April 15 – Powerade Olympic 100m
Set your Personal Best in the London 2012
Olympic Stadium with Powerade
Powerade,
the brand responsible for hydrating athletes at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, is today launching a campaign offering amateur
Irish sportsmen and women the chance to be the first Irish people to set their
own 100m record at the London 2012 Olympic Stadium.
On Thursday
3rd May 2012, Powerade will be giving sports enthusiasts exclusive access
to run 100m on the track at the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, with the fastest
runners setting their own ‘Personal Bests’ in the stadium that will host
the track and field events at this summer’s Games.
To be in with a chance
of winning this once-in-a-lifetime experience, entrants need to simply register
and participate in one of four‘Powerade Ireland On
Your Marks’ regional
100m race events. Simply register online at www.powerade.ie/onyourmarks for one of the four
regional events and participate on the day to be entered.
The free Regional
events, hosted in conjunction with Athletics Ireland, will take
place in Connacht (Knocknarea
Arena, I.T. Sligo)and Ulster (Antrim Forum) on the 14th
April and Munster
(Cork I.T.) and Leinster (Morton Stadium, Santry) on the 22nd
April.
The participants don’t
need to be the fastest person in the World to win, they just need to be there
and show their determination. At the end of each regional event every
participant’s race number will
be placed in a draw to win one of four places on the Powerade
London 2012 Olympic Stadium Experience
Every participant will
receive a Powerade ION4 Sports Bottle and can also get involved in
the Race Ready Warm Ups on the day along with Hydration
Testing and hints and tips from a Powerade Sports Scientist.
The Olympic Stadium
experience will include travel to, and a tour of the stadium, expert advice on
preparation and training techniques from Jessica Ennis’s coach Toni
Minichiello, coaching tips from Derval O’Rourke, Powerade Ireland
Brand Ambassador, and the chance to run 100m Irish track record in the same
venue, which will see world-class athletes make sporting history during the
Games this summer.
Derval
O’Rourke, Powerade
Ireland Brand Ambassador said; “This is an amazing opportunity for
someone to run a 100m at the Olympic Stadium in London and set their own
personal best, which will also be an Irish track record. The winners will get a
chance to experience what it will feel to be an elite athlete runnning in the Olympic Stadium even before the athletes
do! I am looking forward to being able to help the winners on the day with tips
on how they can set their personal best on the 3rd May.”
Jennifer Branigan, Brand Activation
Manager for Powerade Ireland, commented, “2012
is an exciting year for Powerade as we gear up to
hydrate athletes during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games. We’re delighted to be offering sportsmen and women the opportunity to
compete in the Olympic Stadium and create their own moment of sporting history.
I’m sure it will be an unforgettable experience for the winner.”

All Ireland Champions Point The Way To Ballintotis Road Race
Ballintotis will
again host the opening evening fixture on the extremely busy Cork road running
calendar on Thursday April 19th. Two years ago, the inaugural ‘4’ miler
at the picturesque venue, located just off the Main N25 road between Midleton and Castlemartyr, proved
an outstanding success with nearly 450 runners taking part. Twelve months on
over 550 went to the start line, whilst another sizeable contingent took part
in the non competitive walk.
This year’s race was officially launched by the Lakeside at Loughaderra with Donal O’Sullivan
General Manager of Trabolgan Holiday Village joining
local organisers to kick start the countdown to an occasion that will again see
all proceeds going towards the Ballintotis Area
Community Council Building Fund.
East Cork AC who previously held the fixture in nearby Castlemartyr are again to the fore
in the organisation and promotion of the race as are members of the highly
respected Ballycotton Running Promotions team.
Without the tremendous help and co-operation of both the aforementioned the
race would not be possible to stage.
Currently the main objective of the Ballintotis
Community Council Committee is to provide a suitable multi
purpose floor on the splendid new Community Centre which is located
adjacent to the Church grounds. Since last year’s race tremendous progress has
been made as reflected by the fact that the Centre will be HQ for the big April
19th fixture. The staging of the race at the venue over the past 2 years has
generated a vital part of the funding which has seen such major work already
completed.
So this year (weather permitting) the focus will both be on the
new construction and the Car Park of St Colman’s Church which will again be the
venue for after race refreshments on the lake side at Loughaderra.
The start line is approximately 200 meters from the race base and the course
will see the runners pass the Car Park as they set out on what is predominantly
a fast flat course along quiet country roads, before finishing back in front of
the Church.
Entry fee for the event is 10 euro, with all finishers receiving
a souvenir tee shirt. There is a wide range of prizes in all categories
along with a plentiful supply of spot prizes. For those who make the headlines up
front some attractive prizes are on offer topped by a family weekend break at Trabolgan Holiday Village for both first man and first lady
across the line. Incidentally both James McCarthy of East Cork AC and Rhona Lynch of Eagle AC have won the event in both 2010 and
2011.
Race time on Thursday 19th is 8pm with all participants urged to
arrive early and follow the advice of the stewards in relation to parking..
Meantime a non competitive walk will also be held beginning at 6.30pm over the
same course. Again entry fee for adults is 10 euro which automatically
entitles the participants to the aforementioned commemorative tee shirt.
Children accompanied by an adult can partake free of charge.
Entry to both the race and walk, changing facilities, refreshments
and prize giving will all be centred in close proximity.
*Further information is available on www.ballintotis.com or by calling Sean Murphy or John Cashman on the special race line number .
