The Michal Rejmer Memorial 10-mile road race, sponsored by HOMS Assist for the third consecutive year, is set to take place on Sunday, April 14th at 11 am. The event will begin at Limerick Racecourse, Greenmount Park, Patrickswell, Co. Limerick. This race is held in association with the Dooneen Athletic Club and is expected to be a celebration of courage, camaraderie, and the enduring spirit of Michal Rejmer, a cherished figure in Limerick’s running community.
Michal Rejmer was a passionate marathon runner who left a lasting impact on the running community in Limerick. His untimely passing in 2015 left a void, but his memory is honoured through this event, which stands as a testament to his remarkable legacy. The road race is not just a race, it’s an experience that offers runners a unique opportunity to challenge themselves and soak in the vibrant spirit of the local community.
The 10-mile road run will be chip-timed, making it the only timed 10-mile road race held annually in Limerick. It is the perfect event for those looking to prepare for the Great Limerick Run in May and other Autumn races, including the Dublin City Marathon.
The race will start at the picturesque Limerick Racecourse and participants will embark on a scenic route towards Patrickswell and Raheen. They will then wind through the tranquil countryside of Lemonfield and Crecora before heading to the finish area at Limerick Racecourse for refreshments and prize giving.
The first 500 participants to cross the finish line will be celebrated with bespoke medals, a testament to their dedication and perseverance. Additionally, a substantial prize fund totalling over €2,000 awaits the top performers, including awards for the fastest male and female athletes in various age categories.
