FITZA

Route maps for both distances. Both 5k and 10k routes have changed from last year making them both flatter and faster.

Hi Ososlo, I know there were a couple of guys from an athletic club close by going to run both the 5k and 10k routes...I'll check with the club and see if they have a garmin link:) Failing that I could jog the 5k route in the next few days and try and post a garmin link.

Hi Ososlo, here is my garmin link to the Funlavin 5k, the start is correct, however I think I might have turned approx. 50m too early but thats about all. I am now debating doing the 5k instead of the 10k The first 1k is almost all downhill:) Just in case you think I should be in the Olympics with my time...I drove the route:D

For anyone who might be thinking of doing the 10k I will put up garmin link tomorrow.

click on your name in Garmin Connect, then 'settings', then 'privacy' and click on 'everyone can see profile' or something like that!

no:o
Click on your name. Then 'profile'. Then 'edit profile'. Then 'privacy'. Then 'who can see my new activities' and change it to 'everyone'.
We'll get there eventually:D

Afaik that only allows everyone to see all future runs.
For an old activity to be seen by everyone go to the activity. Click on the 'lock' symbol (top left of the screen, to the right of the 'delete' symbol) and enable it to be seen by everyone.

Did the 10k last year and am doing the 10k this year although 5k looks to be a real pb course. Some hills approx midway through the 10k but other than that its fairly ok and a straight run of almost 1k to the finish for both 5k and 10k...nice to see the 'Finish' in the distance:D

Message from the Organisers - We would encourage as many people as possible to register for Funlavin before the event. Last year registration was very busy and we have to make sure the race starts on time at 11am.
We will be taking registrations at a stall this weekend at the Family Fun Day during the Dunlavin Arts Festival on Dunlavin Green, Sunday 22nd June.

Stevo1983

Signed up this afternoon, see you next Sunday.

Thanks Stevo1983 I think their facebook message (above) was aimed at locals who, last year, left registration until the day which made for a busy morning!! Hope you enjoy your run

The 10k seems pretty flat, is that in fact the case? Pretty likely to give this a go.

Hi Basster, the first 2km are flat, a bit of a drag on the 3rd km, a nice downhill in the 4th km, then a couple of 'nice' (:rolleyes:)hills after that, but the last 3km is grand. I would not call it a 'flat' course but it is definitely flatter than last year. I am running the 10k on Sunday and have had a run on the new route. I ran last years and one hill in particular was vicious:D, gone this year:). Hopefully you will decide to give it a go:) Just to let you know the 5k is downhill for the 1st Km, slight drag on the 2nd km, then pretty much flat all the way. A PB course I would think

I took in the 5k route on a run last night and the 10k tonight. The 10k is a little bit up-and-down, but I only really felt the hill around 6k to be really noticeable, and it's not too bad. Overall a nice run.

The 5k has a very fast first km and is gently up and down after that, certainly a potential PB course, though to me not as enjoyable as the 10k route, as it's mostly a straight road out and back.

That being said I'll probably go with the 5k myself on Sunday.

Hi vinny1313, I agree with you on the 10k route...it is a nice one even with the hills. I haven't run the first km of the 5k route (all downhill) but have run the rest of it (straight road) many times and likewise think it could be a pb course even without the hill start:)

Had a few options for races this weekend, but going to give this 5k a bash. I'll be coming over the gap, how far from Hollywood is it?

Hi barryoneill50, Dunlavin is only about 10mins from the garage in Hollywood just off the N81...coming from the gap - cross over the N81 (slightly staggered crossroads - turn right and immediately left) and it is a straight road to Dunlavin. Hope you enjoy the 5k:)

Great morning on the run. Probably the best set up I've seen at an event in a long while.
Got my 5k PB so I can go back to my 10ks now.
Great spread at the end back in the hall, my kids were delighted with it.
Nice little medal too.
Thanks to all involved.

Nice race, died with the hills around the middle though. Somehow managed third, though if the race continues to grow in coming years my time would certainly not not place me as well! Nice crew running it, keen for feedback and great spread afterwards.

vinny1313

Well done to everyone involved for improving on what already was a good event, top marks! I was glad not to have to finish the 5k up the hill into the town this year! I said during the week that it was potentially a PB course, and it was. I knocked over 30 seconds off mine, scraping in just under 19 minutes.

Thank you for your kind comments. I will forward them to the Organising Committee, who as you said Basster, are keen for feedback. I ran the 10k and was happy enough, some of the course is my training ground (the hills) so knew there were there:( Enjoyed the run and delighted to get the 'overs' prize:D I thought it was very well organised:)
PS I am not on the organising committee, but live in the area, I felt the Boards would be great for getting the event known and I have been updating one of the committee members with any feedback received here ....thank you to all who have viewed, commented and especially those who took part today:)
Forgot to say....nice to meet thewolf and vinny1313 today Both happy with PBs!
