SuperValu Winter League
 
The SuperValu Winter League continues in Kildalton College, Piltown, every Tuesday evening with a 7pm sharp starting time for the first group of runners.All who participated in the 'mass start' run will now have been assigned a starting time- you can see these on display at registration each week.Runners will begin the 5km at two-minute intervals with the fastest runners starting last.
All athletes are reminded to wear their race numbers and a high-viz vest every week.We also ask that each participant volunteer for stewarding or timing on at least one Tuesday evening.This ensures that every body completes the requisite number of runs in order to register a score.
