The Dublin 5k Road Championships, hosted by Rathfarnham WSAF AC, will be incorporated in the Rathfarnham 5k Road Race on Sunday 29th September 2024. Entries can be made on the Eventmaster website at https://eventmaster.ie/event/1G3rSwDHeM . All clubs are encouraged to get their entries in as soon as possible, making sure the correct Club Name and Age Category is used. Please flag with their athletes that club and category details cannot be changed after the race closes for entries, and championship results will be based only on the information entered at race registration. Please note:
· If you have entered the race already please check that you have given your correct club and category details.
· Only athletes registered as from Dublin Athletics clubs can compete in Dublin Championships
· Individual Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded to the first 3 Dublin club runners home and in all individual categories from M/F35 through to M/F65. A Masters’ athlete finishing in the first 3 home will be awarded only the overall individual medal. The Masters’ medals then go to the 2nd , 3rd and 4th place finishers from that category.
· Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to be awarded for Senior teams (4 to score), M/F35 teams (4 to score), M50 teams (4 to score) and F50 teams (3 to score)
· For team scoring, finishers may be moved up to a higher team category to best benefit their club’s scoring position in the higher category e.g. if an M35+ or F35+ have a better score than one of their Senior finishers, he/she will be counted in the Senior team scoring calculation. The same applies between M/F50+ and M/F35+.
· Where a Master scores on a Senior medal winning team, that Master cannot score for their club in their own age category team
· Championship results will be counted from the gun time and competitors must ensure they start in the first wave of runners.
