Results & photos of the Waterford Viking Marathon - Sat 27th June 2015

A total of 1887 people took part in the Waterford Viking Marathon event this year...390 in the full marathon, 624 in the half-marathon and 624 in the 6.5 mile Quarter Marathon. That represents a 3% increase in total numbers compared to 2014.



 As you can see from the chart above, the event is now beginning to mature with the numbers settling down. 2015 is almost identical to 2014 and it's very likely that 2016 will be pretty similar again.

The marathon this year however wasn't without incident with some of the lead runners going the wrong way early on die to a lack of proper stewarding. This follows on from 2013 when the course was too long due to road works and 2014 when the marathon course was short.

A total of 56 runners turned out for this 10k race in Killarney on what was was a very busy weekend of races in Kerry. This compares to 62 for the 10k last year.

Last year, a 5k was held as well and that got 52 runners which brought the total to 114. This year, there was a 5k parkrun on at the same time so a separate 5k race probably wasn't an option.

Notice...Dromcollogher 4 mile road race, Limerick - Mon 7th July 2015

The Dromcollogher Carnival 4 mile road race is coming up on Monday evening, the 6th of July at 8pm...


As a race, it may not be as high profile as say those located closer to say Limerick or Cork City but it is an event with a lot of character and a long history. The race was originally started back in the time of the original running boom in the late 70's and early 80's by Christy Brosnan and Joe Quaid of North Cork AC. The original idea was for it to be part of the Dromcollogher Carnival which has been going since the 1940's and for the race to take place on Monday evening, a tradition that survives to this day.

In it's heyday, the race used to attract some of the top runners from all over Munster even though the prizes were always modest in comparison to other races at the time. On one occasion, Liam O'Brien from Cork won the race the day after winning the National 3000m steeplechase title! The triangle shaped course started and finished in the main square of the town much to the delight of the crowds. This did however mean that the race was in fact 'slightly' longer than the advertised 4 miles ;o)

One of the other unusual features of the race at the time was that the winner received a small porcelain figurine. One of the biggest employers at that time in the town was Irish Dresden, a German company which made high quality collectable porcelain items in the town which employed over 60 people, a huge number in what was and still is a rural area.

West Limerick AC are helping out with the organisation of the race and they are putting up a cup in memory of Christy Brosnan who unfortunately has now passed away. This replaces the old cup which was named after Marky O'Shea who used to run in the local races of the late 70's and early 80's barefoot, a long time before minimalist running and Vibram Five Fingers became all the rage ;o)

Getting there.....Dromcollogher is located to the west of Charleville near the Limerick - Cork border. If you are coming from say Limerick city then the easiest way is probably to head south towards Cork and turn off at Charleville and follow the directions for Newtownshandrum, Milford and Dromcollogher. If you are travelling north from Cork then turn off at Buttevant and go via Liscarroll.


As you enter the town from the east then you should see that the road forks into two where the central square is. Take the right here, drive a few hundred metres on what is a very straight road and you will pass the start line just opposite a service station. The GAA hall where the entries will be taken is just beyond this on the left.

Notice...Coillte 10k road race, Dundrum, Tipperary - Wed 1st July 2015

This popular 10k race in coming up in the village of Dundrum, Co.Tipperary on Wednesday the 1st of July 2015. In terms of fast 10k courses, this must surely be one of the fastest in Munster if not the country.



Dundrum is a small village just 9 miles or so west of Cashel in the south of Tipperary...

Organised by Dundrum Athletic Club, this race is noted for being a flat fast course. As well of there being no hills, the course consists of multiple long straight sections rather than the more usual twists and turns. I've previewed many courses on this site but this one is really fast.


Entries......The entry fee is €15 and you can pre-enter online at Precision Timing. You can also enter on the night.

The map below shows where everything is. For spectators...note the points A, B and C. If you move between these points which are just over 100m apart you can see the athletes at approx. 0.25miles , 2.4miles, 3.2miles and again at 5.4miles.


Course Preview......The 10k course is essentially two laps of a 5k loop. A full preview of the course with maps, description, photos, etc can be seen HERE


Many races have different traditions. Some give out t-shirts, some mugs. In the case of the Coillte 10k, they give out a quality embroidered hand towel given to every finisher. and they have been doing this for over 20 years. Even on years where they had run out of towels on the night, they hand delivered them to these people in the following weeks.


The Tim Crowe Trophy is presented on the night to the first Tipperary Athlete in honour of his 24 national titles won in the early 1900s, who was from the village of Dundrum.

Notice...Killarney 10 mile race, Kerry - Sat 26th Sept 2015

One quick look at the race calendar shows a multitude of races with many being held for many different reasons. This one however is special. The objective of this race is to raise funds for a new athletics track in Killarney.


At the moment, the only athletics track in Kerry is the full size 400m track at the grounds of An RĂ­ocht AC in Castleisland. It's an excellent facility and is used for all the major track & field competitions in Kerry.

It is however a 15 mile trip from Killarney. The distance in itself isn't an issue when it's for the likes of say an occasional competition but driving children there back and forth twice a week is another issue. What is required is a local facility in Killarney that is easy for people in the town and surrounding area to access.

What is proposed is the development of a 200m micro track and a floodlit all weather pitch area which will be situated on grounds leased from the St. Brendan's Trust (St. Brendan's College Killarney).

The track will have 4 lanes and have a tartan surface. While it will be measured correctly...i.e. 200m in lane 1, the track will not be a standard 200m track like say the indoor track in Athlone IT. The gradient from lane 1 to 4 will be much reduced as the track will also be used by athletes with special needs. In terms of training however it is excellent for juveniles and adults.

One special feature will be the straight section that you can see at the top. This is about 120m long and will be properly measured, marked and certified. This will facilitate all sprint events such as say the 100m, womens 100m hurdles and mens 110m hurdles. They also have plans for a long jump area as well as a facilities for pole vault, high jump, shot putt and a throwing cage.

The initiative is being supported by three local clubs as well...Spa Muckross AC, Gneeveguilla AC and Kenmare AC...

One might ask why didn't they opt for a full size 400m track but the amount of land required and the costs involved would be in a completely different league. This new facility will suit the training needs of most of the local athletes be they seniors or juveniles.

As a project, I don't see why it couldn't be replicated elsewhere around the country? It is something a lot of other athletic clubs might consider.

So, back to the race! :o)

It is on Saturday the 26th of September with a 9am start.

The entry fee is €25 plus 1.50 process online.
For that there is the race, a medal, a dry fit top, chip timing and the usual prizes including spots.


The course takes in a loop to the north-west of the town as well as inside the park itself.


For more info and to enter, go to the race website...

 http://killarney10mile.com/index.html

From the organisers.....
KILLARNEY'S first micro-athletic running track is poised to become a reality. The facility, which will feature four lanes and an astro-turf football pitch, is to be built in the grounds of St Brendan's College. A special fundraising 10-mile road race around Killarney town is to take place on Saturday, September 26, and is expected to attract a host of elite athletes.

"People of all abilities, elite and recreational athletes, joggers and walkers are invited," said Jerh Griffin of the organising committee. "We are excited at the prospect of this race being an annual event to support the students and the community in this race as they jointly seek to create a mini style university approach to physical education in a sustainable way," added Jerh.
