RACE ENTRY FEE STAYS AT 5 EURO-"NOW WHERE WOULD YOU GET IT."

A few years ago  the club reduced its race entry fee to 5 euro and the results was increased numbers participating in our events, this year once again indeed for the fourth year in succession we have decided to continue this trend with a 5 euro entry fee for club organised races in the series when you enter online.

This you will agree is brilliant value and is not repeated by any other race series anywhere taking into consideration also that our races are chipped timed with no added cost to you the runner.( where else now would you get that value). Please note if you wait to enter any of the series races until the night of the race you will pay 8 euro for our club organised events, so it basically pays to pre enter for the 5 euro.

The overall prize fund for the series will remain the same as last year and this is achievable with thanks to the generosity of our great sponsors. We will continue with the same prize fund for this year also. As a non-profit making club which has always strived to cater for all levels of participants and promoted itself as having events organised for runners by runners, we know from the feedback that runners appreciated the effort’s being made by our club in this matter and participants from far and near came and supported our events . We're really looking forward to seeing runners of all standards back again this coming summer series. But remember save yourself money and get your online race entry in.

CAN YOU COMPLETE SIX FROM ELEVEN.?

We will continue this year with the rewards system where any runner that completes 6 out of the 11 races will once again qualify for a SKINS voucher redeemable at Ger Wyley’s Sports to the value of €30. Best value summer series in the country.
