A look at the Three Counties Race Series

The annual Three Counties Race Series is organised by Carrick Road Runners and has been going for over 10 years. There are currently 4 races in the series and they are held in Tipperary, Waterford and Kilkenny.

The 2019 series finished up recently and this is what the numbers for each race looks like...

The numbers for the Piltown 10k this year were well up which helped offset the drop in numbers for the Faugheen 5k and Portlaw 5 mile.

If we look at the current four races in the series and work out an average for them over the years, this is the chart we get...

As can be seen, there was a big drop from 2013 to 2017 but it seems to have stabilised since then.

All the results of the races in the series for 2019 can be found on the Carrick Road Runners website.
