Fields of Athenry 10km
2021-12-26 11:00 - 13:00 (Europe/Dublin)
It’s baaaaaack!!!!! Fields of Athenry 10km
With government proposing to ease all restrictions by October, we are looking forward to hosting our annual Fields of Athenry 10km road race this St. Stephens Day, Sunday 26th December 2021, as ever, finishing under the famous arch in Athenry.
For now, we are proceeding on the basis that the race will go ahead with little to no restrictions and are looking forward to welcoming back all our old (and new) friends who make this event a pilgrimage each year.
This race has always held a great social element for many entrants, with groups of friends and family using the race as a yearly get together (and often finishing down the town with a few scoops afterwards). After the last 18 months we’ve endured, I think this is needed more now than ever before.
Early bird entry of €20 is open at the link below until the end of September after which it increases to €25. Entries close on Thursday 23rd December @ 22.00pm And of course all entrants will receive our famous woolly hat!
Can’t wait to see you all at Christmas!! (Did I just say the C word?!)

Mullingar Marathon Mind
2021-11-13 08:00 - 17:00
Niall Breslin challenges the nation to join him and four newbie runners as they embark on one of the most testing of all endurance events, a Marathon; 26.2 miles starting in Niall’s hometown of Mullingar.

In March 2021, Niall, alongside a team of passionate professionals, began coaching, training and mentoring four individuals to complete a 26.2 mile marathon in a series called ‘Marathon Mind’, and has been documenting every step, setback and drop of sweat exclusively on Niall’s award-winning Where Is My Mind podcast. The aim of the series has been to train the mind to make the body strong, not the other way around – and to invite listeners to join on their own journey, too.

The culmination of the ‘Marathon Mind’ journey will bring together the four individuals at the centre of the podcast series, each with their own unique challenges in life, to end their journey and complete 26.2 miles of mental, emotional and physical endurance. And Niall, and other podcast listeners who have been following their journey too, will be with them for every step.

After a lengthy selection process with over 800 applicants, the Marathon Mind team of experts selected four individuals with powerful personal stories and who had overcome significant adversity in their lives and were looking for a challenge to focus on.

The individuals at the centre of the Marathon Mind journey and leading out the marathon in November are:
Marion Russell Glengarrif, Co. Cork
Michelle McDonnell Brehony Keash, Co. Sligo
Danny Leahy Cork City, Co. Cork
Phelim Gallagher Dublin/Co. Galway

Over the nine months these four brave souls have been coached by an incredible team of focused and driven individuals which consists of Olympians and world champions.
The ‘Marathon Mind’ expert team consists of:

Chartered Psychologist – Louize Carroll
Mindfulness Coach – Niall Breslin
Olympian, World Champion and Marathon Coach – Rob Heffernan
Olympian, Strength and Conditioning and Physiotherapy Coach – Colin Griffin
Sports Agent and Athlete Liaison – Derry McVeigh
Head of Performance Sport at the Irish Institute of Sport, Dietician – Sharon Madigan
Behavioural Neuroscientist and Chartered Psychologist – Dr. Michael Keane

‘The Marathon’ event itself will take place on Saturday 13th November 2021 and will start and finish at Columb Barracks Mullingar while taking in the Old Rail Trail Greenway, Royal Canal Greenway and the shores of Lough Ennell. Niall and the Marathon Mind team would love others to take on the Marathon challenge too, and people can register for their place in the race from Wednesday 28th July 2021. The link will be shared across Niall’s and the Marathon Mind socials. If people want to come cheer the team on the sidelines, they can follow the journey on the Marathon Mind social media and see the detailed map of the route closer to the date.

Speaking about working with the four participants Niall says, “I am blown away by the commitment of these four incredible individuals to a really tough, sometimes gruelling, regime. They’ve been absolute legends all four of them – facing the toughest mental and physical battles and pushing through – I can’t wait to smash the finish line with them and everyone else who joins us on the day.”

Speaking on partnering with Marathon Mind, Daithi O’Connor Founder and MD of Revive Active said:

“We are delighted to be a part of the very first Marathon Mind in Mullingar. Having opened our Revive Active production plant here just 3 years ago and created local employment we are very much at home in Mullingar. We look forward to welcoming over 1000 athletes to Mullingar and supporting their journey along the way”

Marathon Mind has been an exciting venture for the Where Is My Mind podcast and the series were some of the most-listened to episodes this year. The podcast explores different coping skills for the ever-changing, always-on, head-melty world we’re now living in; from hormones, to politics, to tattooing, to managing rage, to uncovering what goes on in the therapy room. This year, Niall has spoken to some incredible guests, from An Taoiseach Michael Martin, to Mike Ryan (WHO), to global mindfulness guru Dan Harris. The podcast won creative podcast of the year at the British Podcast Awards in July 2020.

First, second and third place prizes will be awarded for men and women in each race, plus multiple age category winners. The top prizes in the 10 Mile race (men and women), are €200 cash plus a perpetual trophy, with €150 cash plus a perpetual trophy for the 8k race. These are amongst the best prizes on offer for road racing in the west.
In compliance with Athletics Ireland Covid protocols, only online registrations are permitted. Entry for the 8k race is €20 until 30th September (early bird rate) and €25 thereafter. Entry for the 10 mile race is €30 until 30th September (early bird race) and €35 thereafter.
Further details are available from our facebook page – Corofin AC or email Niamh on corofinrunners@hotmail.com

Run For Mary 2021
2021-11-06 10:00 - 14:00
Venue: Peterswell Village, Co Galway
This is our 8th year running this event which has been organised in memory of our dear friend Mary Prendergast who passed away on 2nd January 2014 aged 42 years. Mary was a member of our local South Galway Athletics club and ran the Dublin City Marathon with us in 2004. Mary and Paddy got married in 2004 and were blessed to have three children Carlyn, Roslyn and Zach. Baby Zach passed away when he was only one week old on June 4th 2012. Mary was diagnosed with cancer five months after loss of her baby Zach. Her courage and dignity during her battle with breast cancer was inspiring to all who knew her.
All proceeds from this fundraising event will go to two local charities: Galway Hospice and Hand in Hand Children’s Cancer Charity. Hand in Hand is a non-profit organisation based in Galway since 2006 that supports families who are affected by childhood cancer throughout Ireland. Their aim is to alleviate some of the stress, anxiety and practical difficulties faced by families who have a child undergoing treatment for cancer, through the provision of practical (laundry, childcare, domestic cleaning and family meals) and emotional support. We are welcoming all athletes, runners, joggers and walkers of all ages and abilities to attend this memorial event.
Registration for the event can be done on Run Ireland. Please see details of race registration below! Please find and like us on Facebook & invite your friends and family www.facebook.com/Run4Mary

Mullingar Half Marathon 2021
2021-09-25 10:30 - 15:00
ABOUT US

We believe in the power of running for everyone, from beginners to elite athletes. This flat course is ideal for your first half marathon or to achieve your personal best. The Mullingar Half Marathon starts in the town center, runs out to the countryside, along the Royal Canal and back to the Mullingar Town Park to the finish line.
All proceeds of the Mullingar Half Marathon go to our chosen charity T.E.A.M. (Temporary Emergency Accommodation Midlands).

Racers Recieve

While the 2020 Mullingar Half Marathon, scheduled for March 17th, had to be postponed only weeks before the event, due to Covid, the Mullingar Half Marathon organising committee put in a huge amount of work and committed a lot of expenditure putting everything in place in advance of the event.
In light of this and in keeping with our move to a more sustainable event, and our ultimate objective to raise much needed funds for local charity T.E.A.M., we are going to utilise the 2020 merchandise for the upcoming 2021 event. This includes finishers medals and t-shirts, which include the March 2020 date.
While a big objective of the race is to create an enjoyable event for all runners we must also be mindful of our commitment to our local charity T.E.A.M. and be considerate of their fundraising shortfall in 2020.
Like us, a lot of you were disappointed the race couldn’t go ahead last year and couldn’t get your 2020 medals and t-shirts so we hope you will understand and support us in our sustainable and financial decision for utilising the fantastic 2020 merchandise.

Event Information:

This year we celebrate the 40th Echo Women’s Mini Marathon. We are happy to announce with organisers Cork Athletics Association that the event will take place as virtual offering again this year and we are hoping that as many people will take part to help support the many Cork charities that depend on the event’s participants who raise much needed funds every year. Cork Athletics will work closely with relevant authorities and Sport Ireland and if it becomes clearer in coming weeks and months that a live event element may become a possibility for September, they will consider all options and public safety advice before making a decision and announcement regarding this and all participants who register for the virtual event will be given to option to upgrade their registration.
The event is 6km and you can complete that however you want either by walking, running or jogging in your back garden!
In the event that the live race cannot go ahead again this year, we encourage you to join us virtually in the spirit of the event on what would have been race day on September 19 and complete your 6k, (We ask that you adhere to all government guidelines regarding public safety and social distancing that are in place at the time when completing your 6K).
The results portal will be open from September 16, if you can’t complete your 6K on September 19 you can also do it from September 16 – September 26. You can upload your results here and download a certificate of completion.
We hope that the people of Cork will continue to support this fantastic event as they have always done over the past 40 years. Best of luck!
