Tuam Athletic Club in association with our chosen charity Tuam
Cancer Care present the 2011 New Year 8K Road Race on Sunday 16 Jan
2011 @ 2.30pm.
This race is held on a very fast flat course around Tuam and a permit
from Athletics Ireland has been applied for.
And, for the first time, in 2011 we will have chip timing by redtagtiming.
There is a fantastic cash prize fund and trophies for the first 3
Men and Women, cash prizes and trophies for ALL category winners from
O/35 to O/65 Ladies and O/40 to O/70 Men and each 5 years in between.
There are also cash prizes and the Corralea Court Perpetual Trophy to
winning Men and Women Teams. There will also be cash prizes for 2nd
teams.
And due to the great response we got last year, we have again this year
a 3 pack of top quality Kelanji running socks for the first 300
entries.
As always, there will be hot showers and plenty of post race
refreshments. This race represents superb value at only a €15 entry
fee.
Registration is now available online at Run
Ireland. We have already received many more entries online then we
had at this stage last year, so be sure to be register early to avoid
disappointment. There may be a limited number of spaces available on
the day, but this cannot be guaranteed. We will give further updates on
this closer to the event. Good luck with your training, and we look
forward to seeing you all in Tuam.
JOur sister club Athenry AC
hold their ever-popular annual 10K once again this year on St.
Stephen's Day at 11 AM. There are 1500 places available, but as
of December 5th there are only 200 places left. You can also enter this
race online. The entry fee is €20.
