Race Notice...Killarney Half-Marathon, Maxi-Marathon and 10k races - Sat 14th July 2012

There has been a major change to the usual 15 mile Maxi-Marathon in Killarney this year in that it now includes a Half-Marathon which is bound to prove popular as well as a 10k.

Date: Saturday 14th July 2012

The 15 mile Maxi-Marathon and the 13.1 mile Half-Marathon will start at 8:00am near Moll's Gap on the Kenmare road. The shorter 10k race will start near Muckross House in the park at 8:30am.

Entry for each race includes a technical running top.

Registration closes on Monday 2nd July 2012. A registration pack will be sent out in the post 1 week before the race.

Maxi/Half Course description.......The race starts at about 800 feet above sea level near Moll's Gap. Initially it's flat but as you approach the Gap itself, the road starts to drop and you have a stunning view across to the Macgillycuddy's Reeks and the highest mountains in Ireland.

From here the road continues to drop as you run with lakes and mountains as a backdrop for the race..... Past Lady's View......Looking down on the Upper Lakes......and eventually you turn off into Killarney National Park and on to the finishing line near Muckross House...

The video clip below gives a feel for what the course looks like...

Race Notice...Dromana 5 mile road race - Fri 22nd June 2012

The 20th Annual Dromana 5 mile road race takes place this coming Friday, June 22nd at 8 pm in West Waterford. The race will start in the village of Villierstown and finish in the town of Cappoquin.

The Dungarvan Leader Dromana 5 is organised by West Waterford AC and is the 7th race of 10 in the Ger Wyley Sports/Nike summer series. This is the last opportunity to enter this race series as entries close on Friday evening in Dromana.

Please note that this is a point to point race. A bus will depart Cappoquin from the GAA club grounds at 7 pm sharp to bring runners to Villierstown where the entries will be taken in the local community hall.

The entry fee is €8. Presentation of prizes is at Danny Flynn's Bar of Cappoquin.
There is a bonus of €100 to anyone breaking the course record...........Course record: Pauline Lambe 29.20 (2010) , John Treacy 23.49 (1999) .

Course....The race starts in the village of Villerstown itself. Initially, the going is easy but soon, the road begins to climb through a wooded section until it reaches the highest point around the 1.5 mile mark. After that, it drops down on the other side and then, it's reasonably flat for most of the way until there is a pull up to the finish line in Cappoquin.

One of the most unusual features of the course is of course Dromana Gate......

Described as follows........"A Hindu Gothic gate dating from around 1830. The gate was originally built from wood and papier mache to greet the owner of the Dromana Estate, Henry Villiers-Stuart and his wife, Theresia Pauline Ott of Vienna, on returning from their honeymoon in 1826. The couple were so enchanted with the gate it was reconstructed in stone in later years.

The gate structure was restored by the Irish Georgian Society in the 1960s and again by the Waterford County Council in 1990. The bridge over the Finisk River was replaced in 1971."

Photos of it HERE

The 5 mile course is also famous for the fact that it was the route used by the Irish Olympic Silver medalist John Treacy in his youth when he used to run from school in Cappoquin to his home in Villierstown. Those early years of training would pay off with an Olympic Silver medal in 1984 by finishing second in the Marathon.

Overall.......A road race in a lovely scenic and quiet part of West Waterford. Nice quiet country roads with plenty of flat fast sections.

The 6th race in the Ger Wyley Sports Summer Series is coming up on Friday, the 15th of June with the Rás na Rinne in West Waterford.

Located just south of Dungarvan in West Waterford, the Gaeltacht area of An Rinn (Ring) is the location for the annual Rás na Rinne.

Directions...Just to the south of Dungarvan on the N25 Cork road near the bridge over the River Brickey, look for the turn off east (R674)  for An Rinn. Just after a bad bend, make sure you take the left at the next Y junction. Pretty soon, you'll see the local Garda station...

The start and finish of the race is on this small road at the west side of the station (You can see the Colaiste Na Rinne in the distance). Entries for the race will be taken at Halla Phobail na Rinne which is about 200 metres down the main road on the right.

Pauline Lambe Tullamore Harriers AC 35.14 (2009)

The course.......The race starts and finishes at the side of the Garda station. The easiest way to describe the course is that it is downhill for the first 1.2 miles, then roughly 3 miles off road on the Cunnigar Spit that goes out across Dungarvan Harbour and then 1.2 miles of uphill running to the finish line. The race course is roughly 5.4 miles in length.

Just before the descent, you can see the spit stretching across the harbour.

Race notice...Bilboa 10k road race - Fri 15th June 2012

The Ger Mullane Memorial 10km road race is coming up in the village of Bilboa in East Limerick on Friday, the 15th of June at 8pm. This is the 2nd race of 11 in the Ballyhoura ACTIVE Race Series.

Directions.......The easiest way to get there is to drive as far as Pallasgreen on the N24 Limerick to Tipperary road and turn off......(signposted for Cappamore and Doon at the Red Deer pub). The race organisers should have signs here as well.

Just keep going straight. Eventually you come to a crossroads on another main road (R505)....

Cappamore is to the left and Doon is to the right. You drive straight on.

Eventually, you come to the Bilboa AC grounds...(note the finish line mark!)

Race details.....The entry fee for the race is €10. There are prizes for the top 3 men and women with prizes for the top two in each age category. The total prize fund is roughly €800. Post race, there are showers with refreshments provided afterwards before the prize giving.

The contact name and number for the race is John Berkery (086 206 4145) if you have any other queries.

Course......The race course can essentially be broken up into two halves with the first section being flat and the second section having hills.

 The start line is about 200 metres away from the sports grounds. The first 3.5 miles or so are very flat and should be very fast. There are a number of drags in the section between roughly 3.5 miles to roughly the 5.4 mile mark which is the highest point on the course. After that, it's downhill to the finish.

Bridge over Bilboa River with nice quiet country roads...

Crossroads near the 4 mile mark...

Overall........a reasonably fast course on nice quiet country roads. With it's ease of access and proximity to Limerick City, it should attract a good crowd.
