From West Waterford AC........It's that time of year again when we turn our attention to the summer series which we are doing now for the 24th time. Many of the races have remained the same for much of these 24 years with some new ones added as time has elapsed, As we know with many things you can't sit still and you have to change and evolve and update as time goes by to help freshen things up as we go along. With that said we are always trying to loom at new ideas while always trying to keep our core traditional events unchanged as much a possible for as we all know tradition is important.
Last year as you all know we changed our overall series sponsor to Intersport Elverys bringing together a power house sports retail name in the industry in Ireland along with an athletics house hold brand in Asics. So looking forward the series more or less keeps the same format, we will include a brand new race bringing the total of events now to 12, the only road racing series in the country with this many races. We are introducing a brand new race The Ballinameela 5k which will slot in as the final race in the series for 2018, this event we are very excited about with a brilliant community spirit out in Ballinameela and a super fast course also it will round off the event in great style.
The 12 race program will be held over the summer months from April to August with a diverse programme of events which holds something in it for everyone, both distance and terrain wise. We will have some other slight changes also this year with Clashmore changing to a new 5k course, Ras Na Rinne will also see a change to the Cunnigar leg of the course.
We are looking forward to meeting all our old friends throughout the summer months and hopeful we make also make many new acquaintances along the way as well.
