It was another great night for the Striders, with more success at last weekend’s Wexford Intermediate Road Race. Our ladies team ran a great team race and bunched really well over this tough 4km course in Ballymurn to bring home a team bronze medal. Catriona McLoughlin was our first runner… Continue reading
We are placing an order depending on interest for snoods with USAC logo @ €10 let Catherine Or Kathleen know if you are interested.
Hi all. We made the very difficult decision last night to cancel this year's USAC 5 Mile Stride. The decision was made based on both public health concerns and for financial reasons.
The recent extension of the Covid-19 Phase 3 regulations covers the weekend of the Stride, limiting the event to 200 people. The 200 includes race entrants, stewards, civil defense, spectators etc.
In the absence of sponsorship, (we did not feel it appropriate to ask for sponsorship given the hardship many local businesses are having to endure), the event became financially unviable.
Concerns were also raised about people congregating in large numbers given the recent upturn in Covid-19 cases.
So with a heavy heart the decision was made to cancel this year's event and to start planning for 2021. Thank you to all of our volunteers who have put in considerable work behind the scenes, especially Catherine and Aine and all of the committee.
Thanks too to those of you who signed up, you will receive an email from Pop Up Races detailing the refund of your race registration fee. Stay safe everyone.
The James Lawlor Memorial 5k takes place this Friday with the first runner taking to the road at 7:30pm.
We would like if those who have registered can arrive at 7pm to be allocated their start time and have warmups completed to be ready to start. It would also help if athletes doing warmups could use the road back towards the new bridge behind the start line so we can keep the race route clear.
Parking and the start line is located about halfway down the pink rock road between the humpback bridge and the new bridge.

Looking forward to seeing you there and Good Luck
Please remember to adhere to all recommended guidelines on social distancing during the event
