Good question, I hadn't heard of a B race either up until recently, seems to be a munster thing.

Had a quick google and found this summary of a B race on St.Finbarrs website

With all the big guns and boy racers ruled ineligible, the Novice B is an ideal opportunity for new club members and L-plate runners to experience cross country on more level terms

So it seems like an effort to take the fear or intimidation out of XC racing for newbies and an invitation to just come along and try it out. Hmm, I'm a new club member, can I run novice B? :pac:

Gerry Farnan has two races a 5K and an 8K. If you are doing masters trials you have to do 5K if female and 8k if male, otherwise you can do whichever one you want (my understanding of what AI have released anyway)

Other races vary in distance depending on the event. Mens races are generally 6K - 10K(?)

Dundalk IT for Intercounties and Santry for the Novice...

What's the story with the Juniors.. 8k?

Nope, they'll be separately marked out courses. Probably the same ones as what they had on last Sunday in the Park.

"*Junior women are asked to enter the 5km open race and the junior men the 8km open race, any queires on the junior races please contact stevenmacklin@athleticsireland.ie"

okay - the above quote confused me, seems that the juniors run 3 laps and masters 4 - all starting at same time or diff races..?

My understanding is that they run at the same time and the juniors finish a lap early. I am not involved in the organisation, could be wrong

KielyUnusual

Is the date for the Dublin Novice this year known or has it been even selected yet?

Sacksian

I don't know - I just wanted to reply because I'm looking forward to this season's xc thread already.

I thought it was always the first Sunday in October, which would be the 4th, but it's been later.

Sacksian

Actually, it is the 4th, according to the OPW Phoenix Park list.

Excellent. I'm away last week in September and was worried I'd miss it. Really looking forward to the XC season myself. I'll be seeing you regular on the hills in the Phoenix Park these Saturday mornings so?

Eh...probably not for a while yet. Just graduating from a long run of 4 miles. If I avoid hills for the next month or so, I should be okay by October.

Should be a good battle for the team medals this year - DSD had a very young team last year, so I'd imagine most of them are still eligible, but I'll leave the more detailed analysis for the 2015 thread!

Won't be starting sessions till September myself but a decent spread to keep people busy right through till Christmas if they wanted.

Great to see two non championship races at the start of the season to hopefully give people a taster for it.
