Results of the Poll....'Should there be an Over 35 section for men in all Road Races' This poll started off some time back when John Dunphy of Midleton AC posed this question and a fair bit of a debate followed. See HERE.
The poll was on the website for just over 1 month and thanks to everyone who took the trouble to vote.The result is that of those who had a preference, 58% voted YES.........and 42% voted NO.
Certainly, 58% is a yes but not a resounding yes. It could probably be said that a 'slight' majority support the idea.
So, with that result in mind, it is now up to race organisers to decide for themselves if they want to introduce a category for men in the Over 35 category or not.
Thank you John for putting the poll on the blog,have to say it opened up a good debate and it was interesting to see how many people had voted and left comment's thanks to all, at the end of the day it is up to the race organizer's to see if they will introduce it and i have written to them to highlight the case for it and to discuss this topic at their next commitee meeting and to come to a decision on the matter and to notify me of the outcome.once again apprecaite your time on highlighting it on the blog.
