Press Relese Race Saturday Planning is almost complete and the Rockets have been busy of late around Lough Muckno in Castleblayney completing the final preparations for the inaugural Blayney Rockets AC 10 mile road race on Saturday next. Support for the event has been massive both locally and further afield since it was originally planned earlier this year. The course has been measured and certified. The race will be chip timed and we will have medals for all finishers. We will have prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Male and Female and also for the first placed male and female finishers in the over 35, 40, 45, 50 & 55 categories. A warm Castleblayney welcome is assured for all participants and supporters!
