not copy cat images but a joint shout out to two of our favorite inspirations: Leilani, and her incredible hill and sky images, and Craig, and his insane devotion to, and impressive achievements in, long distance running.
This is a photograph from the 2013 running of the Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10KM which were held in the town of Clonakilty, West Cork, Ireland on Saturday 7th December 2013 from 09:00. This year the marathon events return back to their spiritual home with all events starting and finishing in Clonakilty town on the Inchydoney road. Clonakilty is a bustling picturesque town in the heart of West Cork, and lies approximately 50 km west of Cork city. This is the fourth running of the event which started in 2010. The event has grown from strength to strength and has gained a reputation of being one of Ireland's friendliest marathons. The marathon takes in some breathtaking coastal scenery along a testing course. The route descriptions are available from the official website. The marathon event has now firmly embedded itself in the Irish marathon running calendar. It marks the de-facto end of the large city/large town marathons for the year and places the event at the begining of the Christmas season in Ireland.
The race events were electronically timed by Precision Timing (see their website: http://www.precisiontiming.net/)

Today, Saturday 24th November 2012, the Marathon Club of Ireland's well known West of Ireland (WOI) Marathon series made it's debut in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland. The first WOI marathon held in the east of Ireland was a great success. About 50 people took part in the marathon. The weather was a very cold frosty morning for running which eventually gave way to some bright November sunshine. The race started and finished from beside Acres Road/Papal Cross in the Phoenix Park. After two initial small loops totalling 1.2 miles the race then took 5 five mile loops clockwise around the Phoenix Park. This took in Chesterfield Avenue, then down towards Chapelizod, up the Military Hill, along the S-Bends, up the hill at the Upper Glen Road, and across Furze road back onto Chesterfield Avenue. A Garmin Connect GPS trace of this five mile loop is available from the links below.
As anyone who has ever raced in the Phoenix Park before this was a demanding course - and to do that loop 5 times could be described as "challenging". However everyone who took part enjoyed the event. We managed to get photographs of most of the participants from the event today! Well done to everyone who took part. The atmosphere amongst the runners involved epitomised all that is great about the marathon. Thanks to Frank McDermott, Anthony Lee, Ray O'Connor, and Pat O'Keefe for making this possible. The marathon club of Ireland organise marathons almost every two weeks all year round. They are not mass participation events. These marathons are officially measured and count as offically recognised marathons. Participants in the events are expected to support themselves with their drinks, gels, and other requirements.
How can I get a full resolution copy of these photographs?

We take these photographs as a hobby and as a volunteered contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not know of any other photographers who operate such a policy. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also means the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a wall post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.

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.
My photograph isn't here on your Flickr page! What gives?
As we have stated above the taking and subsequent provision of these photographs, free-of-charge, into the public domain on Flickr is a hobby of ours. Depending on the size of the race event it might be impossible to get a photograph of every competitor in the race. Usually at smaller race events we can manage to take photographs of almost all of the competitors. So if your photograph is not in our Flickr set there could be a number of reasons for this:
* We missed you - sorry!
* We got a photograph of you but it might have been blurred and consequently we didn't upload this photograph
* You might be hidden behind another group of runners
Many races in Ireland have commercial companies providing photographic services. These companies may have managed to take your photograph.

This is a photograph from the 6th annual running of the Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were promoted and hosted by Bohermeen Athletic Club at Bohermeen, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 11th of March 2018 at 11:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The 10KM race just completes the 2nd part of the half marathon. The finish line is on the running track within Bohermeen Community Center. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. In 2016 the original course was 'reversed' which just meant that the traditional course changed to accommodate the large number of participants and the narrow country roads on which both the race participants and race traffic must both share before, during and after the race. Most runners agreed that this made the course much faster as a result. This year there was a total of over 1,000 participants in both races.
The other great variable in road racing - the weather - was dry, clear and compared to recent weeks unseasonably warm. At several parts of the course there was a slight headwind which made these sections that little more difficult. Temperatures were around 10C-12C.
The race also includes the 45th Rennicks Cup (Men's overall team) and the 42nd Father Delany Cup (Women's overall team).
Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. Having now organised the event for six years running it is certain that the event will continue to grow and expand become one of the mainstays on the Irish athletic club road racing calendar for many years to come.
This race takes place about one month after the Supervalu 10 Mile Road Race in Trim (just down the road from Bohermeen). Indeed these races truly kick-start the whole road racing season of fixtures amongst the clubs in Meath who are now famous for the quality and standard of the road races staged and organised.
The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area. McNally Logistics and Transportation are the main sponsors of this year's event. The company specialises in national and international haulage.

This is a photograph from the Ringtown Hurling Club Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races, fun runs, and walks which were held in Whitehall, Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Easter Monday (April 6th 2015) at 11:00 and 11:15 respectively. Ringtown Hurling club is situated in Whitehall which is on the R394 between Mullingar and Castlepollard. The half marathon started outside the GAA club. The 10KM race started about 1KM away from the start/finish area. Both races shared the same route. The race event was also a fundraiser for the charity TEAM (Temporary Emergency Accomodation Mullingar) which provides emergency accomodation for women and children of the midlands who are subject of domestic and sexual violence. They are located at Teach Fáilte, Green Road, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. 55 participants took part in the Half marathon while approximately 85 participants took part in the 10KM.

The half marathon started at the GAA club. The main loop of 6 miles started here at the GAA club and proceeded around some beautiful rural back roads with major turns at [goo.gl/maps/8Iw9S], [goo.gl/maps/in6yE], and [goo.gl/maps/JJzwM] before joining up with the R394 and Castlepollard and returning back to Ringtown/Whitehall. The 10KM race was held on this same route but having departed before the half marathon the participants were mostly infront of the main field in the half marathon.
This was the GAA club's second hosting of this event and the overwhelming reaction of participants was that it went perfectly again following on from last year's very successful event. There was a team of Motorcycle outriders and Gardai who expertly controlled traffic flow (particularly along the very busy R394) and made for very safe running conditions for all participants. There was a wonderful selection of refreshments provided afterwards and maybe people were able to sit out in the sun and enjoy a well earned rest after the race. Shower facilities were provided in the GAA club.

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.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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've been running in these for almost 2 and a half weeks and it shows. These things have been treating me great, my lower legs feel awesome. Who knows how long they'll last.
