Week 1 photos full set


Thanks to Ciaran Fallon for the photos of week 1; Click here for the full set. (Click on 'slideshow' in the top right hand corner for a sit back and review).

Keep an eye out for him tomorrow night and smile for the camera!

NOTE for newcomers: Last week all the ladies and all the gents went off in groups; this week you now have a handicap time.
Check HERE to find out what it is. Insert your bib number or your name and your time from last week will pop up...Also your handicap will come up. That is the number of minutes after the start of the run that you start.

Example: Jim took 22 minutes to do the 2 mile; His handicap is now 3 mins so he starts 3 mins after the first runner. Michael took 18 mins; his handicap is 7 mins so he starts 7 mins after the first runner and 4 mins behind Jim. If both runners do equally as well this week then they should both finish together in the RSC!

Still not sure what it all means drop an email to waterfordroadrunners@gmail.com or give your self plenty of time to come upstairs at the RSC and ask one of the friendly helpers.

Week 1 done

Record numbers of Stewards were present for the first run of the Paddy Byrne Winter League 2010.

Con & 40 stewards helped 480 fun-runners to make it safely around the 2 mile and 4 mile course. Well done to all, particularly those doing the stewarding for the first time! The work of Waterford Marine Search & Rescue and Francie Lonergan was much appreciated in manning the "Church Road Diversion" off Paddy Brown's road and little or no delays were experienced on Paddy Brown Road as a result. Great work stewards and of course great work runners on completing the route.

Anyone interested in helping out with stewarding please come upstairs at the RSC any Thursday from 6:30 for assignment of station by Con!

Photos to follow from Ciaran Fallon and results will be on http://www.waterfordac.com/ early next week.

Rules of Winter League

REMEMBER: THIS IS A FUN EVENT FOR ALL AND SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!

Wear a high Viz Vest or Belt!

Run on the path, NOT THE ROAD.

Be careful of other fun-runners as you pass,

Traffic has right-of-way, so cross the road ONLY at the GARDA CROSSING POINT.

ENJOY!
