Despite the wet and windy weather, the numbers were up for this years Kingdom Come 10 mile and 5 k road race. As can be seen below, the 10 mile numbers at 220 were the second highest to date.
What's even more remarkable was how well the race did despite the sheer number of races that were clashing with it. There were other 10 milers on the same day in Dromina, Co Cork, Kilnaboy in Co Clare and Killea in Co Tipperary and that's not even counting the glut of other races in Munster.
It was probably the busiest day of 2019 so far for races in Munster.

ReplyDeleteEverything from the car parking, number pick up, stewarding along the course, hot food, showers on site & the super T.V. draw for every runner! !
But what topped this event off for me was the warm welcome we received this is one very well ran club event. Well done An Riocht see you in 2020.
