2012 Race Course (GPS / Video)
Last Year's Results
The Leixlip 5K will take place on the first Saturday in May again this year. Once again the race will be chip-timed and, as always, there will be as much cake as you can handle at the end. There will be a slight variation to the end of the course this year as the race will finish on our new track. We will post an updated Garmin trace as soon as the course is finalised.
Last year's event received a 5 star rating from 100% of respondents. Here are some of the comments we have received on our previous events.- "Great race today, well marshalled with fantastic local support. Really can't fault it"
- "I'm so glad I did this, super race with a fantastic atmosphere, left in great form."
- "Really enjoyed the Leixlip 5K, Great event. Chip Timing was good to see & organisation fantastic."
- "A real 5 star race. Good course, well marshalled, great finishing area, lots of food & water and a really good family atmosphere at the finish line."
- "Great race, fantastic spread. Calorie-wise, we were all winners today!"
- "Super race and a nice fair course"
Online entry will open in the next week (entry fee is €12) and entries will be taken on the day for an increased entry fee of €17. If you have any questions, please ask.Rate this race based on, Scenery, PB potential, Atmosphere, Value, Organisation 17 votes

4 stars (good)I don't remember what cakes I had last year, just that they were yummy but I'd say I had something chocolate-ey
I'm looking forward to this race, especially as I suggested it to my sister who just finished the couch to 5k and it's going to be her first proper race. 0 -

Anyone think that the "early" start is a good or not so good thing? All depends on how early a person rises. I suppose I like my lie ins. I'd probably prefer a 1300 start. If I go sub 19 I don't care!
Always a tricky one walshb....start late enough so that people can have a lie-in or travel from faraway places (like Dublin ) and have the race taking place when traffic is lighter earlier on in the day. The 11 start seems to work in our case. There will be plenty going for sub 19 - and this year's finish will be faster

RQ - it would appear that we have had Gluten Free treats last year and will have them again this year - They must have been gone when I got to have my cup of tea.0 -

I hope that wasn't one of the times you raced, cos if they weren't there when you got there I'll collapse running that pace and won't get them anyway

No RQ - on finish line photo duties so didn't get access to gluten free everything until very late - you'll be in plenty of time 0 -
