Have run this race a couple of times - a well-orgainsed athletics club race......nice flat course (with a few sharp turns - the course seems to be the same as when I last ran it judging by the course map) and a great finish on the track to let ya sprint in.....if ya have a sprint left that is

Birdsong

Just giving our race a bump up with only two weeks to go, its shaping up to be a great race this year. We have super goody bags with a €10 voucher for Runworx in each one, and lots of super nice things from our local pharmacy Adrian Dunne in each too. The ladies are now busy planning their home baking for the refreshments after & for the first time we will have a video at the finish. enter online at www.precisiontiming.net

Great to run another expertly organized club race. Well done Lucan Harriers!
I felt a little like Bambi on ice on that bridge in the park. Would probably be quicker splashing through the river!

hi Krusty
Couldn't agree more , Great Race lovely atmosphere - and got a PB 23.45 - couldn't ask for more :-) - as regards the old bridge over the Griffeen , being a regular parkrunner there the fastest way to run that bridge when wet is to take a tight rather then a wide line and to cannon of the side of the bridge at about 45 degrees :-) its a little suicidal but it works :-) ( your mileage may vary )

Great race again from Lucan. I was prepared for the tight turn over. The second bridge this time.

Well done guys. Plenty of nice cake at the end too.

Enjoyed that this morning. Weather held off and it was lovely flat course (took another little chunk off a PB I set only last week!). Lots of smiley marshals cheering you on. Looking forward to next year.

Also, I forgot to say, best goody bag I've ever got.

Did anybody else notice the enormous USSR flag flying out the window of a car that drove past the clubhouse during the race? Any idea what it was about? Tell me I did not hallucinate it at least.

Another very well run race by Lucan Harriers, my third year doing it and I'll be back again next year.

I say the flag as well, was pretty hard not to as it was almost as big as the car.

I saw a lot of Russian flags myself in Newbridge house park yesterday. Apparently, it's a holiday in Russia that commemorates the end of world war II.
