    Half marathon in Bohermeen looks very interesting, at last a longish distance event with limited travel!!!! And given how well these guys do in terms of hosting the 5K and 5 miler it should be good. Have you any idea of the route, costs etc...?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,477 ✭✭✭Peckham


    That half marathon is perfect for me in terms of scheduling. Saves me a trip up north!

    Has the Tara race been moved to July? It's been on in late August last couple of years.


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭umpire bat


    Dates corrected. Thanks for pointing out the error re Tara AC 5km

    Excellent, delighted to see the addition of the half marathon. I've been looking for a spring one to fit in for London preparation. Perfect timing and location.


  • Registered Users Posts: 93 ✭✭Ruarl Runner


    Is the Paddy Hyland race (Navan) moved from December to May??? I know it was postponed the last two years with the weather, is this the rationale for the change of date??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,121 ✭✭✭tang1


    Navan has there 10km on 26th of December and then a 6km race on in May, two different races.


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭umpire bat


    The weather situation went against Navan AC for the past two years with the Paddy Hyland race. They have decided to award the Paddy Hyland Cup to the first female finisher in the 16 May race.

    Please note also that the Star of the Sea AC cross country meeting will be at Greenanstown, Stamullin on Sunday 23 Sept.

    Dunshaughlin doesnt clash with any of the euro 2012 games, happy days :D

    Does anyone have any more info or links to details of the 10k on the 26th in Navan ?

    I will be in Navan over Christmas this year and I heard there was one on a few months back but couldn't find any details through Google or on the Navan AC Website besides results from old races.

    Any ideas of routes, registration etc :confused:

    Entry is on Run Ireland for this, very little info for ya on it apart from that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 172 ✭✭umpire bat


    Disregard the runireland link. Navan Athletic Club informed the Meath Board November meeting that they will NOT be staging the 10km on 26 Dec 2011 and that the Paddy Hyland Cup will now be awarded to first female in their 8km race being staged in May.

    The half marathon is peferct timing for me and at €20 entry fee its a steal


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,049 ✭✭✭Brianderunner


    Dunshaughlin 10k is a week earlier in those dates now. Is this correct? Now it does clash with Euro 2012 :mad:

    Agreed, other events should take heed of this, 20 euro is loads for a race.


  • Registered Users Posts: 80 ✭✭firemouth


    delighted to see a half marathon close to where i live!!Bohermeen always run a great event,love all the homemade cakes and buns afterwards!!20euros is unbelievable value!fair play to yez Bohermeen!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,477 ✭✭✭Peckham


    Anyone have an insight into how hilly or otherwise the half marathon course is? According to the website:
    The course for the titled Meath Spring half marathon will take in two fast laps starting on the Newline and running left hand through Ongenstown towards Navan Athboy road towards Navan and left on the Boyerstown road. The course is designed to help runners from the elite to fun runner to get a decent time and also will give all runners a new half marathon challenge right on their door step.
