Limerick...Results of the Ger Mullane Memorial 5k & 10k, Bilboa - Fri 17th June 2016

The big change this year was the inclusion of a 5k race in additional to the traditional 10k one. It probably took a few runners from the 10k race but probably attracted a few more that wouldn't have done the 10k anyway.

The chart below shows the breakdown in numbers. There were 107 in the 10k, down from 117 last year. 34 turned out for the new 5k which helped to boost the overall total to 141.

As you can see, there was a big drop in numbers in 2013 and it has never really recovered. With a €15 entry fee for the 10k and €10 for the 5k, perhaps the price is putting off some runners?

Tipperary...Results of the Dave Fogarty 4 mile road race - Thurs 16th June 2016

For whatever reason, the numbers were well down this year for the Dave Fogarty 4 mile road race in Thurles, Co.Tipperary. The race which is organised by Thurles Crokes AC had 102 finishers which as you can see from the chart is down on the 179 and 177 of 2012 and 2013.

Considering that Thurles has a population of 8000 people, it really should be getting more than 102 runners taking part.

Tipperary...Results of the Moyne 5k & 10k - Mon 6th June 2016

The overall numbers for this years 5k & 10k road races organised by Moyne AC were down by 35% on last year. In total, there were 176 runners between the two races, down from 273 last year.

This can be broken down as 101 in the 10k (154 in 2015) and 75 in the 5k (119 last year). The weather was fine so that wasn't a factor for the drop. It just seems to follow a recent pattern where the race numbers are down. The obvious reason is that there are too many races on the calendar but perhaps as the economy picks up, people are finding it harder to find the time? The entry fee of €15 probably didn't help either.

Still though, 176 runners for two races in a rural area of N.Tipperary isn't a bad number.

Tipperary...Results of the Deadman's 5 mile, Carrick on Suir - Fri 3rd June 2016

Despite the fine weather, the numbers were for the Deadman's 5 mile road race in Carrick on Suir were down 27% this year with 101 runners taking part. As you can see, this is pretty low in comparison to other years.

The drop in numbers is most likely due to the fact that there are so many races now on the calendar.
