Great Ireland Run Report

Thank you to the nearly 150 people we had on duty to help organise the race yesterday in the Phoenix Park. It was great to have so many there. Many hands really make light work.

We had a good crowd of athletes in the junior races, with particularly good running from Ella Mae and Sean who were both 4th in their races and Dora was not far behind. Well done to all of you!

Training/Competition Plan for Week Beginning Sat 5th April

Sat 5th April Hole in the Wall everyone not running in the Great Ireland Run

Sun 6th April No training. Great Ireland run today in the Phoenix Park. If any of the juniors still want to enter you can still do so in Lifestyle Blanchardstown Friday and Saturday. On Sunday everyone is come to Marys car which will be in the usual place at the tented area at 10.30. Bring rain gear and sambos as it will be a long day.Rain bottoms would be great if you have them. Travel by bike if you have one.

Some stewarding positions have been allocated already. We need as many people as possible to come out on Sunday to do the waterstation and finish area. Nobody will be left without a job to do. This is our big fundraiser and enables us to keep membership fees at a low level for our members.

We need all the athletes to wear club hoodies and make sure you have your name clearly marked on it. See you all on Sunday.

Plans for the remainder of the week will be loaded on Monday:)

Great Ireland Run Sunday April 6th Phoenix Park

Any of the younger club members who want to run in the Junior races next Sunday can enter in Lifestyle in Blanchardstown next Saturday. They will also be taking entries there on Friday afternoon.

Reminder to all parents, we will need everyone who is available to help out with the stewarding of the race, Water station and Finish area. Many hands make light work!
