The ongoing closure of MTU Track, for resurfacing, meant that this year's annual Christmas Day GOAL Mile charity run took place around the MTU car park. It had previously been run around the car park, several years ago, when a severe frost/ice meant that the track was 'unrunnable'
The 'Rock Up & Run' nature of this annual run, in combination with the tiered car park, led to several races going the wrong way, with one race going short, missing the lower tier altogether, while another when the wrong way, meeting up with runners (who had gone on the correct route) coming against them
Nevertheless, it looked like nobody was particularly bothered - it's never a serious run...except for the a dedicated few
.... and is a family/run outing for GOAL, and a great Christmas Dinner appetiser
The second GOAL Mile of the Day was won by Aoife Quigley, Crusaders AC (Dublin) in a 'warm up' time of 5:56
