2006 Dublin Port Tunnel Race 10k - disappear under the streets of Dublin!

Hi,

you might have heard rumours about this event which is going to take place in a few weeks.

Details so far are:

Clonliffe Harriers Athletics Club and the Dublin Port Company are proud to announce the Dublin Port Tunnel 10k (under IAAF/ AAI rules). A totally unique experience, a 10k road race under the streets of Dublin! The port tunnel construction is the largest ever civil engineering project undertaken in the State. It is the longest urban tunnel road in Europe. Over 7.5 million man hours was spent in its construction by over 5000 people...



This is your chance to get to see it up close - before it is open for business. The route will involve starting at the port area, running the 4.5 km length of one tunnel, popping out at Santry before returning through the other tunnel to the finish back at the port.

Full details are on http://www.clonliffeharriers.com/

Entry is not open yet but will open shortly. Online only. If you are interested keep a eye on the site. I will post an update when it goes live. It is certain that the demand will be big as it's such an unique event! A once off!

thanks

Frank

I've just got a mail saying that it will officially open either today or tomorrow on Active Europe.  The race will be on Sunday December 10th and the entry fee will be either €20 or €25. 

They are also expecting it to sell out quickly.
