The 32nd AXA Raheny 5 Mile Road Race one of the most eagerly awaited events on the athletics calendar will take place on Sunday 31st January 2016 at 3pm.
The event which is promoted by Raheny Shamrock Athletic Club is now rated as one of the country’s leading road races. It was founded in 1985 by former Olympian Pat Hooper. More than 30 years later Pat is still the driving force behind the event in his capacity as race director.
While the race will comprise a fair sprinkling of serious athletes what has made the AXA Raheny 5 popular over the years is that it caters for runners, joggers and walkers of all abilities. And you wouldn’t go home empty handed. Every finisher is guaranteed the famous Raheny 5 plaque plus a goody bag.
There is also a special category for walkers, which will begin at 2.40pm while the wheelchair race begins at 2.58pm. There will be prizes for the first 10 men and women finishers as well as the top three masters in all age categories. There will also be prizes for the first 3 juniors as well as the usual team prizes. Participants can enter the race online at www.rahenyshamrock.ie or drop your entry into the AXA Insurance Office, 4 Main Street, Raheny, Dublin 5. The AXA Office in Raheny will be open on Saturday 30th January between 10am and 4pm for number collection and late entries. No entries will be taken on the day.
