Hi anyone got any course info on the novice and intermediate road races that are on the next 2 weekends, still can't figure out why the 2 races are on consecutive weekends when the majority of the 2 fields will be the same, seems a bit unfair to the athletes to be honest.Crogan AC have a meeting tonight with an Agenda of organising the Intermediate Race as per Facebook so guess the course is not finalised yet. Be good to have couple of weeks between them - Novice was originally planned for 9th but think Ballycotton 10 mile conflict was the driver of it being changed.
Yes it was the clash with Ballycotton that caused the novice to be changed from the 9th to the 16th........... anyway I personally don't think it makes any difference there only being 7 days between the novice and intermediate, sure most runners are running races every weekend and the novice is only 3k for women and 6k for men so wouldn't take anything outta ya that a recovery run on monday won't sort out and be fresh and ready to go for the intermediate

Yeah, but everyone isn't as fast, adaptable, quick to recover, svelte and graceful as you Bewleys!!!!

Agreed a lot of lads are racing every weekend, but the point I am trying to make is that it is badly organised , if you take the fact that we have only 8 county races (excluding t & f) days every year then is there a need to have them on consecutive weekends. Also with several races being on Paddy's day why not move them a week or so either way, I know there will always be a clash with some other race but why change for a race down in Cork.

Anyone hear of an update on the Intermediate Road Race this weekend? Wondering if there is any course map, confirmation of start time etc available, not much on the Crogan AC Facebook site either.
The Novice race was a tough enough course but fair I thought - not ideal ending coming down the hill and into the bend on the roundabout but can't complain really, well organised and plenty of tea after 0 -

The ladies 4k race will be off at 1pm, which should leave the mens 8k race to start approx 1-30pm (I'd imagine)........ The start is gonna be at the school in Coolgreaney (it's situated in the housing estate - at the top of the village opposite the Top Shop pub turn into the laneway to the right and the school is about 400m down here), with the ladies doing one lap and the men doing two laps - I can't give you a route map but I'm sure someone will be along with one over the next few days.........although there is a bit more info in Croghan A.C.s club notes in the local paper today, with course directions etc......
The finish for the intermediate will be very flat (the last half mile is flat but from what I hear there's a good hill out in the country to keep ye all honest)
Hope this helps....0 -

Thanks for that - ill have a look in the Standard later so. Glad to hear there's a good hill in it...its always nice to have a near death experience in a race...and I get a chance to have it twice in this one so even better :eek::eek:0 -

Anyone got a course map link yet...Thanks
Ran the route last night - this is a map of what I would imagine is the proposed course (went by the directions on the paper plus what I had heard about the planned course) - the 4km for the ladies (so obviously it'll be two laps for the men).......it's actually a decent course - there is a very steep downhill after the first half mile but after that it's steady drags rather than anything major so I was surprised knowing Coolgreaney how fair the course is (don't shoot the messenger
)

Seen a sign today for taghmon 10k on May bank holiday Monday, can't find anything online, anyone have any details?
There was a notice on South East Radios community diary today about it (was a bit amused to hear it advertised this way so early but fair play to em....it's on Monday May 4th and they're advertising 700 euro in prizes so sounds like they're putting more effort into it than other years......????) - it's on the May bank holiday Monday. I've never run it but as far as I know it's normally a fairly small local community event with a handful of club runners up front, but feel free to correct me....
Hope this helps.... 0 -

Was thinking of doing the race but is there something I'm missing or is it just local rivalry....???
That's a pretty scandalous comment to make. As an organizer of two road races we have found SBR to be great supporters of our races over the years and of all other races in the county. How can you say a race is being boycotted when it hasn't even been run yet. Assuming you are involved with Craanford making a comment like that will not encourage people to take part in your race. Here is a picture from a previous race in Craanford. Spot any SBR runners.
