    Last year's results

    This year the annual club race is also incorporating the Dublin Novice Road Race championships so there is guaranteed to be a high standard of club runner at the front for all those chasing PB's. Also ideal for first timers; all standards welcome.
    As you can see from the garmin link above it is a very flat course and fast times were recorded last year. A good spread of food is available at the clubhouse afterwards. A great club race for just €15.

    Why run a well organized club race for €15 when you can run a gimmicky race (no permit, course not measured for €35). Last weekend in Carlingford there was a half marathon (measuring 12.97 miles) and a 10K (measuring 6.05 miles). I think roughly 900 were there paying €35. Hard to attract the mass crowds given the huge choice of races every weekend but all local clubs in Dublin should be supporting this race. The so called running boom is killing Athletic Clubs.

    This is genuinely a fast course. Basically slightly downhill for 4km. Last km is on a slight incline but nothing serious enough to slow you down!

    Damn - will be away for this. Was hoping the Tommy Lynam/Midsummer 5k would be the Novice Championship! Best of luck with the race.

    Is this still going ahead? Looking for something to keep me well behaved over the bank holiday weekend.

    Yes it absolutely is.
    Entry through precision timing website or at Tallaght AC clubhouse on the morning of the race.

    Yep sure is as meno says. Race is on Sunday so you will have to find something for Monday as well to keep you honest :)

    The big news of late is that the course has been slightly modified so as it can finish with a lap of the best track in Dublin. Should make for a flat, fast and exciting finish :)

    We had just over 200 running today, which was brilliant. Anyone of you that did it, hope you enjoyed it. The Tallaght AC 5k will be held on the first Sunday in May henceforth, and (so I'm told) will continue to incorporate the Novice Championship. So put it in your diaries.

    Just wondering if anyone knows if this will be on again this year on the May Bank Holiday Sunday (3rd) ? I had a look on Tallaght AC's website but info is last year's. Sounds like a great race. I suppose it's still a bit early but I'm looking to pin down a goal 5K for end April/early May.
    Cheers.

    As far as I know, yes, but I'll check with someone else in the club, and get back to you.

    I can confirm that. And yes it will incorporate the Novice Championship.
