    Anybody recommend some good 10k races over next 2 months. I have heard dunshaughlin and clonee are the better ones?

    I did Clonee last year and like it. Nice local club race feel to it too. All on country back roads.

    Great one in Claregalway in August. Flat course and well organised.

    Looking really for 10ks in the next month in around Dublin. Clonee probably seems like the best option since Dunshaughlin is sold out.

    Only downside is Kilcock 5k is the following day. Two good races that I'm sure a lot of runners would like to do both

    Yes did that one last year. Nice race and a course that will give a good fair test.

    Did Clonee before and its quiet popular so will do that one anyway. Nice to have the race as a workout during the week and schedule long run for weekend after a few days recovery. Fits well.

    How does the Clondalkin course compare to Fingal course where this race used to be? Thanks

    Not sure what Fingal was like, but here's my activity from last year in Clondalkin.

    Lots of people in fancy dress costumes would rule that one out for me.
    Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Yep. That's just what I'm looking for and at 11 euro to enter, it would be rude not to :)
    That will do me, thank you for the recommendation.
