    My local Juvenile club Inbhear Dee AC will be holding the Streets of Wicklow 5k again around Wicklow Town! Start time is 11.30am on Stephens day. This year the race will be chiptimed also. The race is run under an Athletics Ireland permit, officially measured 5k route. This race is as much about the fun element also, with a kids 1mile race held beforehand at 11am, and the race is open to everyone, whether you want to walk, jog or run it!

    Anyone running this one?
    It's a cracking little race, keeps me semi honest conscious on Christmas day.
    Good course 1st k flat, 2nd climbs a bit, 3rd downhill, last 2 flat.

    Yeah myself and a buddy are running. Being the day it is and all there'll probably be a bit of vomiting at the finish line though.

    Actually I've been warned to make a point of this, this years race is being run as a charity event, in memory of Anne Earls, founding member of Inbhear Dee AC! Unlike in some previous years where there were substantial cash prizes, there are none this year!

    There's a few boardies heading for a few scoops afterwards if you need to re-hydrate.

    I assume that there is plenty of parking up around the school at start line, I know the area well enough but can't remember if there's space to park?

    Looks like a good race to keep me sane over Christmas :)

    Parking at the school, also a good few options with 500mts of the start, old DOE plot beside the petrol station, Lidl / Heatons car park and the Tesco cark won't be too full on Stephen's morning.

    Is it possible to still enter this? Pay on the day at the site?

    This is a great race folks. Can't run it this year but I might pop down to abuse Joe and the rest of the bray lads have a good watch:rolleyes: The Aga khan has supplemented Eoin Brennan for this one to the tune of 20,000 guineas:D:D

    Yeh, the weather made it great fun for timing/results! The club focused the race moreso at the local Wicklow community this year, rather than targeting all the top class runners with large cash prizes. One of our main methods of advertising was simply to get the kids in the club to do leaflet drops in all the local housing estates. In this day and age of social media/etc, the old ways still have a lot going for them which showed with the crowds that turned up despite the weather!

    It wasn't for the want of trying, we had a good ding dong from the 2k mark, we were tied together by a 10ft string over the last k, every time I pushed she seemed to have a sixth sense - definitely helped me to a sub 18 though.
