Fast and flat 10k

The Celtic Runner

Hi everyone, after just getting a new PB in Drogheda on the tough Boyne 10k I am looking for flat one in June around Dublin. Would anyone recommend any? I wanted to run the Dunshauhghlin one as I got PB last year but I can't find any link to register, may it is too early?

To early to register I'd say, give it another few weeks and it should be open I'd imagine.

Not till July but from what I recall the 10k in swords that's part of the race series is pretty flat.

Thanks, I m only looking at June after that I will be focused on the Rock n Roll HM beginning of August and then Berlin marathon end of September. I prefer not chasing PB on a 10k in the last 2/3 months...I ll wait and see when the Dunshaughlin one opens. it s a good one which I recommend, great atmosphere and fast enough.

I agree, great 10k to run, no hills if I remember correctly
I have pulled new PB'S any time I have ran it.

I signed up to it as part of the race series, looking forward to the summer and all the events it brings

Well done OP on getting a new PB on the boyne 10k, my own opinion is that its one of the tougher 10k's around Leinster.
Those hills at 7k would drain the legs and lungs off you

The k club 10k is another good one but obviously at the wrong time of year, ran my best time for a long time down there last month.

Yes that is a tough one but I run it every year. I almost ran it 2 minutes faster than last year thanks to a very good quality training and 6 or 7 kilos less to carry That's why I need a flat one in the next coming weeks to see what I can really do!

Not June but late May there is a 10k in St Anne's park which is very flat.
