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. 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.

Mosaics offer a vivid picture of ancient Roman life. 1. Roman mosaics were meant to be walked on. Paintings covered the interior walls of Roman villas but weren’t practical for decorating floors. 2. They’re interactive. Mosaics are designed to be seen from different angles and to change as your perspective moves. 3. The Romans perfected mosaics as an art form. The Greeks refined the art of figural mosaics by embedding pebbles in mortar. The Romans took the art form to the next level by using tesserae (cubes of stone, ceramic, or glass) to form intricate, colorful designs. 4. Mosaics are full of drama and violence. Action scenes, violent hunts, exotic creatures, and angsty mythological episodes are all frequent subjects on mosaics. The dramatic scene below, for example, shows a lion sinking its fangs into the haunch of a fleeing bull. 5. Mosaics were symbols of wealth and status. Blending art and home décor, Roman mosaics were commissioned to adorn and impress guests inside private homes and villas. Wealthy Romans chose themes to reflect their status: mythological stories would show off a man’s book learning, while scenes of wild animals being captured for fights in the arena might highlight his sponsorship of public games. 6. To get special colors, mosaic artists used glass and imported stones. Mosaic artisans relied on local stones for the bulk of their work but imported unusual colors for special highlights. When no stone would do, they turned to glass in bright colors like blue and green. 7. They’re as brightly colored now as they were 2,000 years ago. Mosaics are made of stone and glass, which fade hardly at all. 8. The most detailed Roman mosaics use small stones to achieve an effect like brushstrokes. Especially in the eastern provinces of the Roman empire, artists “painted” with stone, using small, vivid tesserae that resemble Pointillist daubs of pigment. 9. Mosaics tell us about ancient history. Mosaics are significant not only as art, but as evidence of where and how people lived, worked, and thought. The locations and architectural settings of many mosaics have been recorded over the centuries by archaeologists, helping illuminate their cultural context. 10. Many mosaics lay under the soil for thousands of years. Because they are built into the foundations of buildings, mosaics are among the best-preserved of all forms of Roman art. Frescoes were knocked down and bronze sculptures melted for reuse, but countryside ruins often sat undisturbed for centuries under layers of soil and vegetation. 11. The Romans sometimes redecorated, adding new mosaics on top of old ones. The Roman rich weren’t so different from those today—they liked to update. This mosaic of the Medusa was found on top of another mosaic of a marine scene. Instead of demoing the original floor, the contractors just put the new one on top. 12. Where the Romans went, so did mosaics. The spread of mosaics parallels the vast spread of Roman power, from France to Syria to Tunisia. And like the rest of Roman culture, mosaics in different places reveal a combination of local traditions and Roman influence. 13. Just like music and fashion today, mosaic styles had their fads. In Italy and Gaul (France) in the first century A.D., black and white mosaics came into style—and no one is really sure why. Cost savings? Not likely, since the style makes an appearance at the villa of Roman emperor Hadrian, who could afford the best of the best. 14. Thousands of mosaics still dot the landscape in the Mediterranean Region and North Africa. Partners in the international MOSAIKON initiative are working to improve the conservation, presentation, and management of these mosaics, many of which are still in situ (in their original archaeological locations). 15. Mosaic artists had different styles, which you can see if you look closely. Large mosaics were a massive undertaking, requiring the hands of more than one expert. www.getty.edu/news/a-brief-introduction-to-roman-mosaics/
In December 1862, the town of Fredericksburg, Virginia, suffered under heavy bombardment from Union artillery deployed across the Rappahannock River at Chatham Heights in preparation for the Union invasion. There are two cannonballs from that bombardment still embedded in one of the pillars of this church.

The Cork City Marathon was held in Cork City, Ireland on Monday 4th June 2012. There was a near record level of participation in the marathon, half marathon, and marathon relay. The weather turned out warm to start with but cooled down later in the morning. The support from the people of Cork along the route was fantastic. Congratulations must go to all of the groups and organisations involved in putting on a great days running in Cork City.
This set of photographs does not include all participants in the three races. As we competed in the marathon ourselves it took us a while to get back our cameras. The photographs here are predominantly from the 4 hours plus times in the marathon and 2:15 hours plus in the half marathon.
This is a collection of photographs taken by Peter and Rory Mooney.

On the first 3 days, we trekked in subtropical humidity (200%!) , excruciating heat, and occasional storms. I started with 1 liter of water on my back but very soon, I have to maintain 2 liters to get me from one rest stop to the next, which is usually only one hour apart.
From the village of Tal (arriving on day 3) and on, every major village along the trek would have a safe drinking water station. The scheme was mandated and installed by ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project), funded by a New Zealand group, managed by the locals who receive training from ACAP. It is an effort to reduce plastic bottle disposal on the mountain by the trekkers, thus increase the sustainability of the treks, and also a mean for the locals to increase their income.
