Running Events in Wexford

Hi folks, we are hosting a charity run / walk with all proceeds going to Crumlin Hospital. This promises to be a spectacular event.

It's in memory of my son Ben who died in 2012 after a brave battle with cancer.

It's in the calendar Bernard. Looking forward to it.

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

Fab race. Really high standard. Fantastic value too, at just €15. I'm feeling very full of cake. Well done to SBR. Will definitely be back. A proper runner's race.

Many thanks for the reply. I remember Jim briefly from the forest park gym in Courtown. Any idea how to enter please?

The Jim Carton memorial road race is now a five miler........and you can run or walk the five miles distance.....entry will be on the day (there won't be online entry) and it'll be fifteen euro...... everyone will get a medal too..... route is being worked out, but it looks like starting at the school, taking a left turn up Croghan for a mile, then turning right and back around to the village, with the last 2or3 km being flat and downhill...but will post up as soon as I have proper confirmation :-)

Hi.

Haven't done much trainng lately and unsure if I will be fit enough for it, especially with the recent temperatures we are having.

There's a map of the route up on Blackwater GAAs website at this link http://blackwater.gaa.ie/?p=3373 but I haven't got much more detail......

Just a an update on the Kilmore Quay Seafood festival 5k road race. Last year we had our biggest entry ever. The big crowd made it very hard to manage though. This year we are splitting the event in to two races. There is a ladies race at 7:10pm and a men's race at 7:30pm. We will have the free u/14 800m race at 7pm. You can book on-line for a tenner at the active web-site.

Fair play to Blackwater GAA on their first 10k race. It was a really tough 10k which felt like uphill all the way.
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

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.

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.

Oylegate 10k? I am registered but info on the event seems sparse. I checked the website but it is for 2013's race. I checked my account on active.com through which I registered but again they have little info. RunIreland has little info also. I see though that the route is flat(or at least it is for the half so I assume the10k will be similar)

A few friends want to sign up last min, will there be registration tomorrow morning if they go?

SusanneKn

Has anyone got the route for the 10k Murrintown on the 21/9?
Could not find it online.

Also did I see some advertising for a 10k in Blackwater on the 13/9 while I was driving the other day?

Just to confirm that next years Ferrycarrig 5 Five Mile Road Race will take place on 4 January 2015.

It's over the same course from the same venue run by the same team.

On Line entry will open in October.

Long way off, but just claiming the slot on the calendar. Mayglass NS are holding a 4 mile road race on May 4th (Bank holiday Monday). More details soon.

Going to give this a go again. Just added 3 for the moment and will dig around for more. If anybody has any mods or additions let me know. Just going to keep it to road races and leave out the club leagues. Mention your course certification number/date if you have one.

With all the Strictly Come Dancing races etc it's hard to keep up to date with what's going on. Some are well organised and others not so - there were 4 races on in County Wexford alone last Sunday!!! And results etc aren't appearing from some races, so maybe it's best to keep the list to those races that will be organised for runners by runners etc.

Totally agree. Even some of the races that get an AAI permit don't bother to publish proper results if at all. Most of us like to check up on how our club mates and friends get on in the different races. At the very least a race should be:

Measured correctly
Properly stewarded to ensure the safety of the runners.
Timed correctly
Proper results published within 24 hours, with Name, place, club and time.

Anything else is a bonus and if an AAI club is getting involved with a race they should insist on all of the above.

Exactly.......have to say that most of the races that are held in Wexford do all the above well and are prompt on results but there have just been a couple lately that haven't produced results or have fallen down on the basics and it can give a bad impression for all the other well-organised races........

Wextipp,

Don't forget about the run for Ben 5k on 1 March 2015 Should be a good race being run by runners for a great cause with a story attached.

Regarding Ferrycarrig 5, Plan is for it to be chip timed and plan is also for fee to be as last year (will publish officially when rubber stamped by Race Committee). Will post permit number when secured. Waiting for County Board meeting on 15 Oct to get permit application signed.

For now we'll worry about the Half on Sunday - How are the Numbers Bewley?
