Irish Track and Field Season - Fixture List

Chivito550

Trawling through multiple websites in order to find races is something that shouldn't need to be done and is an exercise in frustration management. So I've put a list together of track races this season. It is far from a complete list so please mention other track and field fixtures, and then the mods can add it to this original post.

Neither list is complete. Maybe they could be merged somehow.

Also, the Dublin Graded meets always see a large number of Masters competing.
If you're really adventurous, the European Masters is in Izmir at the end of August.

Thursday is frustrating. If it was Saturday or Sunday I would definitely be interested in making the journey for it. So many meets in Cork and other county championships are on mid week which is annoying, although you could probably say the same for Graded meets in Dublin.

Wish there was more weekend meets and less mid-week ones.

Well, day 1 is weekend, which is better than any of the Dublin Graded Meets.

Yep agreed there. Is there a Connaght Championships by the way? I can't find any information for it. There was a Connaght indoors so surely outdoors? If so, when and where? I'm really chasing races.

Connaught seniors are on Sat 14 June in Sligo along with U13-U19. Starts at 10am, and can be a long day. I ran 800m last year and there was no electronic timing for it. There were 3 in senior 400m, winner was 51.75. Not going to run this year.

Doesn't sound the greatest. Crusaders have a meet that day at irishtown anyway, and Munster Championships are the next day so will be running one of those 2 anyway.

According to Irish runner magazine's fixture list, round 8 is the final meet of the gradeds and specifically says "final meet". But on the graded fixtures they have a round 9 on Aug 20th. Contrasting information. Anybody know more on this?

It seems like after nationals on 19 July, there won't be much happening 400m wise. Even more reason for me to do national decathlon as could be last 400m hit out of the season.

Interested to know too. Do any Dublin clubs put on Open Days? Or clubs in Meath, Westmeath, Kildare, Wicklow, Waterford? There's a fair few tracks out there getting very little competition useage, particularly at weekends, from what I can see, from my extensive online search for races.

Bray runners will be having an invitational mile race on Tuesday evening 24th June at the track in Greystones. I'll pass on more details when I get them, bb67 knows more also!

Lagan Valley AC also hold open meets at the Mary Peters Track. Five in total spread throughout the summer.

Is there any dates for them or have I missed them all?

eldiva

Also can anyone run in the likes of Cork Championships? I presume your not eligible for medals but can you still race

Oiriallach

I think there's a Lagan Valley AC meet tonight and then two more in August. Well worth a quick look at the fixtures pages on the Athletics Northern Ireland website if you're interested in competing in the North.

With regard to county and other championships, it's up to the organising body to decide whether they're open or closed and, if they're open, whether or not "guests" get medals. Sometimes the policy will be clearly stated but, more often than not, you'd have to ask. Checking the results for previous years can also give you an indication.

Does anyone know if its easy to get yo the CIT track from Cork city centre. I have to bus it down for the Cork Champs but not sure how easy the track is to get to

Hmm, that does seem odd alright.

Looking back, it was in January this year, but March suits me!
