Joe Gough breaks National Over 70 record at Coillte 10k Road Race in Dundrum

PJ Trait representing race sponsors Coillte presenting Joe Gough West Waterford with his Over 70 Men’s prize at the recent Coillte 10k road race in Dundrum.

At the start of July 2023, Joe Gough of West Waterford AC finished first in the M70 category at the Coillte 10k in Dundrum, Co Tipperary with a time of 41:10. This was a new national record. See the report from Dundrum AC below...

From Dundrum AC... At the recent Coillte 10K road race in Dundrum, West Waterford athlete Joe Gough set a new National Over 70 years men’s record for the 10km distance. The popular Waterford man broke the old National record by a whopping 78 seconds.

Joe who has won multiple European and World titles over the years is a regular visitor to Dundrum. His super run and finish time of 41 minutes and 10 seconds in the Coillte 10k saw him break the National 10K road record of 42 minutes 28 seconds which was held by Martin Kerr from the Milford club in Donegal for the classic distance.

Joe of course then also broke the Over 70 years men’s Dundrum course record of 44 minutes and 4 seconds which was set by Andrew Jeyes from the Ivanhoe club in the UK in 2018.The Dundrum club are delighted for Joe who is a Gentleman of the sport and has time for everybody at all the race meets.

Joe’s new record means that the popular Dundrum course now has three National Records to its name with Lizzie Lee Leevale athletic club in Cork O/40 time of 33:45 and Angela McCann’s Clonmel athletic club in Tipperary O/50 time of 37:21 both set in 2021 along with Joe this year a testament to the speed of the course.

Thanks, must be given to Billy Purcell who done the due measurement of the course in May of this year. Also, to Niall O’Sullivan of Premier Timing Systems who timed the race on the night. Tipperary County Council and local Councillors also must be thanked for keeping the road upgraded over the past 38 years of the running of the event.

Joe Gough West Waterford number 257 on his way to setting a new National Over 70 Men’s record time of 41 minutes and 10 seconds at the recent Coillte 10km road race in Dundrum.

Please note this event is expected to sell out fast.

This fantastic amenity opened officially in 2017 and has already experienced visitors from all over the country and beyond. Users are amazed by this 47 km spectacular off-road cycling and walking trail along an old railway line between Waterford and Dungarvan.

Please note this is a point to point race starting at the Coachhouse Kilmacthomas and finishing near Ballinroad, Dungarvan. Entry fee includes bus from Ballinroad to the start line in Kilmacthomas.

As the map shows below, the half-marathon starts near Kilmacthomas and finishes in Dungarvan.

As it was an old railway line, the course is very slightly downhill overall. The old railway line at Kilmacthomas is about 60-metres above sea level while Dungarvan is just above sea level. 

The course is certainly a LOT flatter than the average race on public roads.

Waterford Viking Marathon event numbers jump 49% in 2023

The annual Waterford Viking Marathon event was held on Sunday 25th June 2023 with a total of 2066 people taking part over the three events. That represents a 49% increase on the overall numbers for 2022 and follows a general increase in race numbers post pandemic.

Marathon... The marathon this year saw a 39% increase in numbers and moved ahead of the pre-pandemic numbers for 2019. It'll be a challenge for the marathon numbers to get back to the numbers seen in the 2013-2017 time period.

Half-Marathon... This saw a 30% jump in numbers. It still has some way to go to get back to 1000+.

Quarter-Marathon... This one saw the strongest growth with an 84% jump in numbers. It'll be interesting to see if the quarter becomes the largest event in the years ahead. It certainly seems to be heading that way.

Gender breakdown... In terms of the gender breakdown per event, the shorter events had a higher percentage of women taking part. The percentage of women in the three events was as follows... Marathon (20%), Half-Marathon (34%) and Quarter-Marathon (58%).

Press Release: Records to break at Coillte 10k Road Race ...by Dundrum AC

Records to break at Coillte 10k Road Race

Wednesday the 5th of July at 8pm the Coillte 10k Road Race in Dundrum Co Tipperary will
be run for the 38th consecutive year by the local Dundrum Club. The race which started out as
part of a local long weekend festival which was so popular back in the eighties is still going
strong 38 years later.

This year’s official race starter is John Kelly, and it could not have been a more appropriate
choice. John been one of the founder members of the club back in 1960 and a top-class
sprinter winning County, Munster, and National titles in his day.

Race HQ is Dundrum Community Hall Eircode E34 EY28 where the club has its athletic facilities.
Race numbers can be collected there on the evening of the race. The race HQ is only 200
metres from the start and finish lines.

For an excellent guided tour of the course road by road Google the Running in Munster
Ireland Website.

For Tipperary athletes there is the added incentive of the Tim Crowe Memorial trophy (kindly
donated by Dominic Moore) for the fastest Tipperary athlete to finish the 10k.Since this trophy
was introduced in 2010 in memory of an iconic athlete who hailed from Dundrum it has been won
by Danny Smith Ballynonty five times, Christopher Bracken Thurles Crokes once, David
Mansfield Clonmel twice, Kevin Moore Dundrum three times, Sergiu Ciobanu Clonliffe Harriers
once and present holder Evan Fitzgerald Clonmel. A cracking Tipperary County scoring six if you
had all of them togged out together.

The race which also incorporates a 5K for juniors (age between13years old on day of race
and19 years or under on 31/12/2023) one lap ran with the 10k two lapper. The race has prizes
in every category from Senior to over 70 years for both men and women. With the Master
categories at the standard five-year intervals from Over 40 years plus, with a specially
Embroidered Souvenir Hand Towel for all online entrants.

This year the club has once again linked up with Niall O’Sullivan’s Premier Timing Systems
for entries and result data to manage the ever-increasing numbers of runners every year.
Entries are online via the link https://eventmaster.ie/event/w752IPySRQ. The club would
appreciate it if participants could enter at least a week or two before the race date. Early
entry gives the organizers an idea of the number of embroidered dated towels required, plus
the food requirements for the big spread afterwards. Also, it is a big help to Niall for him to
get working on his system early.

The club is delighted to have Coillte once again as our main sponsor. Dundrum is surrounded
by trees and forest trails for running and walking developed by Coillte over the years. It is
appropriate that Coillte are involved with us in the healthy sport of running. The Company’s
managed forest trails around Dundrum and indeed around the Country are a haven for people to
get out for a bit of fresh air and exercise never more appreciated than during the recent Covid
lockdown. The semi-state company has been involved in this race every year since it was set up
in 1988, which is appreciated by the Dundrum club.

The planned village of Dundrum from the old Estate era and the two-lap course make it ideal
for spectators to view the race and encourage the athletes as the race progresses. One section
of the course in the village allows viewing of the race at four different locations by moving
about one hundred meters.

The race will be run over the usual flat two lap circuit with the lap consisting of a series of
five straights where one or two records are broken every year. Tanzanian international Daniel
Gidumbanda incredible time of 29:45 course record for the 10k has stood since 1997 which is
now over a quarter of a century ago. Irish Olympian Lizzie Lee Leevale smashed the
women’s course record in 2021 when running a super 33:45 for the classic distance.
Indeed, Lizzie’s great run that year and Angela McCann Clonmel super run and time of 37:21
in the same race set two National Irish Records for Over 40 and Over 50 women respectively.
A tremendous achievement by the two women and a confirmation of the two-lapper circuit
been a fast course.
