Welcome back everyone!
We're aware of a huge appetite at the moment within the running community for a road race of any distance to be held.
So we have decided to go ahead with our current race date of Saturday 22nd of August, 2020 @ 7pm in Camross, Co. Wexford.
This is a 5 Mile Road race open to everyone. (Participants to be 18+ in accordance with AAI guidelines). Unfortunately we can not facilitate our 3 Mile Walk this year.
Although we will not be able to extend our full range of hospitality that we are renowned for each year,
United Striders AC as a running club, will make this the best event possible (in accordance with AAI & Government Covid19 guidelines). As runners we understand the importance of giving back to other runners & clubs within our County & across the country. We also have a huge number of volunteers available within our club to facilitate the running of such an event.
We have ample parking, and the course is run along quiet country roads (flat roads!), and we have lots of options of wide road for the start & finish areas, plus single direction warm up & cool down routes.
This is an Athletics Ireland permitted event, and subject to permits and other approvals, full event details will follow shortly.
In the meantime, runners & volunteers alike, please SAVE THE DATE and spread the word.
Sunday morning 20k, happydays.. thank you to Eddie Murphy and Nicola Murphy for organising the run and for the fab breakfast.. the best company.
Today’s (Monday 22nd July) juvenile training session has been cancelled, due to weather.
