Charity Fancy Dress Duathlon & fun
run
After the success of last year's Fancy dress Duathlon / 5k run / kids fun
run, we hope there will be another good turnout for it this year on Sat.
30th October. As you can see from the poster on the home page, we hope
that people will come along in Fancy dress (doesn't have to be Halloween theme) for the laugh but if you are shy or
want to take the race seriously you can participate in proper sports/tri gear.
It will be on the same course as our official duathlon (see home page for
info. on this). We will also have a 1.5k fun run/walk for kids and parents etc. which will take place when everyone else has gone off on their
bikes.
Last year we had Superheroes of all kinds, clowns, roman centurians, King Henry
VIII, witches (some who cycled a tandem), princesses, a nun (who a motorist
thought was real!) and lots more. Tom Casey kept everyone entertained with his
bag-pipes! (Photos on Facebook - see 1st album)
We had about 60 participants in total from our own club, Carrick Tri club,
friends and fellow athletes and raised 500euro for the South Tipperary Hospice.
There were a few people (chickens!!!) who didn't dress up and who wished they
had once they saw everyone else in their outfits so there is no excuse this
year.
Either way, it will be a fun training session and a great kick start to the
winter season. Entry fee is by way of donation to a charity (to be decided).
All friends and family and kids welcome to take part. Over 16's only for the
duathlon.
Starts at 10.30am in Fenor.
NOTE:
HELMETS COMPULSORY
Then, later on that evening we will have our club night out. Still working on
the final details so will let ye know later this week.
If anyone doesn't want to participate or is injured and doesn't want to miss out
on all the fun, we will need a few people to volunteer to marshal on the day,
(also an excuse to dress up in fancy dress)
Hope to see ye all there... |
