Santa Run an outstanding success for charity

Yet again Waterford Roadrunners have done the business for Charity. Following the Santa run last night and party night in the Mansion House we have raised almost €3000 for the Lions Club Christmas Hamper Appeal.
Thanks to Jacinta and Ann (Pictured above earlier in the night) for selling so many tickets last night and the many others who helped out on the night.

Thanks to Brendan Jackman for the photo above and the gallery of this week shown below:


Waterford Road Runners Winter League Week 6 -- 17 Dec 2009 - Images by Brendan Jackman Photography

Happy Christmas to all our winter league fun runners from all the crew at Waterford Roadrunners and Waterford AC. Six weeks down and five to go! Let us know how its going for you at waterfordroadrunners@gmail.com and thanks again for those of you who took a night out to steward, for those who helped out in the recent very successful Waterford AC annual half marathon either with the stewarding, manning the water stations or serving the tea and coffee! It was much appreciated.

WEP Note no. 6, Wed 16th Dec

Ho Ho Ho, get dressed up for the santa run this week! Wear full outfits to minimal outfits if you dare!

Chip timing still in place so don't forget to wear your high viz and number, as always!

For those who have signed up for the whole series come on upstairs at the RSC from 6:30 to collect your Waterford Roadrunners Tee shirt and bring a few bob to donate to the WLRfm Lions Club Christmas Hamper Appeal if you can.

Also, its party time in the mansion house later so why not come along and celebrate having made it past the half way mark in the 11 week series of the Paddy Byrne 2009 Winter League.

Thanks a millions from Waterford AC to the considerable number of winter leaguers who helped out at the very successful 1/2 marathon on Saturday last. Your efforts were greatly appreciated and contributed to an excellent event allround.

WEP Note no 4 - Dec 2nd

No disturbance to our weekly winter league, and all is looking good for tomorrow night.

A very quick note tonight as ye are all very well informed by now (or so you have being telling us at waterfordroadrunners@gmail.com) and so just keep doing the good work with just a note on single file running as follows:

With the narrow paths in parts of the course it would be of great assistance to all if you could run in single file rather than side by side.

Particularly as you get tired, if you keep to the left hand side of the path and allow others to pass on your right it would allow them to do so without stepping out on to the road.

Keep up the excellent Fun and don't forget there is only 2 weeks to go until the Santa run! More details to follow here and in this week's Munster Express in our notes section.


Comments to waterfordroadrunners@gmail.com :

Thanks for the many comments emailled to us, and keep them coming. A quote from Maria (not her own but she felt it very relevant to herself):

• "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."

Thanks Maria and also to Joe for providing the Caption for our photo, details below.

Thanks to Joe in the city who came up with the best caption for our photo!

"We wore our high viz, no watches, ran on the path all the way, and they still locked us up here!"

Thanks Joe, and of course we are not so strict as to lock people up....or are we?

See ye all tomorrow night and keep up the good work of doing like the girls.
