We need your age in advance so that you can be eligible for age category prizes. For women, this is from 35 and up and for men it’s from 40 and up.
A decent amount of entries on the website didn’t go through to completion on Paypal. You are not entered until we receive payment via Paypal. If you are having issues there, you can use the offline method at the link below.
If you enter as a registered runner but we cannot find you on our 2018 list, we will enter you as non-registered. Both are eligible for individual prizes but you won’t be eligible for team prizes. The list contains shows BHAA registered runners first.
The first batch of bibs will be posted out shortly. Again, if there is any discrepancy with our list here, please let us know.

It is with great sadness that we learnt that George Brennan passed away this morning. George was a long time committee member and anybody who came to races with us would have seen him at the finish line with his clicker. He was missed at races in the last year or so but kept tabs on races from afar. George was our treasurer and officially retired from that position a few years back but continued to assist on all matters financial until recently in spite of his failing health.
Reception into Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Ballinlough Monday (27th) at 7.00pm. Requiem Mass on Tuesday (28th) at 11.00am, funeral afterwards to St. Michael’s Cemetery, Blackrock.
As mentioned on the last results, the BHAA will hold an EGM on Thursday 23rd August at 7.30pm at the Ambassador Hotel. The Chairman has requested a full attendance.
The results of the Musgrave S&S 5k from this evening are now online in Excel / PDF. Well done to the 378 finishers this evening. The rain cleared up nicely but the shortening days shows why this was our last evening race of the year.
First registered lady and man over the line:
We have an EGM on Thursday August 23 at 7.30pm in the Ambassador Hotel. All welcome and encouraged to attend.
The next race on our calendar is the Musgrave S&S 5k on Wednesday August 15 at 8pm on the Marina. Registration takes place from 6.30pm at Shandon Boat Club. The race route is along the traditional 5k route at the Marina so this is usually a popular race. It is advisable to get to registration in good time to avoid delays.
Race entry for registered runners €5, non-registered runners €10. Remember, if you’re not registered with the BHAA in advance of the race, you are not eligible for prizes and have to run as a non-registered runner.
The Army/Navy race scheduled for this Wednesday August 8th has been postponed until further notice.
