Online registration for Dundalk 10k closes tonight

Online registration for this Wednesday’s Dundalk 10k closes at midnight and event organisers are encouraging anyone who intends to avail of the online discount to visit www.Dundalk10k.com as soon as possible.

The 2015 route will take participants from the DkIT Campus, through the picturesque village of Blackrock and along the rustic beauty of Dundalk Bay before returning back to the finish line where runners can enjoy complimentary refreshments.

Runners who participated in the trial run last Wednesday were extremely pleased with the new route especially, as local man Sean McKenna described it, “the pleasant sea breeze from Dundalk Bay which helps to cool you down on the home stretch.”

The event is open to participants of all fitness levels and is sponsored by Servisource Recruitment and Fyffes. The Dundalk 10k race begins on Wednesday at 7pm and runners are invited to a pre-race warm up routine which will be hosted at the start line from 6.30pm.

Pre-race online registration costs just €20, as online entrants receive a €5 discount, while race day registration costs €25. This includes chipping, a race number and a free Dundalk 10k t-shirt for the first 800 entrants.

DkIT is hosting a registration day on Tuesday from 4pm-8pm, where participants can pick up race numbers and t-shirts, while race day registration takes place from 2pm-6pm.

Silverware, silverware everywhere in Dundalk

Not a bad haul!

Former Armagh footballer Steven McDonnell posted this pictured on his Twitter account earlier today of the silverware recently won by Dundalk FC, Dundalk Rugby Club, St Patrick’s GFC, Clontibret and Sean O’Mahony’s.

With the exception of the Monaghan side, all these trophies were won on a local level with the Point Road, Carrick Road and Mill Road all well stocked with silverware for at least the next few months.
