The Downs Valentines Dash 5KM 2014
Image by Peter Mooney
This is a photograph from the second annual running of The Downs National School Valentines 5KM Road Race and Fun run which was held at The Downs GAA club, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath on Sunday February 9th 2013 at 12:00. The race was held as a fundraiser for the Downs National School. This is a very important fundraiser for the Downs National School new building project and the parents, teachers, and friends of the Downs National School and the neighbouring community are to be congratulated with the fabulous road race and social event that they organised. There was a great family atmosphere at the event and there was a very plentiful spread of refreshments afterwards in the Clubhouse. The event has grown strongly in it’s second year. Community spirit was very evident. The Downs is part of the geographically very large parish of Kinnegad, Coralstown, and Clonard and there were many local participants from the parish. Well over 400 people took part in the event. The stormy wet weather of late cleared off. Whilst there was a strong headwind on the course for the final kilometer all in all the weather was very suitable for running.
The Downs is situated just off the M4 between Kinnegad and Mullingar and is accessed from Junction/Exit 14 on the M4 and following the R156.
The race starts on the Cloghan road (this is about 1KM from the GAA Clubhouse) and proceeds clock-wise around a circuit which takes in the main Killucan road. The race passes by the finish/race-hq on it’s first loop. The road surface is a mixture of standard tarmacadam and gravel trail around by the forestry. Overall, the course is flat with just two very small hills for runners to content with. The course was very accurately measured and well marshalled.
The race is Athletics Association of Ireland approved. Timing was provided by Precision Timing who, as always, provided excellent timing and event management services on their day. Their website (with results from today’s race) is available at: www.precisiontiming.net/result/racetimer
We captured a large set of photographs from the race today. The full set of photographs are available in the following Flickr set: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640695491875/

I ran in the race – but my photograph doesn’t appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people – some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you – sorry about that – we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn’t make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don’t like your photograph here?
That’s OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
