    I have taken up running in past 6 months and was hoping to do the Adare 10k in February. I have only compelted one previous 10k in a time of 53mins. Just wondering, is Adare 10k open to all abilities, i.e., limited ability like myself, or is it more suitable for high performers?

    Thanks in advance

    The race, like almost all road races, is open to anyone.

    The defending champion, among with other elites, will likely be racing in Tullamore that day.

    Inter Club Cross Country Championships are on the same day.

    Well maybe Sean Hehir will run in Adare instead. He did run in a 10K road race yesterday and not the Munster Championships CC.

    It's been a few years since I did it...(assuming the course is the same) I would say that it's probably one of the less punishing courses around in terms of hills.

    The last few hundred metres are on a nice downhill too so make sure to smile for the cameras during your sprint finish:D

    Did it today and bagged a PB. A lot of people I spoke to said it was harder running in the direction it was ran in today. Great numbers over 1000 or so.
    The parking at the start and for the first mile must have made life very difficult for mid pack runners with congestion. I figured as much and started with the hares up front to avoid it. I still lost 10 or seconds. As usual a nice spread afterwards but didn't really hang around.

    great day for it, i also ran a PB today but i thought it was tougher in the opposite direction to usual?

    i'd like to think i would have gone quicker again if it was the normal way around.


    great race and very well organised can only see this getting bigger and bigger every year

    super race again this year, the opposite direction was a pleasant change I agree i think it felt harder but thats just a mind game I'm guessing, great conditions weather wise too, will be back again next year, weather helped with a large turnout but it seems to be growing in popularity each year
