    Is the centre close to Leixlip main street?

    Everywhere in Leixlip is close to the main street...

    Where are you coming from? If you're coming from the city centre direction and unsure about the area, there's a train that gets into Louisa Bridge at 10.05. The Amenities Centre is just across the road.

    I presume you'll be coming down Captain's Hill then coming into Leixlip? If so, take a right at the bottom of the hill on to the Main Street and just keep following the road around. The Amenities Centre will be on the left.

    Just wondering...will roads be closed?

    The roads wont be closed but will be extremely well marshalled with Garda support. It was taken on a busy evening and will be much quieter at 11 on saturday morning. We've yet to lose a runner to traffic yet :)

    I look forward to the day when the numbers taking part mean that we will have to close sections of the road!!

    Don't you just hate it when the official results are one second slower than your own watch? :pac:

    Thanks to all involved in organising this race. Good atmosphere, decent course, well marshalled and fantastic cakes afterwards. Great value for money.

    I heard rumours that LIDL were clamping cars but I hope that wasn't true.

    Well done! My unofficial was 18'49" making it a PB so absolutely delighted. :) Wind was a bit of a killer and doing the loop of the track was absolute torture but overall it was a fantastic race. Great atmosphere, nice flat fast route and well organised. And wow the cakes, didn't think it was possible to top Dunboyne but I think today just had the edge. Took serious discipline to walk out of the cabin and not stuff my face ha :)
    A definite for next yrs race calendar. Well done guys

    I liked the course. Fair overall. Windy in parts. My first race at 5 k, so hopefully with some training I can go sub 18:30. I had a grandstand finish which I was delighted with. I must have ran the last 200 in 29/30 seconds. Splits were 3:56/7:36/11:21; after that I didn't record my 4 k and 5 k split. Came home in 7:23 for the last 2 k. I reckon my last k was around 3:37 or so.

    Another good race and spread of cake afterwards, thanks to all those involved. 20:06 for me, which turns out is a PB by a few seconds, just need to shave off another 7!

    Brilliant race as promised and expected. Broke 20 on this course for the first time last year and ran 19:09 today. Reckon I've faster in me with another couple of weeks recovery from Boston marathon and on a wind-free day... but as for the race itself - A1 for price, registration, organisation and the fantastic post-race spread. One for the annual race schedule without a doubt! :) Well done again lads!

    I heard rumours that LIDL were clamping cars but I hope that wasn't true.

    There were threats from the Manager and apparantely the Regional Manager (I was very frightened!) that cars would be clamped - nothing materialised which is just as well as its a public car park that Lidl had to construct as part of the planning application for the store :D
