Strong International Fields

Athenry Athletic Club, www.High5.ie and The Irish Milers Clubare pleased to announce strong fields for the invitational races at their co-sponsored track and field meeting scheduled for Saturday the 8th of July next. These fields are not final as organisers are still in touch with a number of other interested athletes and entries may still be accepted from qualifying runners.

In particular the organisers are interested in hearing from female runners who may wish to compete in the Invitational 3,000m race. Prize money will be awarded to the first three finishers in all of the invitational races.

Open Races ”“ Places Still Available

In addition to the invitational races mentioned above there will also be a number of open races on the night specifically aimed at the casual or club runner and places still remain available in some of these races. There will be open mile races for men and women as well as a 5,000m for men and a 3,000m for women. No experience of racing on a track is necessary to take part and once again entries would be particularly welcome from female runners of all standards.
