Dungarvan 10 mile road race 30th Jan 2011

Time to start cranking up the distances again :shock:

I did this race last year and can honestly say that I felt a bit guilty afterwards like I had underpaid them and somehow robbed West Waterford AC or something!!
And it's going to be worse this year cos they've dropped the price by a fiver - €15 if you sign up before 17th December

It's a really fast course, very well organised, includes a nice technical Nike running top and they stuff you full of hot food and cake afterwards in the local sports hall (hot showers too). I could not recommend it highly enough. I think Aisling and Jim did it last year too?

Grand one to open up the lungs in the new year :D

This is a great race. Got a PB here a couple of years ago.

This is part of a series of 10 mile races along with Mallow on Jan 9th http://www.mallowac.ie/ and Ballycotton on March 6th http://www.ballycottonrunning.com/ and Kilnaboy (I can't find a date for this yet but its probable April 10th).

Mallow is supposed to open for reg today but it's not up yet. This is also a lovely course and well run - well worth considering.

I intend on doing Mallow, Dungarvan and Ballycotton but I've also registered for the Conemmara Marathon which is on the same day as Kilnaboy. :roll:

Anybody intending on running in Ballycotton should be aware that it sells out very quickly with only postal entries accepted. Athletics Ireland members are guaranteed entry.
