The next race coming up in Wexford is our little 10k, details here http://kilmoreathletics.com/index.php/2012. You can book on-line or on the day. Full range of prizes for categories and teams. If are unsure you are up to running the full distance then why not enter as a walker and jog as much as you can. Our aim for our race is to give back as much as we can to the runners and if we make any profit at all then it goes back in to juvenile athletics in the area.

This is a great 10k and has it all, from a really good course that is as flat as ur gonna get for a 10k to plenty of food after and results going up quick online.....plus they always seem to get a lovely evening for it

This is going to sound like a 'mutual admiration society' now. Thanks for the nice words BB. We have to say similar about the 'Mick Murphy' race the following week-end. Same ideals as KAC, the race is put on to give as much back to the runners as well. Prizes right across the board and a great spread after as well. Put on by a bunch that are passionate about distance running.

Thanks for all the support we had a record turn out and it ran very smoothly.

Well done to Kilmore A/c on the weekend - best road race in Wexford this year? I can't think of one better. Lovely course and super finish down thru' the village. Whoever is doing your IT stuff (twitter/email info/website) is doing a great job as well thanks. Already in the calendar for 2013!

KILMOREAC

Glad you liked it uphill. Everything seemed to go good for us this year including the most important thing, the weather. Never thought we would get over the 200 mark. Our location is bad as we are down in the corner and we don't have that many athletes out running in the other races so we have to work that bit harder on promoting it. There was a great buzz afterwards in the hall as well.

Just a little confused over this one.

It's says on the flyers and Run Ireland that the race is off at 5 , but I thought I heard somewhere that the walkers were off at 5 and the runners at 5.30.
Also there is an 800M race for 8-16 year old's but there is no time start time stated for this.

Just hoping someone could clarify this. Thanks.

Hi Cooldog, no the race will start at 5pm.....there is no walk this year...there has been a walk pretty much every other year but we decided not to have it this year...of course anyone who would like to walk the race are more than welcome but they will be starting at the same time as the runner, 5pm

The 800m race for 8 to 16yos is at 4-30pm.....it's just a matter of the kids turning up on the start line (no need to enter) and running the 800m and then all finishers get a commerative medal

Hope this clarifies things

Just added in the Beach/bog run. Road races starting to get scarce now. The Murrintown 10k is the last AAI sactioned race for 2012 coming up.

There doesn't appear to that much activity or discussion on this thread any more. Don't see much point in keeping the race list up to date anymore as all the races appear on RunIreland these days anyway. It was a useful exercise before.

Yeah it's strange alright Wextipp.... and particularly when there's still a few good/novel races around the corner..... perhaps plenty of people just get a bit afraid when ''cross country'' is mentioned :P although having said that, in the local paper this week it says they're expecting 1000 people to turn up to the beach bog run in castletown (paper never refusing ink???!!! but supposed to be 200 signed up already!!!) so a 6km race like that sounds a lot harder to me than women running 4km or men running 6km in a decent stubble field on oct 7th

Anyone got a link to the results of the Murrintown 10K?

Havn't seen then anywhere. yey Best bet is the DMP Facebook Page as they were helping them. No sign of them yet though.

I was in a club before outside of Wexford and have just moved to Blackwater from Rosslare. Been thinking about joining a club in Wexford. Anybody recommend one. I am not a serious runner and do the odd 10k or 5k. Looking for someone to train with really so a casual running group would do either.

spriteof1798

Anyone know anything about the beach/bog run thing. I see on the paper a while back that there are 1000 people entered aleady. Is it booked-out yet can anyone tell me.

I think the best club for the casual runner would be Slaney Olympic based in Enniscorthy town spirtof1798 - a lot of runners of all levels and they meet up regularly. I also find them a very friendly and active club and have a great summer league - check out their website. they have members all over the place.
St. Killeeans based in Crossabeg have a very nice track which is close to you and you can use free gratis there but not really geared for the casual runner as they have a small adult club with serious runners (good guys as well BTW).

The Bog run - I can't see them getting anything close to 1000 but best of luck to them - saw the clips on facebook and looks like good craic.

The Duncannon one was run last year. MapMyRun course

I wasn't there (making my 10km debut later on in that year!), but the map my run link, and the race thread here would make it seem that there was a bit of a climb at the end.

The Tesco one, I haven't seen mentioned before. Its obviously a different route to the other town 10kms (the April one run with the half marathon and the Faythe Harriers one) given that it's starting in the Tesco car park. Can't see it being too hilly. Maybe check with the course organisers?

I have both of these courses in my provisional plan for next year too. Having done a grand total of 2 races last year, I have the bug. Might skip Duncannon depending on other events though. And i'm a townie now, so i will do the Tesco one for sure.

I've had a go at updating this. In partial answer to a question posed by wextipp earlier in this thread, I found this format very useful when I was first looking at doing a few races during the year. Firstly, some things don't turn up on Run Ireland. Secondly, I think it is handy to have things in this format here on boards.

I am sure that i've probably left a few errors in here, and in some cases I was unsure on the chip and organiser details, so i've just left it blank. Feel free to correct!

I did two races in 2012, both in Wexford. I hope to do a lot more in 2013

Druss,

I'm not sure how to update your table but the organisers of the Ferrycarrig "5" are Crossabeg/ Ballymurn Community Centre (in association with St' Killian's AC).

The race funds the Centre which is a great local cause.

Fixed. Will it be a chip event?

I'm thinking about this one as a warm up to a possible attempt at the Dungarvan 10Mile.

Druss,

Not chipped but the course is a good one and the best officials will be doing the timing with official counting equipment etc.

Druss, that's great, good to see it being updated again. I have a spreadsheet to generate the tables if you are interested in keeping it updated. It is on Google Docs. If you keep it updated it will generate a column with the table to paste in to boards. Makes life a little easier.
