10K Fever – Handicaps for next Craughwell Race

10K Fever – Handicaps for next Craughwell Race

10K fever is gripping the country – the National 10K's were on last weekend and Craughwell had one runner (me) who came 63rd in the overall race, in a time of 35:30 on the official clock.  The standard was very high.  Congratulations to Athenry AC who were fifth team on the day and had the high honour of winning individual honours through Paul McNamara for the second year in a row.  More on this at AthenryAC.com.

The results in blue below are ones that we…

National AAI 10k in Tinryland, Carlow on Sunday 23rd Apr

We’re hoping to put a team into the National AAI 10k road race on Sunday 23 Apr in Tinryland Co. Carlow. Closing date is 14 April. Cost is €12 per person – if we have a team, we’ll probably have some sort of subsidy towards cost from the club. Our team won’t be competitive but its only for the fun! If concerned about the standard, take a look at the results of last year’s 10k at http://www.athleticsireland.ie/roadrace/10k/2005_ALL.HTM The standard is…
