The Athlone 10KM and 5KM road races were held in Clonown Village, Co. Roscommon, Ireland on Sunday 28th of April 2013 at 14:30 and 15:00. Clonown is a small townland on the west bank of the River Shannon and is situated about 3 miles south of the town of Athlone. Whilst the townland is almost completely rural it is accessed easily from major routes and towns by the M6 motorway.
This race completely defied the fact that it is only the second year of it's existence. Every aspect of the organisation was professional: from stewarting, registration, start of races exactly on time, car-parking, and post race refreshments. The 10KM route followed an anti-clockwise loop. The race started on the L2035 Togher Road (about 100m from Clonown Centre) and heads towards the old Ballinasloe Rd and back via Creggan with the finish at the Clonown Community Centre. The 5KM run was added this year to provide a managable challenge for people who are following programmes such as Operation Transformation. The 5KM race route follows a meandering around the townland. The race starts at the church in Clonown and head clockwise around the Ballinaculla townland which offers lovely views of the River Shannon. The route then goes to the Drumlosh road and runs for 1.5 km before the roundabout which is the 3km mark. The race then turns around and returns back to the village and finish at Clonown Community Centre. Both races share some of the race route for the Flatline Athlone Half held in September (www.athlonehalfmarathon.com/) which makes the race routes very fast and flat.
Overall Race Summary
Participants: Approximately 400 people took part in both events with runners, joggers, walkers, and families involved.
Weather: This was a wonderfully bright dry afternoon but a very strong wind made difficult running conditions in places.
Course: Very flat accurately measured course on rural roads and bog roadway. There were waterstops provided at various points and by locals along the route. Very well stewarded.
Refreshments: There were lots of refreshments served in the community center aftwards.

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.

We had fresh coconut water after our climb. Boy, this was refreshing: just smash the coconut onto the ground, it'll split, and you can drink it. Hmmmmm!

Lorna put absinthe in with her Coke.
Bit of a mistake as not only did her Coke now taste horrible, she didn't have anything to take away the burn.
Initially I was concerned that the only refreshments were going to come in cartons and then I noticed the bucket of Becks and was reassured.

This is a photograph from the Rathkenny AC 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Rathkenny, Co. Meath, Ireland on Friday 21st August 2015 at 19:30. Rathkenny is a small rural village locality north of Navan, Co. Meath and between the towns of Slane and Kells in North Meath and close to the county borders of Co. Louth and Co. Meath. The race registration and post-race refreshments were hosted in Rathkenny community center. The race route started near the Community center and followed a route around some beautiful country roads and finishing up at Rathkenny GFC grounds. The race is an AAI permitted race and is part of the Meath AAI road race series. With the shortening evenings this race started at the slightly earlier time of 19:30. Just under 150 runners participated in the race.
We have a small set of photographs from the finish of the race and they are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157657507534516. With the fading light we had to stop taking photographs after about the 25 minute finish time.

The last day of the Kedisan celebrations for the mass cremation of 55 people. It is 4 years since the last Kedisan cremation and virtually all the villagers returned to Kedisan for the 10 days of Balinese Hindu rituals. Over 1000 people joined the final day of ceremonies, a pilgrimage to East Bali for scattering of ashes at the beach , a picnic lunch and a special ceremony at Pura Goa Lawah for babies who died through miscarriage. From there the final leg of the journey was to the mother temple of Bali, Pura Besakih.

This is a photograph from the first annual running of the Rás na Rí 5KM Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk which was held at Seneschalstown GFC, Beauparc, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday March 15th 2014 at 12:00. The event was promoted by Duleek and District Athletic Club. Car parking, changing rooms, showers, and refreshments were provided in the GAA club.

The race starts about 1KM from the race HQ at the lovely setting of Beauparc Railway Crossing on the old Navan-Drogheda railway line (race start here goo.gl/maps/SVWWY). The race proceeds in an anti-clockwise left handed loop, following the L1600, and passing the GAA grounds before taking a left to Dollardstown, to Yellow Furze, and bringing runners back to the start area at Beauparc for the final kilometer of the race back to the finish. The organisation was perfect for the race. All road junctions were properly stewarded. The kilometer markers were clear to see and there was lots of room for runners entering the finish area. Excellent work by the race committee. The race acted as fund raiser for the local Knockcommon National School (Scoil Naoimh Pio), Beauparc, Co Meath
