The full set of photographs from the race is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157709780082156 The early editions of the race were held during the Easter period so this is the second time that the race has been held during the Summer months. Overall, the route is a fair and testing course with the exception of a few rolling hills, in places. This year also featured a new start and finish to the race. This year's race started out side the historic and well preserved Town Hall built by Lord Downshire in 1829, which is subsequent years has been used as Civic Offices of Offaly County Council. The race finished in the Downshire Area of the Town where the Dunnes Shopping Center is located. From the town heads westward towards Rhode. A few KM outside of road the race turns southwards into the townlands of Thomastown, Sallymount, Rogerstown and Monasteroris. The race crosses the Grand Canal at Trimblestown Bridge, which is a steep canal bridge, carrying traffic over the Grand Canal between Kilbeggan and Edenderry. The course turns eastwards again and returns back to Edenderry where the course at around 9 miles meets the course at 1.5 miles mark. Another crossing of the Grand Canal sees the race cross Cartland Bridge before the 9 mile mark. The race finishes in the Carrick Road side of the Dunnes Stores. The weather was clear and bright but rather warm with air temperatures close to 15C with the feeling of high humidity. This made it a bit difficult for runners. However, there was a significant breeze in places which did serve to keep runners cooled down. Overall, this was a well organised raced (part of the KIA series) with a record entry of over 400 participants taking part and finishing the race. This year a relay option (5 mile legs) was introduced. Edenderry is a town with a population of around 10,000. The town is a busy one given that it provides a focal point for a large rural population around it. The town experienced growth in the 50s and 60s powered by the presence of Board na Mona and the ESB utilising the vast peat production areas around the town. The town is positioned between some of the larger provincial towns in this part of Leinster: Naas, Tullamore and Mullingar. However, Edenderry retains a rural Irish countryside charm. |
