Recent results of races in Waterford...July & August 2015

Just catching up on some recent results. There have been three races in West Waterford over the last few weeks and the one common feature is that the numbers seem to be down on previous years. Perhaps a sign of too many races on the calendar?

Ballymacarbry 5 mile....This 5 mile race was held on Friday the 24th of July with 165 runners turning out. This was down slightly on the 175 of 2014 which was a record year.

Full Results   Prizewinners

Rás na Rinne...This race over roughly 5.5 miles on the Ring Peninsula on Fri 7th Aug had a field of 94 runners. This is down from the 111 of 2014 and is well down on the peak of 177 back in 2009. Looking through the results for races in Waterford over the Summer, it does seem as if the harder ones like Rás na Rinne and the Marine Climb were well down in numbers while the shorter easier ones fared a lot better. Maybe an ongoing trend?

Dungarvan GSK 5 mile...This race was on Fri 21st of August and 254 turned out. This is down on the 272 of 2014 although up on the 238 of 2013.

The 9th race of 10 in the Ger Wyley Sports/SKINS Summer Series continues on Friday, the 26th of July 2013 with the Ballymacarbry 5 mile road race. Located on the R672 road between Dungarvan and Clonmel, the race which starts at 7:30pm should attract a good crowd.

From the organisers West Waterford AC......

All roads lead to Ballymacarbry next Friday evening, July 26th for the 9th race in the Ger Wyley Sports/SKINS Summer Series. This race has always proved very popular down through the years and a large crowd is expected Friday night also. We wish to sincerely thank our race sponsor Doocey’s Oriel Bar who have generously sponsored the race once again this year. Starting at 7.30 p.m., the entries will be taken in the local community centre from 6.30 p.m. After the race showers and changing will be available in the community centre and then it’s over to Doocey’s Bar for the refreshments and the prize-giving.  

With only two races left in the series, there are a number of athletes on target to complete all of the ten race programme and will receive an award for this feat courtesy of our sponsors and of course for those runners who complete 5 from the 10 races they will receive a 30 euro voucher for SKINS product at Ger Wyley Sports. Looking through the division tables for the overall series many of the divisions are very close at the moment so the Ballymac race will be a very important race for many to seal their fate on those divisional tables. The entry fee is just 5 euro (where would you get it). Thanks to all our friends in Ballymacarbry for their efforts once again this year making it possible to hold this race. The course records here are held by Pauline Lambe of Tullamore Harriers AC 29.48 set in 2010 and a brand new course record set last year 2012 by David Mc Carthy West Waterford AC 23.55  for the men.

Race notice...Ballymacarbry 5 mile road race - Fri 27th July 2012

The 9th race of 10 in the Ger Wyley Sports Summer Series continues on Friday, the 27th of July 2012 with the Ballymacarbry 5 mile road race. Located on the R672 road between Dungarvan and Clonmel, the race which starts at 7:30pm should attract a good crowd.

From the organisers West Waterford AC......

17th Annual Doocey’s Bar Ballymacarbry 5
The Ballymac event is held over a very exciting road and wood mix course. This is always a top class event held in a scenic part of the county. The prize categories include men's, ladies and juniors. Race entries will be taken at the Ballymacarbry Community hall and the entry fee is 8 euros and the presentation of prizes will take place at Doocey’s Bar.  Course Record:  Pauline Lambe Waterford AC 29.48 (2010), William Harty West Waterford AC 25.00 (1996)

Directions........from Dungarvan, take the R672 Clonmel road. From East Cork, branch off N25 at Kinsalebeg, take the R671 road through Clashmore.
From Clonmel, take the R671 south.


Entries taken at the local community hall which is easily the largest building in the village. It's about 250m from the Hall to Dooceys Bar where refreshments are available after the race before the presentation of prizes.

The start line is a few hundred metres out the side road, facing away from Dooceys Bar. You run east along the Nire Valley towards the Comeragh Mountains on a relatively flat road, roughly parallel to the River Nier. About a mile out, you pass a small bridge on the left. At about 2.5 miles, you turn left and go over a small bridge, and through a private garden, and head back west on a forest track in the Knockalisheen Woods. There is a bit of a climb here and then a drop down to the that bridge you passed earlier. Cross the bridge, and rejoin the original road, and run west to the finish line.

The forest track is only a quarter of the race, but it is the hardest part of the course. There may be a view at the high point, but you'll be too busy looking down at where your next foot step will be ;o)

Start and Finish are not quite the same point. Start is a bit east of the finish, but both are on same road.

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!
