Athletics Ireland 2023 Registrations Closed - November 15th 2023

Athletics Ireland 2024 Registration Opens Monday November 15th 2023

aai registration closure notice nov 15th 2023

 

 

Athletics Ireland Registrations for 2023 closed today, November 15th. The Registration System will reopen, for 2024 Registrations, on Monday November 15th 2023


2023 Registrations remain valid for 2023 Membership, Competition and Insurance purposes until December 31st 2023, however no further registrations can be made for the 2023 year

2024 Registrations, will open on Monday next, November 15th 2023. These registrations will remain valid, Membership, Competition and Insurance purposes until December 31st 2024


What This Means for 2023 Registrations

Entries made via the Athletics Ireland Entry4Sport Competition Portal between now, November 15th, and Monday next, November 20th, will continue as normal, using 2023 Registrations, however any unregistered athlete cannot, as always, be entered, nor can they be registered until at least Monday next.

From Monday next, anyone registered for 2023 OR 2024, will be covered for Membership, Competition and Insurance purposes, and can, until Dec 31st 2023, be entered via the Entry4 Sport Portal. From Dec 31st, only those registered for 2024 will be valid

A small, but valid, point is that the total 2023 registrations for each county will be understated, probably by a small amount, as we near year-end. This is significant, as it may affect each County's allocated Athletics Ireland Congress/AGM/EGM delegation numbers, and the Quorum for such meetings, as these are related to each county's year-end Registrations total

Registration Closures

In 2022, Athletics Ireland announced that the Registration system would close on December 14th, and reopen on December 20th, however the system closed on November 26th, reopening about a week later.  

This year, the System Closure was flagged, upon enquiry, for November 15th and has closed on schedule.  2023 Registrations have closed over 6 weeks befor year-end

Irish Men's and Women's 10 Mile Road Race Performances - November 2023

Irish 10 Mile Rankings November 2023 - Guest Article by John Walshe

As has been done for the past number of years, this is an attempt to compile a ranking list over the popular 10-mile distance for men (under 55:00) and women (under 65:00)

As most of the popular 10-milers are now over, this list from January to early November shows the time (gun), name/club/category, the race and finishing position, along with the date. Where an athlete appears more than once, just the surname is used after the initial listing

Far and away, the quickest time of the year is the 47:11 achieved by Efrem Gidey at Kilcock, a race he won by over five minutes. Last year, Jake O’Regan’s 48:40 topped the list. Aoife Cooke, the fastest in 2022 with 54:19 at Dungarvan, again leads the way with her 54:50 from the tougher Cobh race

Last year 127 times for men appeared under 55 minutes along with 117 for women under 65 minutes. This year, the corresponding figures are 147 for men and 106 for women

Dungarvan, with 22 times under 55:00 – same as last year - saw the highest standard race amongst the men with the next highest being the Irish Runner race (which incorporated the national championship) on 19

The West Waterford race also saw the most women under 65:00 with 15 performances with the Irish Runner event again second on 13

Any additions or corrections are welcome and can be made on the commentsb section wherever this list appears, and will be included in the final updated edition at the end of the year

Athletics Ireland Release

MAGEEAN AND ADELEKE CROWNED JOINT ATHLETE OF THE YEAR WINNERS

Interviews, profiles and photos on Athletics Ireland's Facebook Page

Ciara Mageean (City of Lisburn) and Rhasidat Adeleke (Tallaght AC) were named as the joint Athlete of the Year winners at the 123.ie National Athletics Awards which took place in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry today (November 22nd)

Mageean and Adeleke took top honours on the back of their respective record-breaking seasons which were highlighted with 4th place finishes at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest

An outstanding season for Mageean now sees the Portaferry athlete boast national records at 800m (1:59.27), 1000m (2:31.06), 1500m (3:55.87) and the Mile (4:14.58), while 2023 NCAA 400m champion Adeleke also lays claim to a host of Irish national records including 60m (7.17), 200m (22.34), 300m (36.87), and 400m (49.20)

Mageean also walked away with today’s Track Athlete of Year Award, fending off strong competition from Irish relay star Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport AC) and fellow record breakers Sarah Lavin (Emerald AC) and Andrew Coscoran (Star of the Sea AC) who all enjoyed exceptional years

Rhasidat Adeleke (Tallaght AC) also picked up the U23 athlete of the year ahead of the exciting trio of Sarah Healy (UCD AC), Sophie O'Sullivan (Ballymore Cobh AC), and Nicola Tuthill (UCD AC)

European U20 long jump champion, Elizabeth Ndudi (Dundrum South Dublin AC), was named U20 Athlete of Year following her superb gold medal performance in Jerusalem back in August. Ndudi produced the jump of her life to set a new national U20 long jump record of 6.56m on her way to securing Ireland’s first field event gold medal at a European U20 championships

The U20 award was hotly contested with Nick Griggs (Mid Ulster AC) and Dean Casey (Ennis Track) nominated for the second year in a row, while Oisin Joyce (Lake District AC) was a worthy nominee for the category given his superb breakout season in the javelin

Irish relay has enjoyed another stellar year, and it was fitting that the mixed relay team of Callum Baird, Chris O’Donnell, Jack Raftery, Roisin Harrison, Sharlene Mawdsley, and Sophie Becker picked up the Team of the Year Award on the back of their performance at the World Championships in Budapest

Mark Carroll was a very popular inductee into the Hall of Fame for 2023.  Carroll enjoyed a glittering career, announcing his arrival on the international scene by taking the European Junior Men’s 5,000m title in 1991 before going on to claim bronze in the 5,000m at the European Championships in Budapest (1998). Carroll would fulfil a lifelong ambition in the year 2000 when he won gold in the 3,000m at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Ghent

Carroll also boasts a win in the prestigious Wanamaker Mile (2000), but arguably the greatest race of Carroll’s career was in Monaco in 1999, when he set the Irish 3,000m record of 7.30.36 which still stands today

While the 123.ie National Athletics Awards are a celebration of the many successes of our international and national athletes, it also commemorates the association’s exceptional volunteer base. The Lifetime Services to Athletics Awards was presented to Matt Lynch, while Ballymena and Antrim’s Martin Wilkinson won Official of the Year

John Hartnett and Susan Smith Walsh were joint recipients of Special Recognition Awards, while John Sheehan (Leevale AC) received the award for services to coaching


Greg Allen Speaking to John Hartnett

 

Elaine Robinson, Managing Director for 123.ie commented: “At 123.ie, our team are always trying for better, for both our customers and the community. And that’s what our Irish athletes, in every corner of the country do every day. The 123.ie National Athletics Awards is a fantastic opportunity to support and honour our Irish Athletes on their achievements throughout a record breaking year.  I’d like to congratulate each of the Award winners and their families, their coaches, and all of the volunteers across the country on their achievements this past year and wish you continued success in 2024.”

CEO of Athletics Ireland, Hamish Adams: “The 123.ie National Athletics Awards allow us celebrate the great performances of our athletes over the course of the last year, while also offering Athletics Ireland the opportunity to thank and acknowledge our coaches, officials, and clubs for their enormous contribution to the success of our sport

We have enjoyed a record-breaking year in 2023 and we look forward to building on this year’s successes heading into an Olympic year in 2024 and beyond.”

President of Athletics Ireland, John Cronin, added: “We are very proud of how our athletes have represented us across a busy year of competition both domestically and internationally

We have enjoyed many highlights since last year’s European Cross Country Championships in Turin and these awards give us the opportunity to acknowledge those performances. We also thank our coaches, clubs, volunteers, and long serving members of our athletic community who all play a hugely important role in the promotion, growth, and success of our sport.”

A truly record-breaking season has seen 90 records fall across all disciplines over the last ten months, eclipsing the previous record high of 81 records from the 2022 season. A full list of records can be found on at AthleticsIreland.ie

Athletics Ireland 2024 Registrations Open Today - November 20th 2023

Athletics Ireland 2024 Registration Open Now

athletics ireland registrations november 20th 2023

 

2024 Registrations, opened this morning, Monday November 20th 2023. New registrations are valid, for Membership, Competition and Insurance purposes, from now, until December 31st 2024.

2023 Registrations will remain valid, until December 31st 2023, with overlapping cover existing in the meantime

 
What This Means for 2023 Registrations

New entries made via the Athletics Ireland Entry4Sport Competition Portal will remain valid

From today Monday November 20th, anyone registered for 2023 OR 2024, will be covered for Membership, Competition and Insurance purposes, and can, until Dec 31st 2023, be entered via the Entry4 Sport Portal. From Dec 31st, only those registered for 2024 will be valid

A small, but valid, point is that the total 2023 registrations for each county will be understated, probably by a small amount, as we near year-end. This is significant, as it may affect each County's allocated Athletics Ireland Congress/AGM/EGM delegation numbers, and the Quorum for such meetings, as these are related to each county's year-end Registrations total

Registration Closures

In 2022, Athletics Ireland announced that the Registration system would close on December 14th, and reopen on December 20th, however the system closed on November 26th, reopening about a week later.  

This year, the System Closure was flagged, upon enquiry, for November 15th and has closed on schedule.  2023 Registrations have closed over 6 weeks befor year-end

Due to ongoing weather conditions, it isn't possible to park in the field. The normal entrance to the course is also exceptionally wet. Consequently, Parking will be along the hard shoulder of the public road, with space for approx. 200 vehicles. The remaining vehicles will park further in the avenue, in a good field. Anyone with a vehicle that can travel in fields, should park in this field, leaving the road spaces to others

Any clubs bringing buses, should off-load outside the entrance, on the public road. The buses should travel further up the road, away from the parking areas. Bus drivers should then be called by phone, when the club is ready to load again for home. Munster Athletics appeals to everyone to cooperate and take a practical approach in the interests of all

Dublin Marathon Organisers Under Pressure to Change Route for 2024

Dublin Marathon May be Forced to Change Route in 2024

dublin marathon route challenge 2024

Less than a weeek after Ethiopian Kemal Husen ran a world class 2:06:52 winning time in Dublin, it has come to light that race organisers are under pressure to change the route for 2024, particularly around the Start and Finish areas in Merrion Square, and and the surrounding areas


dublin marthaon start finish areas 2023

Owen Keegan, Chief Executive of Dublin City Council, along with the National Transport Authority (NTA) are not happy with the “disproportionate adverse impact” the event has on public transport services


Earlier this year, the Dublin Council CEO, and the NTA, looked to have the event moved away from Merrion Square North next year.  Arising from this, Jim Aughney, Dublin Marathon Race Director, asked Sports Minister Thomas Byrne to intervene, and help find a new Marathon location in Dublin city centre asserting that that Dublin City Council wanted the Marathon to find "a different place to start and finish the event outside Dublin city for 2024”

Aughney said that the contoversy could threaten demand, participation and economic benefits for the city, adding that the Marathon needed certainty for tour operators, charities and participants, who all needed to book hotel rooms early, and that relocating the marathon would lead to the event losing prestige if the start and finishes were to be moved out, as as most other big-city marathons finish in city centres

On the other hand Council chief appeared to emphase and accentuate the negative, saying that the marathon “has been creating issues for public transport operators for the last number of years”, with up to a quarter of a million commuter are disrupted over a period of up to four days..... without mentioning that the same period is also noted for Dart and rail service disruptions in particular, while maintenance works are carried out each year

The NTA are equally negative, with a bizarre statement, saying “The NTA is very concerned about a potential bridge strike due to the inexperience of new drivers being recruited who would be unfamiliar with the diversional routes”.

The NTA told Sports Minister Byrne that they wanted to maintain access to Merrion Square North on Friday, Saturday and Monday, but the Marathon  organisers would only give access on the Friday, as their medical centre need to be constructed. The Marathon organisers countered that this area is only fully closed 17 hours, saying “For the remaining 79 hours, an alternative bus route is provided around Merrion Square, which changes the route by approximately 300 metres”

Dublin City Council, who license the event and are responsible for road closures, was willing to sanction this year’s event provided two traffic lanes were kept open on Merrion Square North on the Friday and the Saturday, to facilitate commuters. The Council was said it was mindful of the benefits of the event, and was very supportive, but had to be conscious of its impact on road network users


After meeting Marathon Race Director Aughney, Minister Byrne wrote to Council CEO Keegan, and NTA CEO Anne Graham last July, encouraging all parties to engage further, and find workable solutions
