5 – Lisgoold 5k Road Race on Sunday,
7/11/2010
This event came
up for discussion at
the Cork County Board meeting on Wednesday 3/11/2010. It does not have
a race
Permit from Athletics Ireland. It did not have one last year and
despite the
best efforts of the Board we have failed to gain the co-operation of Lisgoold GAA in acquiring a Permit.
We are asking
all Athletics Ireland
registered athletes not to participate in this event and most clubs
have been
emailed to this effect. If athletes do
decide to run, we would ask that they do not wear club colours and do
not
register for the event under the name of an Athletics Ireland club.
