With the Business House Athletics Association, Dublin City Council Runners Club will promote a 4 mile combined race on Sunday 11 December, 2021 in the beautiful St Anne’s park. The race will start at 11 00 a.m and finish on the tree-lined central avenue at the Sybil Hill/Vernon Avenue side of the park.
It is a two lap race on paths within the park. The course is mostly flat so it could be an opportunity for a personal best. The course in the former residence of the Guinness family of stout fame makes it an attractive and scenic course.
The race should attract a large contingent from the Lord Mayor’s 5 alive series. ArdMheara/Lord Mayor Nial Ring will start the race. Uniquely he will also run the race and present the prizes.

Buses 29A, 31, 31A and 32 have stops on Howth Rd about a five minute walk from the venue.
There are regular DART trains to Killester station about a 15 minute walk to the venue.
