Pacers have become a regular feature of big city marathons, helping people achieve their time goals by setting a steady place, providing encouragement and inspiration when the going gets tough. For plenty of people, time goals at the Fields of Athenry 10km are just as important, and we're going to do a little to help.

The people have spoken. This year’s hat for the Fields of Athenry 10k will be Green. It is currently in production [photo for illustration only!] and we hope to bring you a picture of it very soon. It was a close run thing, with the pink vote out if force this year, having rallied the troops and lobbied the masses.
In the end, a single vote was all the seperated the two, and no doubt the pink vote will go all-out for victory next year.
