Donadea 5KM Trail Race 2012

The first running of the Donadea Running Club 5km Trail race was held within the trails of the Donadea Forest Park, Donadea, Stapelstown, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 27th July. The route takes the opposite direction to the 5km loop used in the well known Donadea 10km race and the Donadea 5OKM ultra race. Over 300 runners took part with all of the Athletics Clubs of Kildare and surrounding areas well represented.

 

This race is part of the North Kildare 5K Running Series.

 

Donadea Forest Park is located in north west Co. Kildare close to the border with County Meath. It is about 50 kilometers from Dublin. The forest is now a very mature forest with a vast array of habitats and a lake. It is over 640 acres in size. The Park is managed by Coillte.

 

This is a set of photographs taken at the race by Rory Mooney and Family. Taking photographs of fast moving people, in a forest, in the evening time is about as tricky a gig as a photographer can be given. We did our best to capture a good selection of photographs. Unfortunately we had a lot of blurred pictures.
