COVID19 – UPDATE

As you may be aware we recently took the decision to cancel the remaining 2 runs of the 2020 series. The committee has examined the permit conditions from Athletics Ireland on race organisation and we are not satisfied that as a voluntary, community led event, we can meet the health and safety measures required. We are not willing to take any risk around public health.

With regard to the Full Series entrants:
In the coming weeks we will begin posting out the remaining medals and T-shirt to all series entrants as well as offering a discount for the 2021 series.

With regard to the 10k and 10 mile entrants:
We are now offering you either a refund of your entry or a deferred entry for the 2021 race (Ennis 10k 20th March & Sonny Murphy Memorial 10 Mile 11th April).
Please reply and let us know your preference by Friday July 24th.

Run The Banner 2020

1 month ago

It was great disappointment that we have had to admit defeat in trying to complete the 2020 series. The committee have monitored guidance from Athletics Ireland and are not satisfied that as a volunteer led community event we could meet the detailed safety requirements. We are not willing to put the health and safety of individuals at risk.

Over the coming weeks we will post the remaining gifts and series medals to all series entrants as well as offering a discount to the 2021 series.

Those with entries to the 10k or 10 mile only will be offered a refund or deferred entry to 2021

Thank you all for your patience and support. We hope to see you all in 2021. In the meantime stay safe and keep running! ...

Hope everyone is having a great Easter. Yesterday would have marked the 36th Sonnie Murphy 10 mile annual road race for Kilnaboy AC and bring an end to the 3rd year of Run the Banner but unfortunately due to the current crisis we had to postpone it. Hopefully later this year we will still be running with this view for company.

A big Thank you to our runners, volunteers and Sponsor Deasy's Centra Clarecastle is a must and hope to join up altogether again soon.

In the meantime keep enjoying your brief daily run/jog/walks to keep your health, fitness and head space good. Would also recommend checking out the Isolation Fitness Clare page where local Gym instructors have kindly put up workouts for all different levels of fitness to keep us busy at home also over this isolation period.

We had a nice message from Sinead who suggested that in honour of our postponed Ennis 10K run, individual (no groups please) runners and walkers head out tomorrow and do a 10k route of their own choice. Feel free to comment or message below with photos, times etc.

Whatever you do, enjoy, stay safe & follow HSE guidelines ...

Unfortunately with all that is going on with the covid-19 situation and the uncertainty of how long it will last we have decided to postpone the Sonnie Murphy 10 miler aswell.
As soon as we have a new date we will let all you know as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your support in the series so far and hope we can finish this journey together in the near future.

Stay safe, stay healthy and keep them miles flowing.
Thank you. #runthebanner ...
