Bit far to go for a 10k for me as I'm based in Dublin, which is a pity cause it sounds like a good one,nice flat course and like the idea of the pacers.Haven't run a 10k that had pacers in it before and I think it would be an incentive to me to push myself a bit more. Hope it goes really well.

Hi Runningcoach,

Thanks for the great pacing job yesterday.

I drifted back from you in the second half but managed to pick it it up near the end and finished in 50:45 by my reckoning. As this was my first 10k I'm delighted and it gives me a bit of confidence for try to break 50 the next time I'm out.

Well done to all involved in organisation. It was a great idea to separate the runners at the start into their pace groups. It made for a very smooth start.

The course was great. No real hills of any description and the 3 water stations were a blessing with the heat up around the 25degC mark.

The only downside was having to stop at the first water station to get a cup. Being part of a pace group we all arrived at the same time so I can understand the demand outstripped supply. I'm sure this would be easily rectified.

All in all, I am glad I went out yesterday and I will definitely be back for the next one.

Well Done on last night lads.

The start was super and so simple to do it made a huge difference separating the entrants like yeah did.
Water stations spot on and needed. The route was very well marshalled and every effort was made to ensure the safety of the participants.

Great grub afterwards pity about the queue but good grub is always worth the wait.

I didn't make my sub 45 but given the heat a lot of people struggled. The course is a good pb course if we got a normal Irish summer's evening, so I will return again for another crack at it.

I hope the pacers recovered after their excretions yesterday they had a tough job to do last night and they gave it everything.

it was my first race ever and the heat made it tough, tried to keep up with the sub 55 pacer but struggled, BUT delighted with a 55m 55s finish, will be back next year if its on great time had by all it seems

Did this race yesterday too, tried to break the 50 min, kept with the pacer till half way but the heat got the better of me and dropped back. Well done to all involved. Very well organised event.

runningcoach

Thanks to all for your feedback.
We were so happy with the turnout between the 10k and 5k events (just under 500 entrants on the night).
And of course it will be back on next year
