Thank you to all those who braved the cold today to help at the race in the Park. It wasn’t the most pleasant of days and your contribution made the day much easier. Hope you have all managed to get warmed up.

League 1 timetable and programme
Click on link below for details of league 1 tomorrow in Santry. Please note that sprints may run at the same time or shortly after start of the hurdles which if works out will mean that the middle distance races should run earlier. Please bring warm gear as April days in Santry can be pretty cold. 3 euro for your sticker and club singlet please if you have one. If anyone has spares at home please bring out on the day.
Training/ competition this week
Sat 13th league 1 in Santry for all athletes born 2004 and younger. Programme and timetable on earlier post. Please note sprints may go ahead on track 2 same time as the hurdles on track 1 if we have enough officials to run both at the same time. Middle distance events hopefully will run ahead of time if this is the case. So be there ahead of time on the programme to allow for earlier start/ warm up. Bring 3 euro for competition sticker. These races are low key and ideal for inexperienced athletes.
Everyone else Hole in the wall 10.30. (sprints and older middle distance groups).
Please note no training on Sunday. Our club fundraiser (Great Ireland run) is on in the Phoenix Park. We need all parents, athletes and friends to help out on the day. We don’t sell tickets or pack shopping! If you haven’t been assigned a time please come over to tented area on main road for 10am on Sunday. Younger athletes are needed as well. We should be done and dusted by 12.30 – 1pm.
