The Dunboyne 10k Road Race & Fun Run
Sunday 26th March 2023

Dunboyne AC host their 52nd Dunboyne Road Race on Sunday 26th March 2023 at 12 noon. The first in the race series, this local race with a big reputation has long been a landmark event on the Irish road racing calendar. 2023 promises to retain that reputation.

For the 2023 edition we will introduce a new finish area with the final 380m on our synthetic running track. The start line is at the “dead end” on the Old Navan Road, taking participants on a fast flat left-handed route through the Village and onwards around the ‘Moor Of Meath’ route, returning via Rooske Road, thus offering great potential for athletes to target a fast time while it’s also an ideal event for anyone new to fitness, walking or running. The emphasis is, as always, on a fun day out in a friendly and safe environment with a fun post-race event and the famous Dunboyne AC hospitality.

In 2022 the new 10k route proved very popular. Its fast potential was evident with 7 athletes crossing the line in less than 32 minutes (and a further 31 athletes arriving in under 35 minutes). The men’s race saw Clonliffe Harrier’s athlete Efrem Gidey take first place in a fantastic time of 28:25, while the women’s race saw Fionnuala McCormack, Kilcoole AC first across the line in a fast 32:27. The team races were hotly contested with Portmarnock AC taking the men’s and Mullingar Harriers the women’s prizes.
