Notice...Beaufort 10k road race, Kerry - Thurs 1st Jan 2015

The annual Beaufort 10k road race is coming up in Co.Kerry on Thursday the 1st of January at 12 noon. This race is organised by the Star of the Laune AC and is always a popular one with runners.

The entry fee is €15 and this include a dry-fit t-shirt.

There is also a bonus for breaking the course record of 29:45 set by John Lenihan. 

 
Beaufort is about 5 miles west of Killarney. Look for the signpost on the N72 Killarney - Killorglin road.

Race HQ is at Beaufort Community Hall which is at the western side of Beaufort.

As for the course itself, there are a number of minor pulls but nothing of consequence. The first and last mile are largely flat while the rest of the course varies between 30 and 40m above sea level.

The view below shows the junction near the one mile mark with the Reeks in the distance visible for most of the race.

It's probably best described as a traditional club organised 10k race. No better way to kick off the year.

Kerry...Results of the Beaufort 10k - Fri 1st Jan 2010

It looks as if the road race went ahead in Beaufort despite the low temperatures. By all acconts, the course was mainly clear of any ice. The results are shown below with a race report from Donal O'Donoghue...

The 22nd annual Beaufort 10k, organized by Star of the Laune AC, took place today, Friday the 1st of January.
After many events were cancelled at Christmas, this was a last chance to get in a competitive race over the holiday period.

Last year's event was at a chilly 6C. This year, New Year's Day forecasts differed, but eventually on the day, it was *minus* 2C, but calm, dry and slightly overcast.
There was the appearance of frost on every field and hedgerow, but the most important thing was that the roads themselves were virtually ice free. None the less, warnings were given at the start, to exercise due care.

84 people finished the race this year, which was down somewhat on the 98 that competed last year.
However I believe it was due more to nationwide driving-conditions, rather than fear of the cold on the course itself. Despite this, there were runners from as far away as Dublin and even France & Slovakia!

The course itself was over 10k, on very quiet roads, and marked in metric at each kilometre. It started started outside the Beaufort Garda Station, and ending outside the Community Centre. There was only one real icy patch in the last kilometre, which was clearly marked out by traffic cones. There was a water station at 5k, but given the very cold temperatures, many declined ;o)
Unlike last year, there was no severe wind on the course. However there were very few onlookers.

The local Community Centre was the hub of activity, hosting registration and some much appreciated refreshments and prize-giving. As an indication of the very cold temperatures, the pipes feeding the kitchen were frozen, and locals had to bring buckets of water, to make hot tea!

All runners received a commemorative tee-shirt, and all finishers received pint of Milk from Lee Strand Co-Op.

The Charles O'Shea Memorial Cup was awarded to the overall finisher, Ciaran O'Lionaird of Leevale AC, who finished streets ahead, in a time of 30:15, which is an amazing 4:52/mile -- despite the arctic temperatures!
This performance makes him the 2nd fastest overall finisher in the 22 races.
In second place was Cian Murphy of Iveragh AC, despite being faster than his winning time in 2009.

Lizzie Lee, was the first lady home, finishing 8th overall, nearly 4 minutes ahead of last year's winner, making it a double for Leevale AC. Gneeveguilla AC had the largest club entry, and took many prizes. Race organizer Mike Mangan led the Star of the Laune AC, taking 23rd position. John Walshe of Ballycotton Running Promotions was also on hand to take entries and produce some prompt results.

There were prizes in many categories, including a special category for local people from Beaufort, and even a special prize for Garda Enda who supervised!

It was announced that Star of the Laune AC will be holding their annual Summer race at Kilgobnet on the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Kerry...Preview of the Beaufort 10km Road Race - Fri 1st Jan 2009 (2pm)

This 10 km road race take place in the small village of Beaufort which is just a few kms to the West of Killarney. The numbers are usually pretty small yet by all accounts, it is supposed to be a really nice race. The route is along nice quiet country roads with the mighty MacGillcuddys Reeks providing a backdrop to the south.

How to get there........if you are coming from the Cork direction, take the relief road around Killarney and take the N72 for Killorglin. After Fossa, pass the turn off left for Gap of Dunloe and take the next left.

See this link for a map.

Race Report.....by Donal O'Donoghue
"I made it to the Beaufort 10k race today, the first of 2009 in the south-west.
There were 98 people in total, including a few familiar faces from Cork, and John Walshe did the results.
The day started dull and overcast, but as soon as I passed over the Cork-Kerry border, the sun came out, and the road widened.
This must be yet another case of John Walshe bringing the good weather with him!

Registration was in the Community Centre. An unusual feature - there were no official bibs. Numbers were written down on sticky labels, as people entered. Maybe I could suggest that they recycle bibs from other races, just like the Rising Sun "Straight Mile" ?

The race start was by the yellow "T Junction" side, outside the Garda Station.
We headed west, passing the Community Centre.
Just after 1km, we took a left turn at the Grotto, followed by a right just before the 2km mark, and passed the primary school. The remainder of the route was clockwise leading back to the Community Centre.
There were several markers at the kilometre, but I didn't see all of them. At about 5km, there was a water station. Although I feel these are less needed in cold weather, judging by the number of dropped cups, at least half the field must have used it. There was a bit of a short hill about 6km. At about 7km, there was a short but severe head wind. Very much like the start of the 5 mile race in Bandon last Sunday.

Everybody received one pint (568 ml !) of Milk from Lee Strand Co-Op Creamery, at the finish line.
There were tea and sandwiches in the Community Hall. The route showed a view of the Kerry Mountains to the South. There was a big contrast in old long-abandoned, ivy covered small houses of our forefathers, side-by side with some very fine new houses. It would be a nice place to visit on a good Summer's day.

There was a decent finisher's plaque for all.
It resembles a silver-effect plate, with a gold rim, and a label "Charles O'Shea, 10km 1989-2009".
Complete with a plastic stand for mounting on one's mantelpiece.

While waiting for the results, I was talking to Brendan Joy, the MJ winner, who did it in 39:06. He told me he had just finished climbing Mangerton Mountain, and rowing is his main sport. He'll be very good if he keeps at it.

Late in the prize-giving, they decided to also give 3rd place prizes in the Ladies veteran categories.
So, there's a prize out there somewhere for Mary Murphy, St Finbarr's AC, who left before this was announced.
Mary Toher also won in the F50 category.

On my return to the car, there was a flyer on the windscreen for the:
Clare Burren Marathon Challenge - Sat 23 May 2009 at 09:00 - Full / Half / Mini Marathon - Walk or Jog.
www.clareburrenmarathonchallenge.com - *pre-entry* before 10 May

I've been thinking, maybe some car-pooling arrangement might be useful on these distant races ?
Most times, it's just me in my car, travelling the same route that many other follow.
I could bring 2 or 3 more people with me...........Donal O'Donoghue "
