Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Westport, Co. Mayo 5k

Cavey Imagine my wife's delight as we're wondering around the beautiful town of Wesport, Co. Mayo, on Christmas Eve, when I see a poster advertising a 5k race in the town on St. Stephen's Day (Boxing Day). Luckily i'd bought my running kit against a considerable amount of pressure from 'her indoors'. Ordinarily it wouldn't have been too much of an issue but the cottage we are staying in is on an island 5 miles from Westport, neither of us drive, and the island is only accessible at low tide. See you can see why she may have been slightly annoyed at the prospect of getting up at 6am for a 10 mile round trek!! Anyway, as for the race. It was a small field of maybe 50-60. Half of whom were doing it as a walk rather than a run. There was a bit of confusion at the start, but once underway it was a nice flat course past Westport House around the Quay and back. I was surprised with my time as I hadn't had the usual race preparations (I don't think 8 cans of Guiness the night before counts!) And I had my highest ever race placing of 15th (ok there were only probably about 25-30 people running, but thats not what I need to tell my mates!!)
