It is a noticeably quieter weekend on the racing front across Ireland, with the athletics calendar taking a rare breather after a hectic run of fixtures over the past few months. Still, there are a handful of races taking place around the country for anyone looking to squeeze in a late entry, shake out the legs, or simply avoid spending Saturday or Sunday afternoon lying on the sofa watching netflix and regretting last night’s takeaway.
Here is a look at what is taking place over the coming days.

So there you have it. A quieter weekend by recent standards, but still enough happening around the country to keep runners occupied. Sometimes these smaller weekends can be the best ones too. Less pressure, less chaos, and a chance to enjoy a race without needing military level logistics just to park the car and find the start line.
