice race for a good cause. Hopefully I can make it this year but will depends on work.

I train along this route alot.Not sure it is as tough as the luggacurren 10k but testing enough.Hopefully my coach will give me the go ahead to compete in it this year provided i have no injurys and will be 7 months out of the orthotics at that stage so fingers crossed.Not sure its a coarse i could break my pb of 32.39 on though,considering the hills but it's one for the calender should i make it please god,plus its for a good cause too.The remainder of the coarse is pretty much downhill so you will always make up for lost time there so it is possible.

NoGutsNoGlory

your more than welcome to enter David.. Brian Maher (the current national 10k champion) is the course record holder in 31.06... it would be great to have a few lads up the front pushing hard all the way...... great prize money as welll ... 250 for 1st place.. thats 100 more than the winner in enniscorthy got today .

Yeah this would be a good 10k to get my summer season going so will see how the body is by may and what the boss says:D.Brians time is very hard to beat especially on that coarse.I ran 32.39 on luggacurren in laois few months ago and that was a hilly 10k but i think the hill in stoney has more of a drag to it so its a really difficult start. Ya never know word might spread and a bus load of kenyans hop off in stoneyford after hearing the moneys good this year hahahah.:D

Must sign up for this. Challenging enough that might cost you 15 seconds over the 10k but it's a course I will be aiming for a pb. If I don't the great spread after it will make up for it
