I ran this one yesterday. Boy was it hot! 23C. Great cause though, but I was disappointed that more 'mainstream runners' didn't do it - I had my fastest 10k time in several years.
ReplyDeleteAfterwards Prof. John O'Leary and his Emer Casey Research Fellows gave talks on the work that the proceeds of this race, along with other Emer Casey Foundation events, has funded.
I think it's great that I can race and, at the same time, support such a worth cause.
Btw, we're back in Youghal on Sunday July 11th for Martin Drake's 5k fun run in aid of Marymount Hospice - mark it in your calendar.
Thanks for the info John. Fun Run in Youghal now added to the Cork and Munster race calendars.....(see link on the right hand side of this page)
ReplyDeleteSorry lads, they leafleted the runners on the finish of the Emer Casey yestarday and I'm sure that 4 miler is on the 18th ... I could be wrong but I'm sure it's the 18th as I was thinking of doing it and am busy on the 11th.

An update on the update...
ReplyDeleteI just got some info to confirm that it is 4 miles and it is on Sunday the 18th.
Sorry for the wrong distance AND date. Still, judging from the phone calls, emails I got, and the posts here, the word is out on this run.
ReplyDeleteMemo to self: must check flyer before posting in future.
I have to agree with John this was a great race.Very well organised and stewarded with plenty of water stations,great food after and lots of prizes.I too am surprized that more "mainstream runners" did not do it.I have done this race every year since it started and it is always the same.Anyone know why? Surely 10Km at 1.30 pm on a Sunday is not too much. It is a great cause and one can see exactly where the money is going.

V enjoyable race, nice course (PB 4me) & well organised but have t say that I & others commented on the volume of cars on the course. I found myself running around them on a couple of occasions especially through the main street around mile 3-5. It was quite distracting maybe they could close it to traffic 4 1 hour next year. i dont think an hour is asking too much. But on a whole I enjoyed it immensely.
ReplyDeleteI also thought there would be more unners it really is for a great cause!!!!
