<p>This is a photograph from the 8th annual Kinnegad 5KM Road Race and Fun Run 2017 which was held in the town of Kinnegad, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 5th July 2017 at 20:00. This race has firmly established itself on the local race calendar and yet again the race retains wonderful support from local clubs and runners. The race was first run in 2010 and has used the same route for each of the eight runnings of the race. The race is a right handed course, flat and fast and takes runners on a traffic free route which includes 3KM on the local road 'Boreen Bradach'. The boreen is a flat and sheltered by hedgerow and is a well used local walking and running route.  The boreen benefits from a new surface which was applied over the last two years.  The boreen emerges onto the main street with the finish is on this famous main street of Kinnegad in front of Harry's Hotel. This streetscape will be well known to many many people who traveled between the east and west of Ireland before the arrival of the motorway system which we have today. Kinnegad is situated at the intersection of the both the M6 Galway bound motorway and the M4 Sligo/Mayo bound motorway.

<pre>Overall the race was very well organised and there was Garda help with traffic control in the town for the start and finish of the race. The race is organised by Coralstown Kinnegad GAA Club with proceeds from the race going towards the development of the club.

</p><p><i><b>In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us</b></i> - <b>If you are using the photographs online</b> all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages.

Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland.

</p><p><b>Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs</b>
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple. 
<b>Attribution</b>- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it. 
<b>ShareAlike</b> – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms. 
</p><p>Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/">www.flickr.com/creativecommons/</a>
</p><p><b>I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?</b>
</p><p>As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
</p><p>     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
</p><p><br>
You can email us <b>petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com</b> to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.  
</p><p><b>Don't like your photograph here?</b>
That's OK! We understand! 
</p><p>If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at <b>petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com</b> and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading. 
</p><p><b>I want to tell people about these great photographs!</b>
