Welcome back to the IIRC Race series of indoor rowing competitions.

2016 is an Olympic year so hopefully some of our olympic hopefuls start showing their potential at some of the lesser events in the run up to their squad selections. Over the years we've been lucky in Ireland to be able to row side by side with some of those that fly the flag at the games so hopefully this year won't be an exception - allowing you to measure your talent against soemone whose bag is packed for Rio.

The PROVINCES IRC 2015 is in it's second year and already is taking on a character of it's own. As it's early in the season the average 2k time might not be at their peak BUT they will provide a good marker of where you are at and they will improve! Correspondingly anyone new to the 2k and getting into rowing or indoor rowing will 'welcome' a chance to test themselves before the Holidays when celebrations may dull performance for a while. Don't worry yourself though - post Chrimbo you have the IIRC 2016 to look forward to! When your enthusiasm needs a kick in the nethers along comes a deft challenge. 

 We've temporarily moved the PROVINCES IRC 100m to the PESS building (same location as IIRC 2013) where you'll have a whole building to go PB hunting.

As always the event is open to EVERYBODY; No pre-qualification is required.

Interest is high therefore space and places are limited. Get your entries in to avoid disappointment.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for all the latest news and follow us on Twitter @IrishIndoorsRow to be kept abreast of developments and results on the day 

 We aim to have a great day out and hope you do too - Joe C.
