Waterford......Results of the Ballinameela 5 - Fri 20 Aug 2010

There were in 84 finishers in the 2nd annual Ballinameela 5 Mile road race, held in on a glorious Autumn evening, in a quiet part of north-west Waterford.

This was mainly a fund-raiser for the local Ballinameela GAA club, who made a huge effort in getting out stewards at every road junction, and provided welcome refreshments at the end in the Community Centre.

There was a water station, at the junction just short of 3 miles, after which there were several sections where you were running straight into the setting-sun on the horizon. The last 50m and finish were on the GAA pitch itself.

The race had the same overall winners as 2009, however the initial course records set then, remain unbroken.

• M: Sandis Bralitis, West Waterford AC 25:11 (2009: 24:53)
• F: Corinna Walsh, West Waterford AC 31:10 (2009: 31:40)

The results are now online at the West Waterford AC site.

I've uploaded the route to MapMyRun.

Organized by West Waterford AC and Ballinameela GAA.

Limerick......Preview of the Kilteely Festival 5 mile road race - Fri 20 Aug 2010

This will be the sixth event in the Ballyhoura ACTIVE Summer Series of races.

Directions
Kilteely is in East Limerick. It’s not far from where the Bilboa 10k was held. It's on the other side of the N24 Limerick to Tipperary road …just 4km from the N24 exit to the start line so easy enough to get to even if travelling up from Cork via the main roads. There will be plenty of signage from the main roads.

The race organizer have an excellent map. Just zoom-out to see the general location.

One of the quickest ways out of Cork City on a Friday evening, would be to head up the M8 Motorway, pay the toll, and go straight to J10, at Cahir (North), and go left onto the N24.

We've received the following from update from Michael Herlihy :-

Kilteely Community Festival 5 Mile Road Race and Walk
"Next Friday 20th August at 8pm the Kilteely Festival road race and walk will take place and this year there is expected to be a large increase in numbers attending the event in East Limerick. This is the 6th event in the Ballyhoura ACTIVE Summer series of road races and walks. At each event in the series so far the numbers have been increasing and this is likely to continue at this race with the extra attraction of the festival weekend in the local community. Runners and walkers alike will also be attracted by the quiet country roads and scenic surroundings along the 5 mile course which the route will follow.
Entry to the race is on the evening of the race from 6p.m. to 7.45p.m. with a 10 Euro charge for runners and just 5 Euro for Walkers. The entries are taken near the start of the race from An Teach Community Centre, Cloverfield which is just 4km from the N24 main Limerick to Tipperary road. There will be signs from the N24 road near Pallasgreen to Cloverfield directing people unfamiliar with the area. For anyone seeking further information about the race, please contact Michael Herlihy of Ballyhoura Failte on 086 3168954 or search www.ballyhouracountry.com for the Kilteely festival road race. Alternatively email Michael on mherlihy@ballyhoura.org This road race and walk is organised in conjunction with Ballyhoura to encourage physical activity and tourism in the area so all are welcome from far and near!"

Also please note that while this race is at 8pm, the next & final race, the Liscarroll 10k will now be at the earlier time of 7.30pm

Results of the Clonmel Half-Marathon - Sun 15th Aug 2010

This was the first year of the Boston Scientific Half-Marathon in Clonmel but it seems as if didn't go as smoothly as planned. From what I have heard, the lead car took a wrong turn which resulted in the race doing 2 loops of the Clonmel town instead of 1. The end result was that the race was roughly 14.3 miles in length instead of the correct 13.1 miles.


Here is part of an e-mail that was sent to me....

I ran the half-marathon in Clonmel today. There seemed to be about 400, The start was on a good wide street. The plan was 1 loop of the town for a little over a mile then head out to the country. We ran the first loop no bother, then we came to the famous junction on the second time round, where we were supposed to turn right, however the lead car took a left and then we all had to follow, there were a few clonmel lads in the group with me and they shouted at the stewards that we should be going right. However we had to stay going.

To make matters worse there was no obvious 1mile marker, so those of us w/out garmins had no clue of pace. We came back to the junction yet again and this time we turned right, ran on a while and there she was the 2 mile mark. The garmin wearers all agreed we were at 3.2 miles instead of 2. It was the most galling feeling I’ve had in a race, pace out the door, but it was so annoying to know that you had to run the extra, on such a hot day. I hoped they might move the finish line to the 12 mile mark but no hope of that, we had to run the full 14.3.

At the finish line all garmins were saying 14.3+

Apart from that it was well organised, good food,physios etc. Good hq, lots of toilets,easy parking

I suppose it's easy to be critical in hindsight when a mistake by one individual has such a large consequence when other elements of the race may have been well organised? However when you consider that the entry fee was €35 then I presume that a lot of people will feel very disappointed.


To put the €35 entry fee into context, the Mallow '10' mile costs €10, the Ballycotton '10' costs €15 and the Dungarvan '10' costs €20. Why should a race that is only 3.1 miles (.....or 4.3 miles ;o) longer cost more?

Results...I have put up a temporary set of results HERE. Leave a comment if you have trouble seeing them and I'll try a different format.

Waterford......Results of the Ardmore 5 - Fri 13th Aug 2010

There was a big turnout of 205 runners for the An Tobar Bar Ardmore 5.

This was the tenth and final race in the Ger Wyley Sports Summer Series 2010.

There were no records broken this year, but Pauline Lambe, Waterford AC came very close in 29:11, just 5 seconds off the ladies record set by Madeline Loughnane, Thurles Crokes AC last year.
Also it should be noted that Shane Mullaney, Thurles Crokes AC was delayed and did not arrive in time, but nonetheless ran down to start line, and did a fast U-turn, and joined the race maybe 3 minutes late, and considering he ran continuously for more than 5 miles, might have otherwise have finished much higher up tonight ?
Personally, I did notice that it's Harvest Time, and there were many slow tractors on the roads this evening.

Waterford......Preview of the Ardmore 5 - Fri 13th Aug 2010

On Friday evening, we have the 15th annual An Tobar Ardmore 5 at 7.30pm

This will be the tenth and final race in the Ger Wyley Summer Series 2010.

Armore is a coastal village in West Waterford, and is a popular holiday destination. It can be reached via the R673 road, which links with the N25 road at two separate points.
Entry fee €8. An unusual feature of this race is that prizes will be awarded to the first man and first lady in each star sign.

"At West Waterford AC we like to spread around the prizes as much as possible and so this race has a different prize policy to other races. Prizes will be awarded to the top three male and female athletes and after that prizes will be awarded to the first male and female athletes in each of the star signs. When registering for the race, all athletes will be asked to declare their star sign and when the results are made out, the first female and male in each of the star signs will get a prize."

The course is about 1.5 laps of a triangular circuit. It's relatively flat, and one of the easier races in the series. It includes a small loop through the town, and passes near the Round Tower.

In 2009 this race attracted 238 runners, up from 198 in 2008.
Midleton AC are organizing a bus this year.

Registration and some parking available at the Ardmore GAA grounds, which is about half-ways between Ardmore and the Start line.
Note: The start line is further again away from the GAA grounds, so please be sure to arrive early.
See MapMyRun by John Desmond.

Teas, soup and sandwiches and prizes-giving will be the large rear room of the An Tobar Bar, in the town centre.

Safety announcement :-

• No Headphones / iPods !

Waterford...Results of the Ballymacarbry 5 - Fri 30 July 2010

On Friday evening in Ballymacarbry, 163 runners completed the Doocey's Bar Ballymacarbry 5, in almost ideal weather. This was the ninth race in the Ger Wyley Sports Summer Series 2010.

Registration was at the excellent Ballymacarbry Community Centre.
The first half of this race was on a side-road off the R671. At about half-way, you turned left, over a small narrow bridge, past a small cottage, and onto woodland trails, and a gentle climb. Just before 4 miles, we crossed another bridge and rejoined the road.
You'd have a good view from 3 to 4 miles, except that you'd be watching every step you make on the rough terrain!
(MapMyRun)
Results and prize giving were at the Doocey's Bar, where we could also catch some highlights of the IAAF European Championships at Barcelona.

Pauline Lambe was the first lady home, in a time of 29:48, beating the previous course record set by Sinead Crotty, by two seconds!
