The May 5K Series 2010 - Entries opening on Friday

Updated on February 22nd, 2010 by Michael

Six Galway Athletics Clubs will once again come together to organise a series of low-key, no-frills 5km roads races around the county on six consecutive Tuesday evenings from the 27th of April 2010 through to the 1st of June 2010. The Tuam, Athenry, Clare River Harriers, Craughwell, Galway City Harriers and Loughrea clubs have organised a similar series of races for the last four years and the initiative has proven very popular. As usual the races will take place on Tuesday evenings at locations around the county and will culminate in the final race evening in Galway City on Tuesday the 1st June. The now traditional social evening and distribution of series t-shirts and spot prizes will follow the final race.

As in previous years these evenings are specifically designed with the beginner in mind and are perfect for the many members of the Fit4Life groups that have become established all around the county. Runners of all standards are welcome to take part.

Please note that this year, no entries will be taken on the night. Entry is online only. This is because we have introduced chip timing this year, and expanded the numbers. The race schedule can be found here.

Juvenile training takes place every Wednesday at 7pm in The Mercy Secondary School Gym, Dublin Rd. New members aged 7 yrs upwards are always very welcome every Wednesday night - just turn up on the night and give it a try. All events are covered including sprinting and middle distance running, all throwing events, High Jump and Long Jump.
