I don't have time to be training for all them sprint races!!
I think my PB is 33:xx. So, as for sub 30, well that's a way off yet.
(still have to nail my sub 20 5k!)

You say that as if I might know what it was last year.

I've a half marathon with a swim/bike warm up the day before. Might do this as a recovery run. CL keeps promising to do some baking so I'll turn up hoping.

Some cross training followed by a jog, somewhere between 11 and 13 miles long?:) Sounds like a decent warmup, whet your appetite for a proper race

This is the first race I had run since I was a kid. Did it in 2011 and ended up joining the club and running the marathon that October.

It's a great race and its honestly a great and friendly club. Proud to be a member :-)

Numbers filling up nicely..... Are YOU in? The fast course is perfect for a 5 mile PB, no matter what your level, to set you up for the Summer

The week before my stag, and up the road from my gaff, but racing the previous two weekends - decisions decisions..

Letyourselfgo

Very tempted to give this a go. Will there be entries on the day?

Jamesdarabrady

There are entries on the day but its €20 to enter on-line and €25 on the day. Definitely better to sign up in advance :-)

Did the site indicate you'd get an email confirmation?

yaboya1

I can't remember. It's a while since I signed up. With it being so close now I thought I'd have got a reminder or something. I wasn't worried as I'm sure I entered the correct details but if you're able to check that would be great?

gmurran

Guys you should have received an email confirmation from active global.

All entrants will receive another email before the race.

If you have concerns first try logging into run Ireland or send an email to info@terenure5mile.com with you name and someone will get back to you within 24 hours.

Thanks

yaboya1

Checked it there. All sorted. nothing to worry about

thewolf_ie

I can sign into Active Global but not Run Ireland and has similar trouble before and had to setup a totally new account.
