Five down and just one more to go - Loughrea hosted the 5th of this year's Galway 5km series under clear blue evening skies last evening. There was another very strong turnout with almost 500 people taking part on the night. As one would expect from a club with such a long and illustrious tradition in the art of road race organisation, everything went like clockwork.

There were smiling faces everywhere afterwards, always the best evidence of a job well done. Credit of course goes to all of the Loughrea members, but in particular to Barry Beirne who invested many hours in perparing the night. Isn't it fantastic when a plan comes together.

Results from Loughrea are now available at http://www.redtagtiming.com/

Of course we now come to one of the most interesting parts of the series when we find out just how many people will qualify for those coveted seriestraining tops. John from Red Tag has said that he'll have an updated 'collated' result sheet available soon and then it'll be time to dish out the goodies in Galway next week.

BTW - keep you eyes out for some very special spot prizes on the last night. Enough said.
