The first annual Monivea 5K is being organized by Monivea RFC and should be an enjoyable run for runners of all abilities.  The route starts at the Community centre in the village, does a complete lap of the village, then up the Athenry road, left on to the bog road and returns via the forest paths and up the Mass Path to finish beside the rugby club (about 400m from the Community Centre).  The start and the finish are quite unique;  the start as it loops around the greens in the village will give everyone a chance to see where the competition is and the finish is on a fairly narrow path under towering conifer trees.  The route is extremely flat and is split about 50/50 asphalt roads and gravel forest roads.
 
There is also a really nice 10k loop through the forest and returning on very quiet country roads if anybody wants to extend their run on the day. 
 
Both the start and finish lines have toilets and changing facilities and there is loads of parking at the rugby club and in the village.   
 
Presentation of prizes will take place at 1:00 pm in the Community Centre.
