November 4th, 2009 admin2009 Winter Series - Week Five
Well done on another great night for racing, great to see some more new faces and tonight we had 80 athletes competing. Please find results attached. Well done to all the winners, great to see some new faces among the prizes.
Race 6 Format – This is a handicap race where the slowest athlete goes off first and the faster athletes go off last. Georgina Gilligan will have the honour of going off first and Richard O Gorman will in the last group to go off. All Athletes will be grouped according to their best times and I will send out the starting times for each group during the week. The race will start at 6.55 pm for the first athlete, so please come along a bit early to make sure that you start in the right group. For all future Races Parking have to be more organised so we ask all athletes to come early and adhere to the stewards instruction.
Race number 7: - Alzheimer Society of Ireland - Home Care Service – Charity Run The November 18th 4k race will be a run in aid of a Special Charity that has a local focus and the Charity selected by the organising committee this year is the Alzheimer Society of Ireland - Home care services. The Home Care Service is a support service for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their carers and family members in the South Tipperary area. This service provides dementia care workers who are assigned to families offering care and support in the home, providing the carer with a welcome and often, desperately needed break from their caring role. So on November 18th all monies donated will be given to this very charitable cause. So anyone can come along on that night and walk the 4k course and help raise much needed funds for this cause.
