Notice: Moycarkey Coolcroo 5km road race, Tipperary - Fri 13th June 2025

The Moycarkey Coolcroo AC 5km road race in Littleton, Co Tipperary is coming up on Friday the 13th of June 2025.

Online entries HERE

The online entry fee is €15. The race HQ is at the Littleton Community Centre in Littleton. Entries will also be taken on the night. The race starts at 7:30pm.

From Moycarkey Coolcroo AC.... The 5K in Tipperary You Can’t Miss! Speed, atmosphere, and top-class course — this is a 5K you don’t want to miss. A fast, flat course, ideal race conditions and a warm welcome make it the perfect event for PB chasers and first-timers alike!

As can be seen from the map below, the village of Littleton is just off the M8 motorway so it's easy to get to.

...

The 5k course... The start line is about 1.5kms to the north-east of Littleton so allow time to get there from the village.

The race starts on the old N8 road from Cork to Dublin. Since the opening of the motorway, it is now a wide and reasonably quiet road.

The width of the road and the fact that it's pretty much dead straight will allow the field to thin out nicely in the first mile / 1.5kms.

Once the runners enter Littleton, they take the second left and go onto quiet rural roads. After two more junctions, the course loops around returns to Littleton.

The variation in elevation for the 5k course is no more than 10m so it should be a fast course.

Big jump in numbers for the 2025 Limerick Marathon event...

The 2025 edition of the Great Limerick Run was held on Sunday 4th of May and it saw a  remarkable jump in numbers. Between all the different events, approximately 14,000 people took part.

If you factor in accommodation, meals and drinks, it's a big boost to the hospitality sector in the city.

Marathon... The full marathon saw 1554 participants cross the finish line, a jump of 34% on the figure for 2024.

While it might be normal to see a small number jump 34%, it's remarkable to see a well established race with over 1000 runners jump  by that much.

Half-Marathon... The Half was even more impressive with 4586 finishers, a jump of 40%!

With those kind of numbers, Limerick is now one of the premier half-marathons in the country.

6-Mile... The numbers for the 6-mile are always amazing and are a real cash cow for an event like this. This year, it had 7441 finishers, a jump of 24% on last year.

There was also a marathon relay event with 129 teams which added another few hundred to the numbers.

In conclusion... It's my understanding that the Great Limerick Run is organised by a commercial company on behalf of Limerick City Council. Looking at the numbers, they're doing a great job of attracting visitors to the Treaty City.

Notice: Run Kilkee Half-Marathon & 10k - Sat 26th July 2025

The popular Run Kilkee Half-Marathon & 10k is coming up this year on Saturday 26th July 2025.

Info and entries here... https://runkilkee.ie/

This is the largest half-marathon in Co Clare and as can be see from the chart below, both the 10k and half are increasing in popularity as more people return year after year and more people find out about the event.

Kilkee is located in the south-west of Co Clare at the foot of the Loop Head peninsula. Both the 10k and Half-Marathon courses are out and back courses and hug the coastline offering some spectacular views.

Even though the participants are running on the same section of road on the way back, they arere facing a different direction which offers different views.

It must be up there as one of the most scenic events on the running calendar. It just needs a bit of sunshine to make it a remarkable outing.

The advantage of an event like this is that with so many runners and traffic management in place, there is no need to worry about cars on the course.

An amazing spot for a race.

The Half-Marathon starts at 9am while the 10k starts at 12:30pm.

Notice: Colligan Woods 5-mile nr Dungarvan - Sun 12th Jan 2025

West Waterford AC are organising a 5-mile race in Colligan Woods to the NW of Dungarvan on Sunday 12th January 2025 starting at 12 noon.

Enter here... https://eventmaster.ie/event/r4AriPmS9y

From West Waterford AC... A36th ANNUAL KIELY MONUMENTAL COLLIGAN CUP ON SUNDAY 12TH JANUARY

Date for the diary and one of the most popular events on our calendar is the 36th annual Kiely Monumental Colligan Cup which will be held on Sunday 12th January.The Juvenile race starts at 11.00 pm and the Senior event will be at 12 noon. The senior race is over the usual 5 miles Colligan wood circuit and Juveniles will have a single 1-mile circuit to run.

The Colligan cup is a unique event in that it is run on a handicap basis where you simply predict your finishing time over a 5 mile run, with the winner being the person who is nearest to that predicted time. This makes the race open to all no matter what your standard is, everyone has the same chance of taking the title.

Now in its 36th year we would like to thank sincerely our sponsor for all of those 36 years David Kiely of Kiely Monumental for his on-going support for the local running club West Waterford AC. So for a great fun event on the yearly running calendar Colligan is where you need to be come Sunday 12th January.

HOW COLLIGAN CUP TIMING SYSTEM WORKS.

The race timing system itself will remain the same as the one Victor Mullins devised 36 years ago. The following is how the handicap timing system works, the run begins when the clock starts with the time of the slowest predicted runner’s time, say 60 minutes. As the clock counts backwards down to zero every runner begins when his or her predicted time shows up on the clock. 

The runner with the fastest predicted time will be the last runner to start the race. The winner of the Colligan Cup is the runner who is the first person to cross the finish line after the clock reaches zero-it is that simple. All you have to do is get your prediction right. Remember, no watches allowed or music head phones. So if you would like to become part of local athletics history and have your name inscribed on the now famous Colligan plaque which was erected in the wood some years ago by the race sponsor David Kiely of Kiely Monumental come along next Sunday. 

We must also mention and thank Coillte for their permission and help in letting us hold the race. We urge all going to Colligan on Sunday to please allow plenty of time as parking will be restricted on the road to one side. Please do not park where your car might obstruct the flow of traffic or interfere with the runners. This is a great family event with something for everyone. The Colligan Cup itself will be awarded to the winner of the senior race, while the Shield will be awarded to the first lady finisher. The Victor Mullins cup will be awarded to the 1st runner on the right side of the clock who is running the event for the very first time. The Juvenile Shield will be presented to the Juvenile winner. 

The junior race is organized by the club’s juvenile section over one lap of the Colligan circuit and it gets under way at 11AM sharp and this too is a guess your time handicap event. The senior race will start at 12 noon. All are welcome to participate.

Jump in numbers for the Waterford Half-Marathon but was the course short??? - 30th Nov 2024

The annual Waterford Half-Marathon organised by Waterford AC was held on Saturday 30th Nov 2024 on what turned out to be a windy, misty but mild morning. This is in marked contract to last year which was bitterly cold.

Numbers... There was a total of 2162 finishers this year, a jump of just over 22%. This makes it the 9th largest half-marathon in Ireland for 2024 and it's certainly the largest half in the south-east.

It's also worth noting that it is far bigger than the Viking Half-Marathon which takes place in late June every year. Not sure why?

Why the big jump this year? In 2023, the organisers didn't open the entries until the start of 3rd of October, just two months before race day on . A lot of people had been wondering if the race was going ahead at all and by the time the entries opened, many people had made other plans. Even by the end of November 2023, they were still taking entries.

The end result was a 6.7% drop in numbers from 2022.

For the 2024 race, thing couldn't have been more different. The club opened entries on the 6th of December 2023, just 3 days after the 2023 race. There was no doubt about the 2024 race going ahead and people had most  of 2024 to enter. It sold out on the 12th of November and the jump in numbers can be seen in the chart above. It was in fact the 4th highest ever in terms of numbers for this event.

Was the course short??? ... At least three different people told me that the course was short. One said that they got 12.95 miles on their GPS watch for the course rather than just over 13.1 miles. They felt that the course was about 320 metres too short.

It's worth noting that there was an out and back section on the course as well as some obstructions from evergreen trees in places which can play havoc with GPS. Still though, there is still a valid concern about how accurate the course was.

Waterford AC had this route map online for the 2024 race...

You'll notice that there is a reasonable out and back section. I pass this point while I was cycling from the race start to Dungarvan and I took this photo by chance...

The photo shows the start of the out and back section. Was the error here? Was it somewhere else?

It seems to have the only glitch on what was a good event.

From West Waterford AC...  "30TH ANNUAL FORDES DAYBREAK WINTER LEAGUE

Event Description: The Fordes Daybreak Winter League will once again take place from the Sports Centre, Quanns Dungarvan for 11 Wednesday nights commencing on Wed 13th November.  We will continue for 6 nights before Christmas bringing  us up to Wednesday 18th December.

After Christmas we will return  on THURSDAY the 2nd January and revert back to Wednesday from Wed. 8th for  4 nights with our final night on the 29th January.

Number pick up will take place at the Sports Centre Dungarvan on Wednesday 6th November at 6.30pm or on first night of the league ON THE 13TH NOVEMBER from 6.15pm.

e hope you will join us again for this annual event and if you haven't been with us before we guarantee you won't be disappointed.  It's an 11 week challenge that can maintain your fitness over the winter and start 2025 on a high note.

As usual there are 2 options to chose from.  The first is the "long" route which is 5.2 miles while the second choice is the "short" route and the distance here is approx 2.5 miles.  Both routes start and finish at the Sports Centre, Quanns.  There are a few very important rules and they are not optional.

No High Vis, No Run.  We will not allow any runner take part who doesnt wear a high vis.  No exceptions.  It has to be a high vis not a lumionous tshirt.

No watches allowed or No Headphones.  This is a very strict rule of this event. We will publish your time asap after the run. Your aim each week will be to run the time you ran the week before or if possible a little faster.  IF YOU WEAR A WATCH YOUR TIME WILL NOT BE RECORDED.

Stewards must be obeyed at all times.  Your participation in this event is an indicator of your compliance with this rule.

Rules of the road apply. You must run on the footpath at all times when available and only cross the road at designated points where stewards will direct you.

YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE LEAGUE INDICATES THAT YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE ABOVE RULES

Our mission is to introduce as many people as possible to running/jogging.  We don't care how fast or slow you are we just want you to enjoy the league and see the benefits of running for yourself.
