Races in Funny Places: The Smallville 5K (A “Salt of the Earth” Experience)

In our fifth and final instalment of "Races in Funny Places," we venture 650 feet below ground for the Smallville 5, a race held in an active salt mine in Strataca, Kansas. 🏃‍♂️🏔️ Runners don helmets and headlamps as they navigate dimly lit paths carved from salt, surrounded by mining equipment and rock walls. With every step echoing in the quiet, this surreal underground 5K turns typical race-day expectations on their head. Emerging from the depths, finishers can proudly claim they’ve gone the distance in one of the quirkiest race venues on Earth. 🧂✨

2024 – Looking back at our exceptional year

As we look back on 2024 we reflect on the importance of Irish Athletics on our sporting lives. We lived the athlete's high's and felt their lows. From Glasgow to Rome, the hot seats of Europe and back to Paris - it was a summer of track and field and a winter of Cross-Country that has us all rocking in our seats or following their trails of success from filled stadiums. 78 national records, five european Senior medals, five u18 European medals, an u20 World medal, a World Relays medal and finally a Euro-cross silver. 2024 you rocked!
