This is a photograph from the 2nd annual running of the Kilcock Ladies GAA club "Santa Dash" 5KM Road Race and fun run which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 15th December 2013 at 13:00. This is one of the final road races in this part of Leinster before Christmas. The race welcomes runners, joggers, walkers, and families. Every entrant is given a free Santa hat to wear in the race to add to the festive atmosphere. The race starts beside the Royal Canal/Railway at the end of Connaught Street. The route then takes in the wellknown local walking route around Laragh (Sli Na Slainte). This route is familiar to many runners as a reverse of the Kilcock AC 5KM held annually every summer. The race was organised to help raise funds for the many ladies teams that the girls from Branganstown continue to field year after year. The Kilcock Ladies are a vital part of the local community and provide football for all age groups in the town. Last year, the first year of this race, 2012 was a very special year for the Ladies section of Kilcock GAA club as they celebrated the 20th year since their foundation back in 1992.

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.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

AlbarracÃn es una localidad y municipio español del suroeste de la provincia de Teruel, comunidad autónoma deAragón.
La localidad es Monumento Nacional desde 1961; posee la Medalla de Oro al mérito en las Bellas Artes de 1996, y se encuentra propuesta por la Unesco para ser declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la belleza e importancia de su patrimonio histórico.
Se encuentra situada cerca de la antigua ciudad romana de Lobetum. Los árabes llamaron al lugar Alcartam que se derivarÃa del antiguo topónimo de Ercávida, pasando a denominarse más tarde como Aben Razin, nombre de una familia bereber, de donde se derivarÃa su nombre actual. Otros opinan que el término «AlbarracÃn» derivarÃa delcelta alb, 'montaña', y ragin, 'viña', 'uva' o del antropónimo Razin.4
Sin duda el topónimo procede de Ibn (ben) hijo de Razin (reyes taifas de AlbarracÃn desde la fitna hasta Ibn Mardanis, rey Lobo de Murcia. es decir Al lugar de los hijos de Razin, aunque hasta el s. XIX su nombre oficial es Ciudad de Santa MarÃa de AlbarracÃn, denominándose en época islámica Santa MarÃa de Oriente
El casco antiguo se encuentra construido sobre las faldas de una montaña, rodeada casi en su totalidad por el rÃo Guadalaviar. Al norte se encuentra la sierra de AlbarracÃn, y al sur los montes Universales. Parte de su término municipal está ocupado por el Paisaje protegido de los Pinares de Rodeno.
En los alrededores nacen los rÃos Guadalaviar, Tajo, Júcar, Cabriel yJiloca.
Su término municipal es, por razones históricas, uno de los más grandes de la provincia de Teruel (sólo superado por el de Alcañiz) y en él se encuentran las localidades de: AlbarracÃn (capital del municipio), El Cañigral, Las Casillas de Bezas, Collado de la Grulla, Valle Cabriel, El Membrillo, San Pedro y Valdevecar.
El pueblo está encaramado en un peñón y rodeado por el Guadalaviar. Por este lado y mirando hacia el rÃo se hallan edificadas las casas colgadas. Dentro del pueblo sus calles son empinadas y estrechas, con rincones muy pintorescos. La construcción ofrece la original arquitectura popular con la forja propia de la provincia además de tener el color rojizo caracterÃstico llamado rodeno.
La ciudad se divide en dos zonas:
•la parte antigua, la Ciudad, con sus casas colgadas sobre la hoz del rÃo;
•el Arrabal, situado en la vega del Guadalaviar.
En la Edad de Hierro estuvo habitada por la tribu celta de los lobetanos. Se han encontrado importantes pinturas rupestres epipaleolÃticas y neolÃticas de estilo levantino, esquemático y semiesquemático en el pinar del rodeno. Durante la época romana se llamó, al parecer, Lobetum, y en tiempos de los visigodos, Santa MarÃa de Oriente.
Durante el perÃodo andalusÃ, concretamente el siglo XI, el clan bereber de los Banu Razin alcanzó el poder convirtiéndose en la dinastÃa soberana de la taifa de AlbarracÃn. De este linaje procede el propio nombre de la población (al-Banu Razin: (la ciudad) de los hijos de RazÃn). De esta magnÃfica etapa se conservan dos importantes testimonios: la torre del Andador -situada en lo alto del recinto exterior- y el Castillo de AlbarracÃn, que albergó la antigua alcazaba de los Banu Razin.
La taifa pasó posteriormente, por cesión y no por conquista, a la familia cristiana de linaje navarro de los Azagra, que mantuvieron de facto la independencia deCastilla y de Aragón desde 1170, llegando a crear un obispado propio. También el poderoso linaje de Lara ejerció su soberanÃa sobre AlbarracÃn. Tras el fracaso de conquista por parte de Jaime I en 1220, es Pedro III de Aragón quien la conquistó en 1285 tras sitiarla, pasando definitivamente a la Corona de Aragón en 1300. Esta serie de hechos polÃticos tuvieron como base la importancia de la fortaleza y del sistema defensivo de AlbarracÃn.
Es una antigua sede episcopal denominada, primero Arcabricense y después Segobricense hasta que, tras la desmembración de las iglesias de Segorbe (Castellón) de las iglesias de AlbarracÃn, paso a denominarse Albarracinense, tras la Bula Papal de Juan Pablo II, mantiene su independencia pero pasa a ser regida por el Obispo de Teruel que es también Obispo de AlbarracÃn.
El 21 de junio de 1257 el rey Jaime I concedió en Teruel a la Comunidad de Santa MarÃa de AlbarracÃn o Comunidad de aldeas de AlbarracÃn el privilegio sobre competencia de jurisdicción de sexmeros, asistentes y jurados de dicha Ciudad
Durante la Guerra Civil Española tuvieron lugar en la localidad combates entre las tropas republicanas y las franquistas, cambiando varias veces el control de la población entre ambos bandos. En julio de 1937 tuvo lugar una ofensiva republicana sobre la localidad, constituyendo el mayor enfrentamiento bélico habido en la localidad durante la guerra. En un rápido ataque, el 8 de julio los republicanos se hicieron con el control de la localidad a excepción del Ayuntamiento y la Catedral, en los que permanecieron sitiados militares y civiles que se habÃan refugiado previamente. Los sublevados reaccionaron enviando refuerzos y el 13 de julio lograron reconquistar la localidad y expulsar a las tropas republicanas.
A festival of local authors - reading from and talking about their work, in Chatham library.
The lady speaking at the moment is one of the library staff - and also a soon-to-be published poet.
Very interesting to talk to some of them - including a man who used to work in the dockyard, a lady who had travelled all over the world in a boat, a mystery writer, and a sci-fi author.
