Raheny Road Relays!

Timmaay

No thread about this! Many here doing it? After saying I have to make it for the last few years I'm finally going! Should be a good laugh, relays always are! Good writeup from Lindie about it here: http://www.herald.ie/sport/other-sports/clohisey-key-for-raheny-30170658.html

There could be a clean sweep from Raheny!

Sligo were great last year but Clonliffe and Raheny men both seem to have stronger teams this year and it'll be interesting to see who lines out for Rathfarnham too.

Are Raheny women favourites in both the Senior and Masters as well?

I'd expect Rathfarnham to be favourites in the Men's Masters (although Raheny also seem to have a stronger team than last year in the Masters).

Don't bet against sligo again. They have their best runner back.
Hoped to have had a masters team this year but injury and other priorities got in the way

Turns out you were right! Really impressive win by Sligo in the senior men's and by Leevale in the senior women's race.

Great event again.

Always a good day out. Still coughing after a lung burning first leg in the master men's race.

Great to see the results up so soon and accurate. There are a lot of moving parts to tracking legs and times in a relay, i think the AAI time recording team should be completed for the job done today.

The lap is a bit longer than a mile though, isn't it?

About 30m, or 6secs/lap afaik.
