Club Running league

Run in Tramore at 6:30 in car park outside splashworld / old train station. Same route as last time

After a 2 week break due to snow and ice, we are back again tonight in Waterford.

Start: 6.30pm at Farronshoneen roundabout - 3 groups 5mins apart.

You can either run there as a warm-up or park at Tesco's and run over.

This will be our last one before Christmas so this will be your chance to get a good time before all those mince pies, mulled wine, roses and laziness.

This Thurs we will do our Run league in Tramore:

Meeting for 6.30pm start at Splashworld.
Distance: 6k approx (will know for definite on the night) with 3k option also as it will be 2 loops.
Route: Start at Splashworld, turn right down towards Waterford rd. roundabout, turn right down riverstown as far as the prom, turn right along the prom road, turn right at Sands Hotel, back towards Spalshworld and carry on for 2nd loop.
Finish opposite Splashworld entrance.

We can alternate direction if people want some weeks.

Please bring your own watch.

I would advise a warm up run before starting.

Our Club running league got off to a great start last Thursday with 7 eager runners on the starting blocks.

Starts at Farronshoneen roundabout (actual start line is at Mount Pleasant entrance)
1st group starts at 6.30pm
2nd group starts at 6.35pm
3rd group starts at 6.40pm.

It's exactly 4 miles - the route goes from Farronshoneen, past Tesco's, turn right at hospital, run out Dunmore rd. as far as Orpens pub. Turn right up hill at Ballygunner past the church. Turn right at school at top of hill. Run back down to start and carry on past small roundabout at Tesco entrance. Finish about 50m past roundabout.
