You have just 5 days to go to the Rathfarnham 5k. The last online entries will be posted today. If you do not get your number before the race, please collect it, in Terenure College at the registration desk. Entries on the day finish at 9.30. It is a downhill course particularly for the first 1k. Do not get dragged along too fast by the 4.30 milers. You need your puff, because as you turn into Rathfarnham Road at the bridge the road begins to rise up to the 2k mark. As you turn into Templeogue Road the road begins to get much steeper all the way to the junction at Templeville Road at 3.5k. As you pass the Start point the road begins to go downhill for the last 1.2k. Then you can put put your foot on the trottle and race into the finish for your PB. Look at the map below to plan your racing strategy. Best of luck on race day.
