The results of NaFianna AC "Bob HeffernanMemorial 5km" at Johnstownbridge 26 May are now available on Meath Athletics website.

This race was chip timed by Precision Timing Ltd and sponsored by race HQ the Hamlet Court Hotel. It was a well organised event with over 180 runners on the start line. PLEASE CONTNUE TO SUPPORT LOCAL CLUB PROMOTIONS which help grassroots athletics development.

Umpire_bat - agree with you re organisation of the event, I certainly enjoyed it (at least the little breeze seemed to be behind most of the time). Do you know if there is a version of the results listing each runner's category available?

AFAIK it's not chip timing but your race number will be posted out to you, it's highly unlikely that it'll fill up so you probably will be able to register on the day. All proceeds are going to stroke care in the hospital.

Hi All,
I just wanted to let fellow runners know about the inaugrual running of 'The Lakes 10k' in Blessington, Co. Wicklow on the 10/09/09 (one week before the Dublin Half so should be a good training run!). This will be a fun event for runners/joggers but with a competitive element for those who what to go for gold.
It wil be run around part of the beautiful Blessington lake on a fast, flat and scenic route and will have the following features:
Chip timing
AAI permit
Accurate measurement (Jones counter)
Bespoke Technical T-Shirt
€1200 worth of prizes
Goodie bag and more
This is a charity event also and the registration fee is €28.
ALL profits go to The Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland.
One of our club member has a child with CF hence this is our chosen charity and truely worthy of a helping hand.
In relation to the fee we realise it's at the top end but we decided early on to add features like a Technical T-shirt, chip timing, goodie bag etc. to attract runners into the event and hopefully build on this for next year. The lack or a title sponsor as of yet means costs are high. Over half of the fee is already going to the cost of the Technical T-shrit (the likes of which would cost more to buy in a shop).

Due to the logistics of ordering the technical T-shirt, people who have registered before the end of July will be guaranteed the correct size. So we would ask people who are considering to do this run to please register early.

You can register online at:
www.lakeshorestriders.com
Hope to see you there on the day. Many thanks.

Hi, yeah my mistake, it is on the Saturday the 19th of September, one week before the Dublin Half. Appologies.

Racing Flat · 19-07-2009 11:19AM

Anyone know of any races on Sat Aug 22nd? Dublin-ish, not too short, not too long

.

Thanks.

lecheile · 24-07-2009 11:38AM

This is a 5k cross country event (don't be put off - its very flat and run on grass/parkland). The race is open to all and starts at 3pm (registration will be possible on the day from 1 o'clock.)

Last year saw nearly 800 runners, joggers and walkers of all ages, complete the 5k course around the beautiful grounds of Castletown House in Celbridge, Co. Kildare. It will be a wonderful recovery run for anyone doing the Dublin Half Marathon.

Entry to the event will be by donation or by sponsorship card. To get a sponsorship card or to find out any more information contact lizmcdonnellrun@eircom.net.

Ideal for those new to running or racing and suitable for junior athletes also. Supporting cancer research, its a wonderful cause and a great day out.

A copy of the course is available here and an article here explaining the origins of the race (http://www.leinsterleader.ie/sport/Liz-McDonnell-run.3368832.jp)
