This is always a well organised (and tough!) 5k hosted by our neighbours in Lucan.


Expect a big gang from Le Chéile AC down this year,
so make sure you've lots of post-race tea & cakes ready for us;)

The poster says it's flat, not tough :P

If my memory is right, there's alot of twists and turns in the park section. Well organised last year and good price for a 5k too.

Lots of twists and turns some very tight turns that can really slow ya down if your looking for a quick time

Hoping to do this race, missed it last year. Just had a look at the website and it looks really professional. They seem to be putting a lot of effort into the organising this year...So looking forward to it... :rolleyes:

don't think its too slow a course at all, the park section might have a couple of turns but there are some very long sections to make up the ground. I'd say its something similar to the Mid summer 5k in Raneny.

LucanHarriers

Yes there are plenty of long sections as shels4ever says. If you visit the website www.tombyrnememorialrace.com you can see from the previous winning times that it certainly didn't seem to hold them up

Has anybody got last years garmin profile to share here

Well done to all involved with Lucan Harriers. Very good race, very well organised. I was just a little dissappointed that you could not turn off the gale force winds Very tough conditions for running but that's not something anyone can do anything about.

Others should take note, this is how a race should be run;)

I agree, a good and well-organised race, another one I'll definitely be entering again next year Didn't enjoy the wind but that's Irish weather for you. I liked the route, running through that park, and past football pitches and finishing on the track. Thanks to all involved.

Well organised race. A good army of marshalls and nice tea and biccies.
Well done Lucan Harriers. From: member of second best running club in Dublin.

Really enjoyed this today, even though I felt like I was going backwards for most of it. Only criticism I would have is that you ran out of paper plates, but the cake was finger licking good anyway:)

LucanHarriers

Hi All, Hope you enjoyed the race today despite the bluster conditions:mad:. Results can now be found on our race website www.tombyrnememorialrace.com.

Great show once again by Lucan Harriers, another fine example of a professionally organised, value for money club organised event.

I loaded pics from yesterday which are available on www.racepix365.com also set available from Peter M.

Sorry I missed it, sounds like it went well by all accounts. Injury keeping me off my running feet.
