Transfer for Dungarvan 10 Mile

The 'ever-popular' John Treacy, Dungarvan 10 Mile road race has been sold out since the day registrations opened on 1st November. That was 2,750 registrations in just a few hours. The organisers of the race, West Waterford AC have now put a transfer system in place, here are the details:

Thank you for registering for the Dungarvan 10 Mile 2018. If for any reason you cannot participate and wish to transfer your registration to another person, you can do so through the link below.

There is an admin cost of €5. Please be aware that you cannot give your number to another person without the event organiser knowing of the change. There are many reasons for this.

1. Incorrect results including gender, age and team results can be effected by a person giving their number to an another competitor.

2. For insurance purposes, the person taking the number would not be covered if the organiser is not informed.

If a current registered participant gives their number to another person without the consent of the race organiser, that number will be taken out of results.

Thank you and we hope you are looking forward to the event in February

Great Island Run

10th April

Returning for it's 7th year this year is the Great Island Run, 10 mile race in Cobh, Co. Cork. (also including a 4 mile race). Expect around 600 runners for the 10 mile, and 250 for the 4 mile.

All the money raised from this race is donated to the Irish Cancer Society.

Route

This is a tough enough route, not the worst, and certainly good training. The first 2 miles are fast and downhill, the next 4 miles are pretty challenging. From mile 6 to the finish it's pretty flat, except for a slight incline around 8.5 miles. Also a nice downhill finish with views of cork harbour.

The 4 mile starts downhill and follows the last 3 miles of the 10 mile route.

Registration

Entry for the 10 Mile is €20 online or €25 on the day. Entry for the 4 Mile is €10 online or €15 on the day.

Link to Registration

Just to reiterate, this race is run for the Irish Cancer Society, no profits are taken by organisers.

Mallow 10 Mile

Mallow 10 Mile - 20th March

Another 10 mile race that has been around for a long time and is very popular is the Mallow 10 Mile on Sunday 20th March. This will be the 16th year of the race, organised by Mallow Athletic Club, since it came back. But the event has been around since the 80's in some form.

Entry

Last year they capped the number of entries at 1,500 and sold out, this year they have increased the cap to 1,750, and with everyone training for 10 miles around this time of year, they'll likely sell out again. (Closing date for online entries is March 4th).

As of January 17th, the had exceeded 700 entries. The cost is €20 plus a booking fee of €1.90 and you can register here.

Route

This is a pretty fast course, with a mix of town and rural country roads. No major hills to worry about.

What you Get

Last year entrants received the branded Buff below. Not sure if this is coming back again, but I would guess so. If anyone from the race wants to confirm in the comments below, please do:

Trim 10 Mile

7th February

Returning for the second year on Sunday 7th of February is the Bewleys Trim 10 Mile. A flat and fast 10 mile race, this had over 800 entrants last year. Organised by Trim Athletic Club it is likely that there will be an increase on numbers this year (based on the course and the positive reports from last year....plus the timing of the race).

The Course

The course is pretty flat and fast, no major hills to worry about. The winners posted some pretty fast times last year. It starts and finishes in Trim, but the route is very much on quite country roads all the way.

Pacers

There will be Pacers for 60, 70, 80 and 90 minutes.

What you Get

The first 750 entrants will receive a pair of race branded INVERSE Technical socks (see artwork below). If you enter before 31st of January, you can get the socks posted out with your race number in advance of the race, but there's an additional cost to this postage (see registration page).
