Now for Dunboyne next Sunday!

Dunboyne AC will host this Sunday's 4th Round of the Meet and Train League.  Registration, car parking, refreshments and showers at the Dunboyne AC clubhouse on Rooske Road, Dunboyne, Co. Meath.   The race route is about a mile from the clubhouse so arrive early to allow time to jog to the start.

Dunboyne AC by car (from Dublin):

Heading north on the N3, take Exit 4 - Clonee/Dunboyne. Continue through Clonee village following signs for Dunboyne. Go through two roundabouts taking the 1st exit (R156) both times. Coming into Dunboyne, you will see Clonee Sawmills to the left. This is where the race course is situated; there are only a few car park spaces here. 
Continue on and after passing Dunboyne train station,  take a left at the traffic lights for  Rooske Road.  On Rooske Road, after you pass the entrance to Dunboyne Castle on your right, you will find Ialos on your right) a large car parking area, with Dunboyne GAA club, Dunboyne AC and Scouts Hall behind it.   You could also park at  Dunboyne Train Station for €3.

* Because of the clash with the national masters' cross-country championships (date only firmed up a few weeks ago),  the Winter League race originally scheduled for next Sunday February 5 in Bushy Park will now take place in Dunboyne.
The final race of the league is still scheduled for February 26; venue to be confirmed (Dunboyne was the original venue). We sincely hope to get back to Bushy Park very soon - thanks to the hard work of Sportsworld, we would be the first group permitted to hold a race there.
Note: At last autumn's  Winter League meeting, our member clubs criticised the constant changing of dates in previous years. As a result, it was overwhemingly agreed that we wouldn't  change dates, even if other races came in on top of us.
