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.

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.

MEDALS: We have a bespoke medal for this race
This race has an entry limit. We expect it will be popular!!
The race is located along the scenic settings of the Grand Canal and around the newly surfaced perimeter of Grange Castle business park. It has that country feel on the edge of the city. It is a flat course with long straight lines. The route has an elevation gain of 27m over 10km. Not bad eh…..
Start time 9.00am
Here is a visual from MapmyRun of the elevation. You’ll notice it isn’t pancake flat but judging by the elevation line – there is nothing major in the hill department.

What does that red elevation line look like in the real world?
We will have a bike rack for bikes (at owners risk) and full race information closer to the race
Official car park is the Mill Shopping Centre in Clondalkin.
Race number pick-up will be announced closer to the race (you will be able to pick up on the morning of the race at the start area)
The course has been officially measured with a Jones Counter by a certified measurer.
Go out, be active, and most of all enjoy!

Corofin Loops - 8k and 10 Mile
2021-11-07 09:00 - 12:00
After a COVID enforced break in 2020, the annual Corofin Loops races are back this year!
Once again Corofin Athletic Club are offering two options, an 8k race over a very flat course, and a 10 mile race that is a little more challenging, but nothing too steep or taxing!
The 10 mile race will start at 9am with the 8k starting at 9.30am. Please note the early start, which has been chosen to take advantage of quiet roads at that time on a Sunday morning. The good news is that you should all be home well before lunchtime to enjoy the rest of your day (or soak your weary bones in a bath!!)
Race entrants for both races are asked to assemble at the local Community Centre (Dr. Duggan Hall) 15 mins prior to the start of their chosen race.
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
Numbers for each race are limited to 200, again in accordance with Athletic Ireland protocols.
Hope to see you there, and good to be back.

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
