About the Event

John Treacy is a name which is synonymous with the highest levels of athletic achievement over the course of an illustrious sporting career. He is almost always mentioned in the same breath as his native County Waterford and his picturesque home village of Villierstown in the scenic Dromana area of West Waterford.

The 2009 John Treacy Classic came about because of the high esteem that this great athlete is held in not only in his native Villierstown but right across County Waterford. The second edition of this great event will be held on Sunday 16th May 2010. 901 runners, joggers and walkers took part in what was a very memorable event.

Why not join with Waterford County Council, Waterford Sports Partnership, West Waterford AC, Waterford AC and John’s local community along with hundreds of running enthusiasts to celebrate John’s achievements by taking part in either the 10 Mile Road Race, 5k Fun Run/Walk or the all new 1k Fun Run. It will also be a chance to visit this beautiful area of west County Waterford, to raise funds for John’s nominated charity Concern Haiti Appeal and to get out there and get fit in the process by either choosing to challenge yourself over the 10 mile course or to join family and friends along the route of the 5k or 1k fun run/walk.

There are 3 routes to choose from on the day of the event and we hope there will be a little something for everyone. The 10 Mile Road Race will cater for everyone from the running enthusiast right up to the elite athlete so whether you plan to jog or run there will be something for you here (all participants must be aged over 16). The 5k will be an event for all the family (under 12's must be accompanied by an adult). The 1k event is new for 2010 and is really designed with the children in mind but those young at heart may want to take part also! If you are just getting into the running scene or if you just want to get out in the fresh air and enjoy either a walk or a run (or both) this is the event for you!
