| 説明 | This is a photograph from a set of photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2018 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 29th June 2018. This superb road race is now firmly established again as one of the fastest and best organised road races of its kind in Leinster. The race follows a left handed course around a well known local walking route around Laragh and in the closing kilometer runs parallel to the Royal Canal into the finish at the railway station in the town having started at the primary school close to the St. Coca's running track. In fact for several hundred meters after the 4KM marker towards the finish the course runs parallel with the railway, canal and the R148 between Kilcock and Maynooth. This geographic feature is one of only a small number towns with this parallel configuration in all of Europe.One of the usual features of tonight's race was the recording breaking air temperatures experienced. During this week Ireland has experienced actual heatwave conditions. It is fair to say that temperatures tonight on the course were around mid 20 degrees Celsius. This weather will certainly live long in the memory of any one who participated tonight. The race has had 'good' weather and 'great' weather before but nothing on this scale. The members of St. Coca's AC and the many volunteers from the local community must be given great praise for organising another fantastic night of racing for runners, joggers, and walkers. The 5KM course is very flat with the exception of short incline up a motorway overpass and makes its way along narrow country lanes sheltered on either side by hedgerows. These roads offer a great contrast from the urban population of Kilcock which has grown as a satellite town of the greater Dublin area. The very hot summer evening made for an enjoyable night for everyone with a large crowd gathering at the finish to cheer on participants. Refreshments and prize awards were held in the Gaelscoil near to both the race start and close to the St. Coca's running track. Running clubs and groups from all over Leinster and beyond were represented in the race tonight.
