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 -
