This is a photograph from the 4th Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 8th March 2015 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. A 10KM race was also held and started one hour before the half marathon. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 1,168 with this being a record for both races. The half marathon had 843 entrants while the 10KM race had 325 entrants. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal in 2015. 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.

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.

This is a photograph from the Longwood GAA 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs 2014 which were held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 19th October 2014 at 11:00. This is the fifth year which Longwood GAA have hosted race events. This year's event was an outstanding success with the number of participants doubling over last year's final numbers. There were almost 400 participants in both events with 224 in the 10KM and 166 in the 5KM. In the first three previous years the club had organised a 5KM road race. The events were organised as fundraisers for both the adult and juvenille teams at Longwood GAA club. The event also provided a fundraising opportunity for the local St. Vincent de Paul charity. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the event. There were photographs taken at the start of the races and the finishes of both races in Longwood GAA. The full set is available at this link www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157648845224981/
Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.
Timing and event management was provided by Precision Timing.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were about 400 participants over the two events.
Weather: The weather was very breezy but dry. The temperatures around 10C.
5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Stoney's Pub (goo.gl/maps/Of4fW) and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

Today Caitriona Jennings (Rathfarnam AC) won the Flora Women’s Mini-Marathon. The 30-year-old from Letterkenny crossed the line in a time of 35m29s.
The Dublin Women's Mini Marathon, known currently as the Flora Women's Mini Marathon due to a title sponsorship deal, is an annual charity road race ran each June Bank Holiday Monday in Ireland. The event is an all-female mini marathon over 10 km in the country's capital, Dublin.
First run in 1983, this event has seen its numbers rise through the years, with 31,000 women recorded racing in 2001 and, for the sixth consecutive year, upwards of 40,000 women participating in the most recent mini-marathon on June 6th 2011. Those to have won the race include Kenya's Magdaline Chemjor and Irish Olympic silver medalist, Sonia O'Sullivan, whose 2000 record time of 31 minutes and 28 seconds has yet to be beaten. Over €123 million has been raised for charity and a total of over half a million women have run the race, some doing so each year since the beginning.
It is the biggest single day charity event in Ireland and the biggest all-female event of its type in the world.
Oct. 23, 2010, Klara Lavoie and brother Alex Lavoie are running the new "9 Run Run" half-marathon race in the woods near Stittsville (Ottawa).

Ottawa's second Emergency Service event this weekend
Posted on Oct 20, 2011 by Shad Qadri
On Oct. 22, 2011, families and friends will be running/walking in a Half Marathon, 10k or 3 K Family Fun Walk/Run as part of the City's second annual 9 Run Run.
Last year 9 RUN RUN raised an outstanding $16,911.10 for youth substance abuse. This year 9 RUN RUN, inspired by D.I.F.D. (Do it for Daron), is honoured to support The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre "Youth Mental Health Awareness Study & Early Intervention Research Project" which will be conducted throughout schools across our region.

9 Run Run' coming to Stittsville
by: Tiffany Williams-Lepack, Aug. 5, 2010
EMC Sports - Running can become a love-hate relationship for some people.
For Ottawa Police chief Vern White, he wanted to prove to himself that he could run a marathon. Last year he completed his goal running in the 28th Wineglass Marathon in Corning, New York finishing with a time of 4:20:10.
White explains that he used to hate running like some people hate eating their vegetables. He feels the training was especially tough. Today he doesn't know if he loves running but he can see and feel a difference.
"I spent the first 50 years of my life saying there was no way I could ever run a marathon. I don't know if 'enjoy' is the right word but I enjoyed the experience and thrill and emotions afterwards. The training might have been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, I have to be honest," said White.
This year his goal is to run 12 half marathons in the span of 12 months. Thus far he has run five.
He was discussing his goal in a casual conversation with Stittsville councillor Shad Qadri and that there was a need for a run like this. Qadri then handed the ball over to the person who he thought would do a good job organizing the event, Brenda Tirell. The wheels were put in motion and the inaugural 9-Run-Run was created.
The Ottawa Emergency Services run will take place on Oct. 23 and will feature a half marathon and a 3 km family fun run/walk. Qadri thinks she has done an excellent job and he is happy to work with the emergency services in the run. "It's a good venture for our community, we are a young community and we want to be active. This 9 Run Run, I think will do that and will bring the three emergency services together and say, 'Come on community come on and join us," said Qadri.
Tirrell, race director, is a firefighter in Stittsville and wanted to have all of the emergency services involved.
"I'm really excited about it and the support from business and running community has been tremendous," said Tirrell.
With all three emergency services involved, White feels there will be a bit of a friendly competition going on as well.
"I think we can beat them in the run, if we can't, then nothing else our relationship with both services are very strong but a very competitive relationship," said White. "I thought it would be fun to play around a little bit and at the same time hopefully teach them a lesson in running"
The event will support the building of the Meadow Creek Rehabilitation Centre in Carp, part of the Support Treatment Education Prevention (STEP) program. The program helps address the need for residential substance abuse treatment, education and prevention for young people between the ages of 13 and 17.
Tirrell believes it is an event for the whole community and even those who are not runners can come out.
"With the family fun run-want to encourage families and kids to come out and run 3 km
There is something for everyone, if you don't want to walk or run people can come out and volunteer or cheer," said Tirrell
Tirrell thinks the event promotes a healthy lifestyle and a great way for the three services to work together. She also feels it is great that for most part the participants will be running on country roads. A sentiment echoed by White.
"I think it gives us an opportunity to celebrate a different part of the city and a part a lot of visitors don't see and even a lot of Ottawa citizens who may live in the east end may not see. They will see the Trans Canada trail, which is spectacular they will get to run most on trail but they will also get to see what Stittsville has to offer the community," said White. "I think it will be for a lot of people a bit of an eye opener, people will see that Stittsville is a lot bigger than it used to be, it's gone from being a little bit of a sleepy hollow town to a bustling community."
He hopes everyone will come out and cheer on the runners because everyone needs someone yelling go so they don't give up midway through.
The race will start at the Goulbourn Recreation Centre on Shea Road, then they will turn on Stittsville Main Street until they hit Flewellyn Road to Lucas Lane and follows the Trans Canada Trail back to the GRC.

9 RUN RUN coming up in Stittsville /First annual Emergency Services Run
article from Your Ottawa Region, John Curry
Stittsville, Ontario - Eight hundred half marathoners and another 300 in the 3K Family Fun walk/run. That’s going to be a lot of feet hitting the ground in the first annual 9 RUN RUN in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 23.
But this is the goal for organizers of this inaugural event being held to raise funds for Project s.t.e.p., a support, treatment, education and prevention initiative to combat substance abuse among young people.
Race director Brenda Tirrell told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at their Sept. 28 meeting that registration for the half marathon event is now just under the halfway mark for the planned 800 runners. Runners from as far away as Fort McMurray and Quebec City have registered. She expressed confidence that 800 runners will register for the half marathon.
As far as the 3K Family Fun walk/run is concerned, about 150 participants are now registered and hopes are still high that the projected 300 participant goal will be met.
There is to be a major push coming through A Channel, flyers and other means to reach this registration total.
Both the half marathon and the 3K Family Fun walk/run will start from Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville.
The half marathon will follow a route involving Abbott Street, Stittsville Main Street, Flewellyn Road, Munster Road, Fernbank Road, Jinkinson Road and the Trans Canada Trail back to Stittsville. Including the Trans Canada Trail in the route makes this a unique experience for half marathon runners.
The idea of holding this first-ever 9 RUN RUN emergency services run came about as a result of Ottawa Police Services chief Vern White having the goal of running in a number of marathons this year. In addition, chief White is heavily involved in promoting Project s.t.e.p. and healthy living in general.
This all led to the idea of holding a local half marathon and after various dates were investigated, including some as early as July, the Saturday, Oct. 23 date was decided upon.
The name 9 RUN RUN came about thanks to Ben von Jagow of Stittsville whose mother, Karen, is a running partner of Brenda Tirrell. It was being called the Ottawa Emergency Services Run in its early planning stages until Ben made the suggestion that it be called the 9 RUN RUN, a takeoff on the 9-1-1 phone number that is called to access emergency services.
“We thought that was very clever of Ben,” Brenda said in her presentation to the Rotary Club and the 9 RUN RUN name was adopted.
The three emergency services, fire, police and paramedic service, are all supporting the event and will be involved. There have also been corporate sponsors who have come on board such as Bradley’s Insurance, BMO Nesbitt Burns, Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty, McDonald’s (Stittsville and Kanata), Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited, Kunstadt Sports, Creo Marketing, the Running Room, Bob FM 93.9, the A Channel, Zoom Photo, the city of Ottawa and Popeye’s Supplements.
The Stittsville Rotarians are also going to be involved in some way. A Shelter Box, the disaster relief program which the Rotary Club in Stittsville has been supporting, may be set up along the route. Rotary Club members may also be staffing one of the water stations along the route.
But there is going to be more at this 9 RUN RUN event than just running and walking. There will be the Chief’s Chili Cookoff, a friendly event that will test rival recipes. Participants will be able to enjoy the results of this cookoff as part of their free post-race lunch.
The Ottawa Paramedic Service’s trauma rescue unit will be on site for viewing, as will Ottawa Fire Service vehicles and the Ottawa Police Service’s canine unit.
The half marathon run will be starting at 9 a.m. while the Family Fun walk/run will get underway at 9:30 a.m.
Registration is now open at www.runrun.ca or at www.events.runningroom.com. Registration fees for the half marathon are $70 per person while the registration fee for the 3K Family Fun walk/run is $20 per participant.
The registration includes not only the event itself but a free post race BBQ with the chili, a free long sleeve technical t-shirt for the half marathon or a free cotton t-shirt for the Family Fun run/walk, a free iRun magazine subscription and free medals. Everyone will also be eligible for a door prize draw.

9 Run Run Event Raises $16,911
By Tiffany Williams-Lepack, EMC News - posted Nov. 18, 2010
It was a five alarm success as runners and walkers raised $16,911 for charity in the first ever 9 Run Run on Oct. 23.
The emergency services half marathon and 3 km family walk/run was in support of the building of the Meadow Creek Rehabilitation Centre in Carp as part of Project s.t.e.p. (support, treatment, education and prevention) and the official cheque presentation was made on Nov. 9 at Ottawa City Hall.
The race came about as part of Ottawa Police chief Vern White's goal to run a half marathon each month and through the hard work and dedication of more than 140 volunteers the race went off with only a few small glitches.
White was amazed at the success of the event as it was bigger than he thought it would be.
"I thought it was going to be a great event and we would get a couple hundred people, raise a little bit of money and raise a fair amount of awareness," said White. "Instead we had almost 900 people, raised a fair amount of money and I think raised a lot of awareness, particularly in that area of the community. People downtown hear about and have these discussions a lot but in the west end it's not on everyone's lips so I thought it was great."
This was his tenth half-marathon of 2010 and White admits that with a time of two hours and ten minutes it was slow. But he enjoyed chatting with the many volunteers, thanking as many of them as he could.
Race director Brenda Tirrell thought it was a fantastic event due to all the volunteers and support from the community. She was especially excited with the many signs that local businesses put up welcoming runners and walkers to the community.
Stittsville councillor Shad Qadri gives the credit to Tirrell and her team of organizers and is looking forward to next year. He hopes he is well enough to participate. He was pleased with the turnout with participants from right across the city and the surrounding areas as well as the large emergency service presence.
"What a way to showcase our emergency services to the community to say look we don't just keep you protected but we make you a community and participate in the community," said Qadri.
Tirrell says they learned a few things and are looking to add a 5 or 10 km run for next year and dealing with a lunch issue.
"We learned to serve the food a bit earlier," she said with a laugh.
"People are always hungry."
Everyone was impressed with the police, fire and paramedic presence and she felt it was important for them to be there.
"There was a lot of police brass and tremendous coverage by paramedics. They were at every water station which was pretty much unheard of," said Tirrell. "It was their event, they understood that they needed to showcase what they had. It was great to have the fire presence there too with their truck."
Other suggestions for next year include working more with OC Transpo and Ottawa Police to ensure that road closures are a minimum.
The race winner, Rick Hillier of Ottawa, also ran into a small problem at the finish line.
"He ran past because, here's a little glitch or learning curve that we had, with about 20 metres left we didn't direct them in the right way and he went past the finish and turned around and came back and still finished first," said Tirrell.
"He took it all in stride and was laughing about it, a great sport about it. The first, second and third were so close they all went by it and came back and all thought it was quite funny, they took it all in stride."
She was also impressed that for such a small event they had Dr. John Hooper as their medical director who stayed on site all day in case he was needed.
Overall everyone was quite surprised with the amount of money the race raised and how smoothly it ran.
"We had initially hoped to raise about $10,000 so next year it's only going to get bigger and the cheque is going to get bigger. Hopefully our expenses will be a little bit less. The first year there is a learning curve," said Tirrell.
"We wanted to make sure we did it right the first year and hope that people will come back next year."
Planning is already under way for next year's race on Oct.22, 2011 at Sacred Heart Catholic High School.
Shot cottons always inspire me! The colors, variety and feel - is heaven! I love this design and how it is simple, yet has a classy and elegant feel to it. The design would be great in any dining room, the variety of colors match any decor and the statement is modern!
I think you can add any accessory to this style! It isn't limited to one theme..one color...one style! having something that you can 'dress up or dress down' is a big plus!
2020 was a crazy year. We graduated a senior and his year was basically cut short. Took some senior photos but never really posted so here are a few only a few months late. There were a few bright spots in 2020.

Kayla O’Mara Memorial Road Race 5K run on August 6, 2011 in Goodrich, MI. Pictures may be downloaded for personal use.
The SPAR Great Ireland Run 2013 was held in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland on Sunday 14th April 2013 at 13:10 and 13:30 respectively. The Great Ireland Run is now probably the largest 10KM running event in Ireland. The race also incorporates the AAI National 10km Championships. This category is for club athletes in Ireland only. However, there is also the main field race where anyone, regardless of being with an athletic club or not, can enter and race. The elite women and club women's race started at 13:10 whilst the male club and main field event started at 13:30. The race starts on Chesterfield Avenue and takes a clockwise route - first over to the Blackhorse Avenue sid of the park, crossing Chesterfield avenue again. The race then descends down the Kyber pass before the runners must take the challenge of the famous S-Bends on the Chapelizod side including a steep climb at 7KM. Finally the race winds its way around the Furry Glen, before finishing very close to the starting point of the race.
These photographs are taken at the 7 KM marker on Chapelizod Hill. They are from the time period 13:35 (leading elite women) until all waves have passed this point (approximately 14:42). There are no start or finish line photographs.

I really enjoyed taking these photographs. It is the first time in a long time where I have been able to photograph a race I was not participating in. It was a really great experience. Despite the tough course and the horrible head winds I got so many nods and "hellos" from hundreds of runners I knew there and from thousands of others I have yet to get to know ;-) It is a really great event.

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.
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.

Once home to the biggest diesels on earth, UP's DD40AX's and Big Blow turbines, is now the home to UTA's Front Runner shops where all passenger car work and locomotive work is done in Salt Lake City UT. This was by far the cleanest and most well organized shop I have ever been to. Photo was taken on Private Property with permission. Here #7 sits inside for the weekend with a group of Passenger cars.
I'd assume it's a carousel ride where a child sits on either Road Runner or Wile E Coyote. I think it's manufactured by Cogan and as for the sign he's holding, for a long time I thought it's "Meep Meep!" not "Beep! Beep!"
I took this photograph at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2018. It's a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner which has a 383 cu in (6.3 litre) V8 engine. It's a First Generation model which was produced from 1968 to 1970 and the Second and Third Generations continued the line until 1980.
43028 and 43097 are both seen at Bristol Temple Meads before running services to London Paddington. Observed on 20th February 2016.
This Sunday I went to Mexilhoeira beach by the end of the day. An (almost) new moon tide and a fogy weather, kept most people of the beach, leaving an endless and almost immaculate extension of sand for me and my surf rods. By sunset this runner and I where the only souls on sight : )
