anyone do the 10k last year? has the traffic situation improved?

The half was ok, if that helps you. It was a lot better then the 2014 race......no farmers trying to flatten you as you run!

Really looking forward to this one. Does anyone know from what time the numbers can be collected from? Can't see any info on the fb page.

Numbers will be posted out over the next few days for those who have already entered.

After that collection on Saturday 2 - 4 from Bohermeen Community Centre. No mention of on the day collection.

If anyone is stuck I can collect numbers on Saturday for them.

Bohermeen AC FB page has details.

Race Number Collection( for those who registered after March 1st)


race number collection will take place

Saturday 2.00pm until 4:00pm in Bohermeen Community Centre,(Race HQ)

Sunday 12th from 9:30am in Bohermeen Comminty Centre.

How does the new course compare with the course circa 2013/14? I know it is just the loop in reverse really but what is the consensus on which was more conducive to a faster time.

I've run the course in both directions however last year was at MP so can't comment on the faster bit, but I definitely think its a little easier going the opposite direction as the hill & flyover are no longer in the last mile now.

I've run the old course a couple of times and the new one last year. Prefer the new route and I think it's a little easier, the finish of the old route was quite tough if you pushed on for the last mile or two.

According to a post on Bohermeen AC webpage on 22 Feb: Pacers have been confirmed for 1.40, 1.50, 2.00, 2.10
(PS I have nothing to do with Bohermeen AC or the Half marathon)

Hi I'm doing this on Sunday for the first time... may have missed it on earlier pages but couldn't find it here or on facebook - the course map and ideally a profile, water stations too. Any other hints or tips for parking or otherwise gratefully accepted

Edit: they finally put up details on facebook last night!

Really enjoyed the Race, great to run some country roads. A nice bit of variance to the race with the sun and the wind towards the end. My pacing was way off, took off too fast for the first half but it didn't bite me in the behind for the final few kms thankfully. Finally got the 1.30 out of the way. Great atmosphere and I see why it's such an anticipated event. Thanks to all the volunteers and organisers for a great day out.
