Who would have believed it?

Entries closed for this year's Galway 5km Series on Sunday, 13th of April over two full weeks before the first race in Athenry on the 29th of April.

To keep this series to a manageable size all of the Galway clubs decided that we'd accept a maximum of 350 series entries. If you scroll down to the bottom of this article you will be able to see a list of 338 (to date) confirmed entries. As there are a good number of entries still being processed it's clear we've passed our limit and so we've closed entries for this year.

When and Where

The dates, venues and times of the races are as follows.

(Please note that the Athenry race starts 15 minutes earlier than all the others to make sure it can be completed in daylight.)

Entry Details

Series of Six Races Euro 20.00

Single Race (where available) Euro 5.00

  • People may enter the series by post using the attached entry form or online at www.RunIreland.com. Individual race entries will not be available online.
  • In order to avoid overcrowding at races a maximum number of 350 series entries will be accepted. Once this limit is reached series entry will be closed. Depending on numbers attending each night a limited number of individual race entries may be available on the night of the races at the discretion of the hosting club.
  • Runners will retain the same number from race to race. In other words you will be provided with a race number at the first race you arrive for and you’ll keep that same number for each subsequent night.
  • A souvenir t-shirt to be awarded to anyone who both enters the series and runs at least five races. Shirts only go to those that have actually entered the series.
  • In the interest of your own safety, headphones are not allowed during the race as race marshal instructions and traffic need to be heard at all times.
  • Race results will be published online as soon as possible after each race.
