This is a photograph from the finish of the annual Kilbeggan, St. Stephen's Day 6km Road Race, Fun Run and Walk around Kilbeggan town, Co. Westmeath Ireland. The race was held at 12:00 on St. Stephen's Day Saturday 26th December 2015. The race was provided with sponsorship from KN Network Services and all proceeds from the race were in aid of the Crumlin Children's Hospital. The race started and finished in the Square in the center of the town. The route took a clockwise route around the town crossing the River Brosna twice and making way to the local walking route alongside the M6 Motorway before returning with 1KM to go along the Tullamore road into the town.
The race was chip timed by MyRunResults.com and the Results are available at their website [www.myrunresults.com/results.html?v=%2Fen%2Frace%2Fshow%2...].
There was 283 finishers which included runners, joggers and walkers. This was a fantastic turn out despite the rather miserable weather with the participants experiencing heavy rain for the duration of the race and encountering large puddles of water on the roads. Refreshments of tea, coffee, soup and sandwiches were served in the pub beside the finish.
The full set of photographs from today's race are on our Flickr photostream at [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157660489354903]

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
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 feel that 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.
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. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

Glasgow Corporation Transport were keen to buy buses from local builders from the time they started buying buses, the 1924 trial batches included five bought from Halley of Yoker. Scotstoun-built Albions were purchased from the late 1920s until 1953 when the last was bodied.
In 1951 Albion Motors shareholders agreed a take-over by Leyland Motors of the eponymous Lancashire town. Some years prior to this the Albion directors had decided to discontinue their double-deck Venturer bus chassis.
As a political sop, from the later PD2 Titans until the late batches of PDR1 Atlanteans, Leyland buses for Glasgow carried Leyland-Albion badges. This one is on the front of Mr Philip Blair’s nicely looked after L405, a Titan PD3/2.
I take people I find interesting. When they look back at me, I wonder if they think I'm the interesting one.

This is a photograph from the 30th Annual AXA Raheny 5 Mile Road Race 2014 took place in Raheny Village, Dublin, Ireland on Sunday January 26th 2014 at 15:00. The 'Raheny 5' has become one of the most famous road races in Ireland. The race has continued to grow year-on-year and this year was no exception on the year of it's 30th Anniversary. Almost 3,000 participants took part in the various events of the day. The incredible voluntary organisational work carried out by Raheny Shamrocks and the local community in staging the race every year must be acknowledged.
The weather was postively wintery today. There was an icy wind blowing into the face of the runners at various points in the course. This made for some very variable mile-splits. Overall the weather was favourable in that the rain stayed away and there was some helpful 'wind at the back' for the runners in places.
The race route starts at All Saints Park and goes into Raheny Village via Watermill Road. The route then turns west and along the Howth Road before turning left onto Sybill Hill Road. The route then turns left again onto Mount Prospect Avenue and continues until you run down to the sea-front and the Clontarf Road. The only real hill in the course is at the left turn from Clontarf Road onto Watermill Road. Finally, at the North East end of St. Anne's Park the race turns left and makes it way to the finish which is positioned at the start area of the race.
We have an extensive set of photographs from today's race at the 1 mile and then 400 meters to go. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640185381674/
