The 10k is on again this year in Kilrush (between Ferns and Bunclody) - last year was its first outing - the Mogue O' Neill memorial Church to Church 10k.
Not exactly the easiest course in the world but around that neck of the woods it's probably as good as it's gonna get - pity it's clashing with the Vinegar Hill 5 miler but the calendar is becoming so congested, clashes are bound to start happening.

- you def won't run a PB but for anyone who likes a challenge (and hills!!) and a local race put on for runners by runners, then this is up your street

The ''Run with Ray for 5k'' in Craanford has been pencilled in for Saturday evening August 16th so stick it in your diaries - a nice course, with the only hill worth talking about coming at the start when ur good and fresh, so not a bother to anyone
By the way, seeing as some people were waxing lyrical about the banana, cuppa soup and finger roll after the wex half/10k on Sunday, why don't ye give any of the good club races a shot and ye'll be bowled over the by the lovely grub at any of these - home baking, all the hot tea/coffee u can drink and lots more yummmmmmmmmm 0 -

Could not agree more.
Ferns half I ate my fill. Oylegate plenty of grub. Even the short races.
All I can say is if people want to pay double the price and very little grub let them off.0 -

Hi has anyone got any info on the course(s) for the races this Friday, I know it's on the old dublin road, but is it the small loop, big loop, combination of both or a us there a link to the route anywhere...Thanks.
Slaney Olympic are hosting the races and speaking to one of their members yesterday at the Taghmon 10k, they're thinking two laps of the small route for the women (4k) and three laps of this for the men (6k), which would make sense from a spectators but I'm sure this will be confirmed (or changed) on athletics wexford facebook page during the week....
as an aside, i see the ''Trip to Cullenstown'' is now a 5k this year, maybe it'll encourage more people to run it as the 12k was a fair oul slog 0 -

Thanks Bewleysberry, yes great for the spectators but 3 times up that main road for the men, maybe sometime some club will do something crazy and put a race on a course that's actually about the runners and not the spectators (novel idea eh), these county races seem to be all on multiple lap courses and hard courses too the novice and int this year were prime examples, I know it's the same for everybody but not everybody will be in line for medals or positions and a nice course that you could run a good time on surely isn't too much of an ask.0 -

Hi just looking for a bit of advice thinking of doing a half marathon soon and I am caught between the Enniscorthy Half and the Viking Half in Waterford, just wondering if anyone has done either or both of these and if so which one would be considered the fairest course or even if either would be a PB course, did the Ferns half last year and found it not too bad, would either be similar tp that one...Thanks.
I've only done the strawberry half so can't comment on the Viking half. Once u've got the long work done for the strawberry half it's a great race, but the first half of the course is fairly undulating and much tougher than the second half, so try to start a little conservatively if possible. It always seems to get great weather too, which is a bonus as it's great finishing back in the main wexford road with the sun scorching ya out of it 0 -

Does anyone have a link to a route for the Ferns 4 Mile this weekend? Just wondering what the course is like.
*Edit* Scratch that. Found a link here
Nicely found KC If yourself or anyone has any other queries on the Mick Murphy memorial four miler in Ferns this coming Saturday (June 14th @ 5pm) there's plenty of info on www.sbrclub.com or just leave a comment here and I'll answer it as best I can. Looking forward to seeing a large turnout on Saturday evening 0 -
Fab race. Really high standard. Fantastic value too, at just €15. I'm feeling very full of cake.bewleys berry wrote: »Nicely found KC If yourself or anyone has any other queries on the Mick Murphy memorial four miler in Ferns this coming Saturday (June 14th @ 5pm) there's plenty of info on www.sbrclub.com or just leave a comment here and I'll answer it as best I can.

Was organised well and there was a fantastic spread put on after it, range of sandwiches, oranges, strawberries and cream, cakes, scones, coffee, water, absolutely lovely. Great way to enjoy a tough race and fair play to all who contributed with the food.
Hopefully plenty of money was raised and the race will be continued next year
Have to echo your comments there - well organised race over a tough course and the feeding after was some of the best I've seen on the Wexford circuit or anywhere really (the strawberries and cream went down a treat and I consoled myself that it was some of my five a day).
On another note, the SBR Summer league is starting on Wednesday July 2nd at 8pm in Ferns and will run for eight weeks, with the league moving around to other towns like last year. Full info is on www.sbrclub.com or Sliabh Buidhe Rovers' facebook page - the league is open to everyone and are always good races whether you're looking to break into road running or looking for a competitive race against club runners 0 -
Here's a ''map my run'' link to the race route for this Sundays Jim Carton memorial five miler.....it is a very scenic route and I ran it for the first time last week, but anyone thinking of doing it, be warned it's a VERY tough road race.... hope this helps

Trip to Cullenstown
Hi does anyone have any info on the Trip to Cullenstown 5K thats part of the Phil Murphy Weekend in Carrig-on-Bannow, I think it was a 12K in previous years. Just wondering is there's usually many runners or what is the course like...Thanks.
Hey Cooldog, I've very little info about it, but road and cross county secretary JM was telling me the 5k will take place on the same roads as the 12k and he says it'll be a tough 5k.... gulp It'll still go to Cullenstown seemingly and is a lovely scenic part of the county.
They usually don't get a large turnout for it - I ran it two years ago but spectated last year. It's mostly club runners or locals/holiday makers who do a bit of running to keep fit - I'm fairly sure there wouldn't have been anywhere near 100 in it last year.0 -
Just a heads up - anyone looking for a nice 5k route
I'm helping organise a fun run in aid of Haiti on Sunday July 27th in Gorey.
It'll start at 11am outside Ballyloughan business park (which is on the Arklow road). Registration takes place on the morning from 10am in Redmonds Home and Garden Centre, which is at the start line. Entry is ten euro.
Full info is on the event page on facebook - Gorey 5k fun run.
It's a great route, with slight drags for the first mile, but the rest is either downhill or flat so there should be some PBs posted
We'll have full results and pics posted on FB after the race.0 -
