That's lovely feedback, thank you. We enjoyed hosting. Contemplating launching our usual Christmas 5k at the moment, but finding it very hard to get volunteers to organise.
I enjoyed the Seamie Weldon 5k in Ardee last weekend myself, lovely race, rolling course, good atmosphere.
Got my entry in for Run the Line in Nov this morning, first event since who knows how long. Going to be slow & painful but am sure I'll appreciate every single second :)
Anyone doing charlevile on Saturday week, also looking at brandon Bay run although never ran on the beach for that long.
There is no 200 person limit.
Tell them to have a word with the organisers of the Mullingar Half.
Seems to be an awful lot of over 60 bedwetters in charge of athletics clubs, holding the country back.
http://www.rathfarnham5krun.ie/ I'm gutted 2bh, by far one of the highlights of the race calendar, I'll give Rathfarnham credit they tried 2 different dates but just too much uncertainty with covid restrictions and the limit of 200 people was not workable. All I can say is if the GAA was in charge of athletics in Ireland they would of made it happen ha.
Ratoath half this Saturday
The termonfeckin 10mile was run yesterday with 200, by Drogheda AC. Great organisation on the day and marshalling on the roads. a lovely countryside course with a few challenging hills. Myrunresults did the chipping and start/finish line
great to be back at a start line!
I have added a 10k race option to the event at Shanes Castle event on Sept 19th. Enter through Athletics NI on the link below. SCroll down the page to se it.
Championchip Ireland Shanes Castle Half Mar, 10k and Relay | Online Registration System by Primo Solutions (athleticsni.org)
10K in Kilcormac, Co Offaly on 29 August
They did that last year too, went very quiet but continued to accept registrations until they eventually called it off on Sept 15th or thereabouts, less than 3 weeks before the event was due to take place.
Radio silence from them. I missed out on Belfast too. They should come out with a statement. It is strange that they are still accepting applications.
I'm definitely looking at other options as it's unlikely it will go ahead.
Does it seem odd that Galway is still open for registration? Would have thought it would be well full at this stage.
I'm in the exact same boat as you in regards to Galway and I hesitated a day too long on entering Belfast. I sent Galway Bay a message last week too without a reply which I was hoping to get some answer to determine if I was going to pay the entry for Belfast. I'm finding this all very Deja Vu to last year.
Thanks for all the replies folks. If only I could get the organisers of Galway to respond to a message.
I ran a couple of the 10Ks organised by Championchip in NI this year. They were very well organised, as I'm sure this one will be.
It’s a complete and utter farce!
0.1% of cases can we attributed to outdoor transmission
an outdoor activity that is beneficial for mental and physical health can’t have more than a couple of hundred participating but I can eat sh1t in an airless indoor cinema
some logic
TbL
Yes I think it is ridiculous that at this stage that a few hundred people are not allowed to run a road race.
Most adults that want a vaccine now have one..we are nearly as safe as we are going to be.
40,000 at Croke Park. Indoor dining and drinking.
Road running would be a lot of safer than any of the above..
Enniscrone is on October 3rd. Not flat by any stretch would will most likely go ahead as numbers will be less then 200
Mullingar in November is on AFAIK
Looks like this is gone. I'd say Galway being cancelled is inevitable. Bit ridiculous that we can let 45000 into Croke Park but can't allow a few hundred people run around streets.
Belfast is booked out. If anyone knows of any full marathon taking place anywhere on the island in the autumn please let me know. I'd hate all the training to go to waste.
I'll happily pay for a transfer for Belfast if there's one going also.
Any word on of rathfarnham 5k will go ahead or not? Provisional date 29th sept.
East Galway Harriers 5k on Saturday 4th September
The Irish 3/4 marathon guys are also running a full marathon on the same day in Longwood. 3rd October
http://irish3quartermarathon.ie/
Galway Bay Marathon in Salthill still have registrations open and are saying it will go ahead on October 2nd. 10km, Half and Full marathon event. Could be a good DCM replacement.
