    To be fair Truman Burbank, the cost of televising a marathon would be pretty massive relative to a football match, with 2 or 3 fixed cameras. Without a sponsor, its hard to justify this.

    If you look around at similar sized races around the world, its not a given that they would be televised.

    Frustrating that they have only got splits at 10km, half, and 20 miles. Makes it less exciting to follow updates. Suppose it's a cost thing.

    Good setup yeah, looks like its just going to be the updates at 10k, half, 20 miles and the finish. But, excellent the way you can track multiple runners..

    Thanks, I was wondering how KC and Clarita hadn't gone through 5 k yet!

    Something wrong with the tracker!!! Not showing that the leaders have gone through 10k yet, and they must be at this stage.

    Nice one, its working, must just be a delay or something.. KC and TRR running side by side by the looks of things so far, on 2:35 pace. Staggering.

    I always know people are serious when they address me by name!! In reply, I'd take the 3 fixed cameras - 2 helmets and the finish!

    The audience for watching DCM on TV would be too small to justify the expense supposedly. I do sometimes wonder about it too, when they can show random county club matches on TG4, but I think the set-up for live broadcasting of a road race is expensive..

    i think Maher was actually pacing Hehir - they have been doing track workouts together in Kilkenny until recently.

    Ironically - this is a marathon that would be worth watching on TV..
