MILE DASH CHALLENGE - May 6th 2014

Sir Roger Bannister
MILE DASH Challenge: run one mile as fast as you can
To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Sir Roger Bannister in breaking the 4minutes for 1 Mile we have organised a 1 MILE Race of our own. The Race will be held on Tuesday MAY 6th 2014 starting at 6:30pm. This is exactly 60 years to the day.

VENUE….
The 1 Mile race will be held in the village of Farranfore which lies centrally between Tralee and Killarney next to Kerry Airport and railway station
Check Google Maps for directions: HERE

RACE COURSE…
The race will be on the old road which runs parallel to the main N22 Tralee to Killarney road. This is a very quiet road with only access for local home owners. The finish line will be just before you enter the 4PARK BUSINESS CENTER, which is also our registration point where there is ample parking available. So you must walk approx.. 1mile to the starting point. This makes a good opportunity to warm up before the race. Please allow ample time to get to the starting point.
More details will follow later

ENTRY FEE….
Entry Fee is just €5 for Senior & Masters, All Juvenile U18 compete for Free

PRIZES….
Each participant will receive a certificate for completing the 1Mile to commemorate 60th anniversary of the sub 4min. mile race. The top 3 winners in each category will receive a cash prize and a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion.
