    This sounds like the race I ran last autumn...... it was organised then for the carers association i think.... hq was at a gaa pitch/complex in portlaoise, with the race mainly roads around the outskirts of town..... however, as portlaoise is the home of roundabouts, we had to go through a million of these.......
    the lead car disappeared early in what was the final mile and myself and another consequently turned the 10k into about 12k:eek:
    apart from this was a well organised race, but am 50/50 whether i'll be back or not

    I ran this last year and yes, it was run for the carers association.

    It was a well run event except for the start where we had to walk from the clubhouse to the start line which was about a mile away, when we got there it had already started.

    It's run for charity, it's just a fun 10k run, no timing chiop/results so if you're going for a PB this is not the race for you.
