#dunboyne4mile Running Diary

Every participant will receive a running diary to use for recording your training and your racing!

Strava Flying Mile!

Like it’s name suggests, it’s a mile where you can put the foot down and see what you can do! And what better mile to do this than Mile 4.  Entrants have to use Strava to take part in this. We have set out a segment on Strava for the last mile of the Dunboyne 4 Mile. There will be prizes for both Male and Female.  Other prize winners will be excluded from the Flying Mile.

Pacers

Want to “pace” yourself this year?    Well we’ve made this easy for you – we will have Race Pacers for 26, 30, 32, 35 and 40 mins on the day…just watch out for the coloured balloons!  Stay tuned on Facebook and Twitter for more updates!

Corporate Team Challenge

Get your team organised for the #dunboyne4mile corporate team challenge – four to a team and see if you’ll bring the Glory Trophy to the office or the staffroom!
