Dublin, Sunday October 30th 2016
In the past few days, Cork Athletics was informed that some Registered Athletics Ireland Clubs, under Cork Athletics County Board, have had difficulty in registering their members and/or teams for the Athletics Ireland National Marathon Championship, which is incorporated in the Dublin Marathon.
It is understood that some the newer clubs, even those registered several years ago, were unable to register, as their club did not appear in the entry system. Cork Athletics has been in touch with the Dublin Marathon office and has supplied them with a list of registered Cork clubs. It is also understood that Athletics Ireland is to supply Dublin Marathon office with an updated club listing. The Dublin Marathon is organised by Dublin BHAA, consequently, for data protection reasons, it is not possible for Dublin Marathon office to access the Athletics Ireland registration database.
A list of registered Athletics Ireland Clubs under the auspices of Cork Athletics can be found on the Cork Athletics website.
NOTE: Please be aware that the listing on the Cork Athletics website includes one or more clubs whose registrations are NOT up to date.
The official closing date for Marathon entries, INCLUDING the Athletics Ireland National Marathon, is Saturday October 1st 2016....HOWEVER "Closing date 17:00 hrs on Saturday October 1 (Earlier if race limit has been reached)"
The entry limit of 14,000 has already been exceeded and has been reset to 16,000. Entries are coming in very rapidly, so the 16,000 limit is likely to be reached in the next few weeks, at most.
This year's route has been changed, due to ongoing Luas works in Dublin. One of the consequences of the route changes is a number of tight turns and narrow streets. As a further consequence, on safety grounds, the current 16,000 limit is unlikely to be further extended.
So....Don't be disappointed! Ensure that you are entered for the Athletics Ireland National Marathon Championship.

Bydgoszcz - Day 5 - Saturday July 23rd 2016
The Irish 4x100m women were even in contention for a medal right up to the final changover, but were overtaken in the final leg. Nevertheless this was a tremendous achievement - coming fifth in the World, and setting a new National Junior Record of 44.82sec
Charlene Mawdsley, Gina Apke-Moses, Molly Scott and Ciara Neville
Earlier Pierre Murchan and Jack O'Leary ran in the 5000m final, finishing in 22nd and 25th places respectively, in 14:38.67 and 14:50.67. The ev ent proved to be an African Tour De Force, as Championship distance event tend to be nowadays, with African representatives filling the first seven places.
The event was won by Selemon Barega of Ethiopia, in 13:21.21, after a sprint with Djamal Direh, Djbouti, 13:21.50 and Wesley Ledama, Kenya, 13:23.34. Hands-down favourite, Aron Kifle, Eritrea, finished in 5th place in 13:31.09, after falling with two laps to go. He quickly gathered himself, but the leading trio were gone and he was unable to make up significant ground

Dublin Marathon Finishers Medal 2016
Tuesday's Post:
"The official closing date for Marathon entries, INCLUDING the Athletics Ireland National Marathon, is Saturday October 1st 2016....HOWEVER "Closing date 17:00 hrs on Saturday October 1 (Earlier if race limit has been reached)"
The entry limit of 14,000 has already been exceeded and has been reset to 16,000. Entries are coming in very rapidly, so the 16,000 limit is likely to be reached in the next few weeks, at most.
This year's route has been changed, due to ongoing Luas works in Dublin. One of the consequences of the route changes is a number of tight turns and narrow streets. As a further consequence, on safety grounds, the current 16,000 limit is unlikely to be further extended.
Tuesday's article reported on difficulties some newer clubs were having registering their members in the Athletics Ireland National Championship section, due to the absence of their particular club from the selection listing. Cork Athletics intervention, after it was made aware of the problem, led to a new club listing being issue by Athletics Ireland, so, for remaining entries, the issue should be resolved.
Some clubs used 'innovative' methods, such as inserting their club name in one of the other boxes, to enter their members. It isn't yet clear how previous entries that were unable to enter their clubs will be able to have their details included. Cork Athletics will be taking this up, and will post the results.
Swansea, Wales, Sat August 6th 2016

Bydgoszcz - Day 4 - Friday July 22nd 2016
The day started off with disappointment for Ireland when Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport) was disqualified in the Women's 200m, for a lane infringement.
The Women's relay was nothing short of dramatic. With two tto qualify automatically from each heat, heat 1 produced just three finishers from five starters - and Jamaica were disqualified for an out of zone baton change, leaving Spain and Ecuador as the only official finishers, with both going through automatically.
Heat two was slightly less dramatic - Fancied Great Britain & Northern Ireland failed to finish after a disasterous final changeover.
Ireland were in the outside lane in Heat 3 and ran strongly throughout, however in spite of a terrific finish, finished third behind Germany and 'winners' New Zealand. However another twist saw New Zealand also disqualified, leaving Ireland as automatic qualifiers. Ireland's finishing time was a season's best of 45.09 sec.
Ireland finished fifth in Heat 1, in 40.48sec, a National Junior Record, but outside the qualification spots
In this evening's Hammer Final, Andy King (Iveragh) maintained the good Irish performances at the Championships, with another National Junior record of 71.70m
