BHAA 10KM at the K-Club 2013
The BHAA K-Club 10KM Road Race and Fun Run 2013 was held at the K-Club Golf and Hotel Resort, Straffan, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 20th of April 2013 at 11:00. This was a superbly organised road race which absolutely stood up to it's very high standards set on the previous two years. The race started and finished near the Palmer Smurfiff Course Club House on the Golf Course. Parking was provided nearby and a fantastic spread of goodies were served afterwards. The race took a route out on the country roads on the edge of the resort with a loop of 3km ran twice before returning back to the finish. This collection of photographs are from both the start and the finish of the race. We have photographs from the winner crossing the line until about one hour five minutes on the timing clock. This race has grown year on year and at this year's showing will continue to sell out for years to come. Well done to everyone involved. This is a credit to volunteered athletics and road racing events in Ireland.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Approximately 500 people
Weather: Dry, with nice sunny spells. There was a stiff breeze acting as alternating as a tail and a headwind at various parts of the course. Temperatures about 12C.
Course: Completely traffic within the Golf Course - a loop of 3KM on open country roads was followed twice. Traffic marshalled by Gardai Traffic Corps and marshals.
Refreshments: An incredible spread of refreshments from sausages, to large cookies, pasta, scones, cakes, etc. One of the finest after-race spreads we have seen.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the image(s) you request are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible.
