Teams of six with 4 to count. Fee is Eu20 for the four nights . We are investigating the possibility of having singlets for all who pay the Eu20 upfront. This will help publicise the league - and let you look the part!
Established M&T clubs who enter teams MUST supply two helpers during the league. We will put up the list of officials for each event on this site; four are need to take numbers and times at the finish. You can volunteer by clicking on "comment" at the bottom of this posting.
Our good friend Paul Moloney in adidas will provide race numbers, and spot prizes for each race.
The series is designed not just for M&T regulars but for newcomers to running, giving a gentle introduction to racing in the build-up to the Women’s Mini Marathon on Monday 4 June.

Also:

Good news from Athletics Ireland – a new coaching course designed specifically for leaders (or aspiring leaders) of Meet & Train groups has been devised (thanks to Ryan and Brendan for attending last night's meeting). Watch this space!

Plus: we have set provisional dates of 9 December and 13 January for the first two rounds of next season's Winter League. Because we don't know when certain annual fixtures will fall (other organisations aren't as efficient!) , these dates will be confirmed by the latest in the first week of October.
And finally: Sue's mobile number has changed to 086-2327570.
