2013 Race Course (GPS / Video)
Last Year's Results
The Leixlip 5K road race 2014 will take place on the 3rd May @ 11 a.m and will mark the start of the Kildare 5K race series. Once again the race will be chip-timed and, as always, the club will be doing our best to replenish all the burned calories at the end! The course will be largely the same as last year, with the last 600m taking place on our new all-weather track.
Online entry will open early in March and will remain open until the day before the race. The online entry fee is €12. Entries will alsi be taken on the day for an increased entry fee (€18)
Last year's event received a 5 star rating from the majority of respondents to the survey here on boards.ie. Over the years, the race has proved popular with serious athletes looking for a challenging race and social runners looking for a fun day out. 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"
"Great atmosphere, nice flat fast route and well organised."
"A1 for price, registration, organisation and the fantastic post-race spread. One for the annual race schedule without a doubt! "
"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."
And if you'd like a flavour of raceday, take a look at the footage from 2013.

Very well organised race and a very good route...........couldn't find fault with anything really and great to finish on such a new pristine athletics track too, although having to do an extra lap of it after passing the 'finishing line' was torture :P
Was quite funny seeing everyone going around clutching the race finishers bags from LIDL - almost a more prized possession than a medal you'd get after plenty of other races
Well done Le Cheile......0 -
