SuperValu Winter League Returns!
Carrick AC is very pleased to announce that the very popular Winter League, kindly sponsored by SuperValu, Carrick-on-Suir, will commence with a registration evening at Kildalton College, Piltown, on this Tuesday, October 1st. As in previous years, there will be a one-off registration fee of €5 for each runner and thereafter the entry is just €3 every week. This league is run over a very safe and well-lit five-kilometre route within the college grounds. It affords seasoned runners, novices and complete beginners the ideal opportunity to meet and train at a time of year when it can be difficult to train consistently on the roads due to the shortened hours of daylight. Registration will be from 6:30pm this Tuesday and runners may wish to have a trial run over the course. On Tuesday, October 8th, there will be a 'mass start' and all runners will be timed over the route. Thereafter, a handicap system will be put in place where groups of runners will start the course at two-minute intervals. The league will continue every Tuesday with the first group commencing at 7 pm sharp. The final run will take place on Tuesday, December 17th. Carrick AC would like to thank SuperValu, Carrick-on-Suir, for their continued sponsorship and Kildalton College for the use of their grounds and facilities. Please remember that a reflective bib must be worn during any Winter League run. For further information please contact Alan (051-641826), Mark (086-1608165) or Catherine (086-8774531).
