Think i do this. I work in the business park. A few speed ramps but be flat

Have just signed up for the 10 mile - I did the 10 mile in Phoenix Park on Saturday, my first time ever completing that distance and while my time was extremely slow I was delighted to just finish it. Thought I'd sign up for this so that I'll have a chance to improve on my previous time - fingers crossed!

i heard there was difficulty in limerick when half marathon and marathon finished together at same time due to staggered starts; are you sure that 4 races finishing together works/will work? are there many successful examples? it being a 5 mile circuit, will that not leave faster runners and slower runners putting each other off?

Is this race going ahead? Sent them a email and got no reply!!

Flyers for the event were handed out after the Dublin Half on Saturday so I'd imagine it was going ahead alright.

Not sure where your e-mail went Average Runner but races def going ahead

With the numbers expected and good organisation we don't anticipate any major problems at the finish.

The idea is to have a better atmosphere round the finish rather than starting all together and having the finishers well spread out.
We have a limited window of 4 hours between 9am and 1pm to use the Port's roads so we needed to facilitate that and hopefully it works out ok.

We plan to issue 2 numbers ( 1 for front and another for back) so that you know who is in your particular distance race when they pass you or you spot them ahead, etc
Hopefully folk will encourage and give support to each other when passing other folk in different distance events and not be put off by it.

Thanks for that. If my run goes ok tonight, I will sign up for this, either the 15 or 20 mile one.

Will be doing this with two of the lads. 20miles at marathon pace should tell us where we stand.

Hard to know as always but good interest since half in park on sat so prob looking at 2 -> 300 in the 20 miler.

Expect to get a good lot of entries in the next few days as entry price is set to rise after Thursday.

Need to get tees on order so hopefully by then we will know better where we stand with numbers expected

Im signed up for 10 miles. Im looking forward to this but nervous too. It'll be my longest distance as there are very few events between 10k (my longest so far) and 10 miles in distance

Planning on doing 8 minute miles finishing in 2hr 40min. Aiming for a 3:30ish in the marathon so this target is a must. Otherwise its back to the drawing board!!

I intend to do the 15 miler and aiming for sub 1:50. I'll be continuing on for an extra easy 5mile lap afterwards.

That probably makes more sense than running pmp for 20?

I'll be pretty much doing LT pace which is fine for me as I still have 8.5weeks to my marathon. Not sure what's best for DCM - 20 at pmp or 15 at LT - Both will be pretty tough sessions regardless so not sure what's best for you myself.
You're welcome to join me if it suits though!

Just signed up for the 20 miler, be my last 20 miler before Dublin.

PaulieC

see yiz there. Not looking forward to it mind. If there is one thing I hate more than laps, it's 4 5 mile laps of the docks. I hope the roads are closed off as the paths aren't great for running on

Can you register for this on the day? myself and girlfriend thinking of doing 15 miler but not sure if we will be around Sunday morning

Anyone get a number in the post or is it collect on the day

Jet Black

Its collection on the day.

Where do I pick up my Race Number?

Race numbers and timing chips will be available for collection at race sign-in on morning of the race at Eastpoint Business Park

Race sign-in will open at 8am and will close 30 minutes before the start of each race

i.e. Sign-in closes at 8.30 for 20 mile, 9.10 for 15 Mile, 9.45 for 10 mile and 10.15 for 5 mile

Please ensure you are at eastpoint no later that 9.20am on Sunday morning as arriving after that time will cause disruption to those in the 20 mile race and may limit your access to our free parking close to the race start / finish area
