Coca Cola International Rás na hÉireann 2010
Set on the lawn of the Oldbridge estate, the 41st Rás na hÉireann international Cross Country will take place on Sunday, February 28th, 2010. This venue proved an ideal place last year to host a true cross-country race, when the Rás celebrated its 40th birthday. In 2010, it is hoped that the Rás na hÉireann cross country event, which is part of a cross-border Sport and Culture Week, thanks to strong links with Armagh Athletic Club, will emulate the achievements of 2009. There will be cross-country races for boys and girls, men and women from age 8 – 88! All are welcome to come and compete. Race programme for download. The course was highly praised last year by all who attended the event for its genuine cross country appeal. The international athletes were impressed with the facility, rating it a top European cross country course. The ground is undulating and firm underfoot, and well-marked by course stewards, including club stalwart Tommy Neary and his team in the days before the event. Oldbridge House is a perfect backdrop for the event. The OPW have created a superb recreation space at Oldbridge, steeped in history, and Rás na hÉireann and Dunleer Athletic Club are honoured to host their event once again in this marvellous location.
