    Looks like the registration has opened for this at http://www.dunboynerun.com/

    This and the Operation Transformation 5K were my favourite races last year.

    Numbers/ Chips can be collected at the Community Centre from 12:30. Note that the start is approx 1km from the Community Centre so please leave time to get to the start. Race starts at 15:00.

    Juvenile races start at 14:00 with U12 running 800m and U15 running 1500m. Medals for all finishers in juvenile races, €2 entry on the line.

    Where are the results from previous years? That bugs the **** out of me, what is the problem with having easy access to results archive, are they a state secret or something?

    Are you thinking of taking down the big man tomorrow?

    On a more serious note Joe Sweeney could get the course record of 18.08 tomorrow if the weather is nice.

    Weather looks like it'll be perfect so he may well do it. As for me, my goal lies 3 weeks time in the phoenix park so this will just be an exercise in hold-on-ability.

    Id be shocked if he did-this course isnt as fast as the old one. The dual carriageway section takes the stuffing outta ya, especially if you go into the red on the first mile like many seem to do.

    The race starts at 3, it will take you around 10 minutes to walk up from the community centre, plus say 10 minutes to register (in case there's a last minute queue).

    I'd say if you get to the community centre by half two you will make it, but I wouldn't leave it any later. Plus you'll need to leave time for parking and walking to the community centre.

    This is a great race, you don't want to miss it!

    By god it was hot out there. Well done to all concerned as usual, right down to the goodie bag, and the food in the centre.
    Only gripe was there should have been a few more water stations. Having said that, my first D4 about 10 years ago, had sleet and hailstones in the kisser for 2 miles !!

    The sponsorship deal Dunboyne AC have with the Irish Independent precludes them from publishing the results anywhere else before they are published in print tomorrow.

    wow, heat must have really played havoc with times today if Sweeney only won in 20.10, is that correct? Would have expected at least a minute quicker (and the rest) from him.
