New Years Day 5k Road Race in the Phoenix Park

10 December 2004

Liffey Valley Athletic Club and Dublin City Harriers will join forces to stage the Tom Brennan 5k Memorial Trophy Race in the Phoenix Park on New Years Day, giving athletes an opportunity to get 2005 underway with a race in the Park. The course will be a two lap event taking in the Main Road, Furze Road and Ordinance Survey Road loop which will provide runners with a flat course devoid of the hills which regularly feature in Phoenix Park races nowadays. Which could mean a new 5k p.b. for many runners. What a way to start the New Year.

The race will be a good opportunity for cross country runners looking for a fast race and for track runners to assess the progress of their winter training. The Tom Brennan Trophy, which is a specially sculptured bronze trophy depicting the late Tom in action in the National Cross Country Championships in Belfield in 1975 (a race he won), will go to the individual winner of the race. 

Saturday January 1st 2005 @ 12 noon.

There will be prizes for the first three individuals, both men and women and the first three teams in both categories. There will also be prizes in a wide range of veteran classes. Entry fee will be €10. Special Souvenir to the first 500 entrants.
