    There will be a van available for light gear at the start which will be at the finish before you get there! However it is your own responsibility to collect your belongings and we encourage that you don't include any valuables.

    I'm glad everyone wants choc biscuit cake, it's a lot easier to make and keeps better than other cakes. No mince pies and xmas cupcakes then. Hurrah for me. :D

    Thats great, just needed somewhere to throw a jumper/extra t shirt for after as I'd be running to & from the park home. Sorted.

    Have heard this is a pretty fast course. I don't know the phoenix park very well. I see a lot of it is on the upper glen road, am I wondering how that road got its name?! Does it involve a lot of going up?

    Signed up last week. I've yet to run a 5k that I'm happy with - in terms of my own performance/time - but I like the look of the course for this.

    Same for me, love well organised club races!! My only concern is that my envelope had sub 17:45 written on it, piling on the pressure much?! ;) Not sure where they got that from cause I don't remember filling in a time on the sign up form?
