    Signed up myself...always a great race with a strong field. Passing through the village 3 times is also great from a spectator point of view

    I'm all over this. I haven't done it before, although I do have the t-shirt from 2015 - too big for my O60 category mother :)

    Im in...

    Probably 4 years since I ran this last, looking forward to it again.

    This, with the DHAA Dunboyne 5miler and the Dunshaughlin 10K are 3 great club races to look forward to.

    this is the best part, yes you go through the village 3 times but its a not a looped route, the cheering crowds are worth the trip alone :)

    Just giving this a bump! only a couple of weeks to the race, hope to see lots of you there on the day :)
    A short race with a big reputation
    The 47th EirGrid Dunboyne 4 Mile Road Race & Fun Run, in partnership with Athletics Ireland, takes place on Sunday 3rd April 2016 at 3pm. It is a landmark event on the Irish road racing calendar, attracting an entry over one thousand in 2015. The course offers great potential for athletes to target a fast time, gives first time participants a great introduction to the 4 mile distance, and also allows supporters to provide plenty of encouragement along the way. At 4 miles, this is also an ideal event for anyone new to fitness, walking or running, as the emphasis is on a fun day out in a friendly and safe environment.

    Last chance now, why not get out and support a great club!!!

    So just turn up and register by around 2 for the senior race and you'll have the perfect wAy to burn off those Saturday night carbs you've been downing , it's very flat and fast. Wind not going to be a factor like last years was. Juvenile races too beforehand.

    Mine's absolutely spot on...it wasn't a chip start so if you started back a bit, your time will be a bit slower in the results compared to your watch

    The clock said 26:51 when I went under it, but web said 26:57.

    It's not important or a criticism.

    Great race by dunboyne again
