Carrick Road Runners Athletic Club, Co. Tipperary, Ireland

'My Dress' One-Mile Challenge

With the club's summer series of road races now concluded attention turns to the annual One-Mile Challenge which is once again kindly sponsored by 'My Dress' , Carrick-on-Suir. The challenge will begin on this Tuesday, August 28th and continues for the following four Tuesday evenings with the final run on Tuesday, September 25th. This event provides runners and joggers of all abilities with the opportunity to complete the one mile run for five consecutive weeks. Each week's run is timed and the challenge for all runners is to improve their performance over the distance with a view to stepping up to the 5km of our Winter League. Over the past few years many newcomers to running have enjoyed the one-mile series on their way to competing in their very first road races.  As always, the emphasis will be on the enjoyment to be derived from running or jogging and all are welcome.The run will take place each week at the Sean Kelly Sports Centre with a 6:45pm start.
