10K race

The 10K race last weekend was a success as judged by the numbers of people taking part.

It raised a fair amount for charity.

I wonder if it could be expanded or at least incuded as part of something bigger.

Decathlon

I remember organising a Decathlon of events when I worked in London.

Those taking part were part of my then current company and my previous one.

It was a lot of fun and worked out pretty well.

We had individual winners of each event and team winners overall, i.e. my old company versus my new company.

We had a mixture of both outdoor and indoor events.

Events

From memory these were:-

100m Sprint
Tennis
Rowing
Pitch & Putt
Chess
Pool
Darts
5K race

....and I can't remember the rest.

Decathlon for Moville

What if we organised one of these in Moville maybe lasting a week with the 10K race as the climax of it?

Again we could make it a mixture of outdoor and indoor events.

Suggested Events

What about the following events:-

1. 100m sprint
2. Tennis (at the new facilities on the Green
3. Pitch & Putt (at Cooley)
4. Rowing (organised by the Rowing Club)
5. Draughts (in the Trawlerman)
6. Chess (in Rosatos)
7. Pool (in a suitable pub)
8. Darts (in a suitable pub)
9. Crazy Golf (at the Putting Green Cafe)
10. 10K race

Categories

There could be one for women and one for men.

There could also be an Inishowen based winner and a Visitor Winner.

There might even be one for Under Ages (although I don't know how they would get in the pubs).

You might even have an overall team winner with Moville v Greencastle v Gleneely v Carndonagh etc.

Summer & Winter

Of course you could make a Summer Decathlon and a Winter Decathlon and take the indoor ones out of the summer one and add other outdoor events and do the same for the winter one adding extra items like Carpet Bowls, Dominoes and Poker.

Of course someone would have to be found to organise all of this.

I have enough on my plate already.

What do you think?
