didn't receive mine yet either. I'm not too upset about it anyway, it was a great race.

That's for sure.
Nobody is questioning the quality of the event. But the organisers shouldn't be making extravagant statements and commitments that are not being met. This will only blot an otherwise spotless record.
TBH I think most people would have been satisfied with the cotton T- shirt supplied on the day.

They were giving out cotton t-shirts at the finish line, no?

edit: What they've done btw is second to none. They've stayed true to their word and still worked to ensure that they can provide tech t-shirts to competitors which they didn't really have to do since it wasn't really their fault the initial quality problem was not their fault.

edit2: judging by their facebook page they are being shipped directly from the supplier so pretty much out of Mallow AC's control (remember the supplier and not mallow are the ones who f*cked up in the first place)

RacoonQueen your mentality is exactly what puts people off posting in these forums.

I was under the impression that I could come on here and ask a question. If you bothered to read the thread and inform yourself you will see that I actually praised the organisers. I did not blame anyone, I simply asked did anyone receive a technical top. No need for the bully boy tactics.

Not received the tech top, but to be honest it doesn't bother me in the least.

They already gave out a top and I'd rather they put the money for postage etc into running the local club then waste it sending a tech top out to me in the post, (if it is costing them anything of course).

If its the printers feck up then they can send it whenever but I'm still not pushed about it

tbf a top if priomised on reg for your fee then its fair enough that they provide it. i know they gave out a cotton one but perhaps it was the tech top that meant people chose this race to do.

I am not using 'bully boy tactics' and no one is stopping you from asking a question all I was doing was resopnding to you, but if you want to throw a hissy fit...

The current topic btw is about the tech t-shirts, not about 'informing' myself of your previous comments in the thread which are completely irrelevant to the current topic.

psychozeb

I am in the same boat as everyone else posting here,still waiting on my top too.I've been informed that the tops have been sent out by what method I don't know. If we had got the right tops we wouldn't have this issue and hopefully it's not going to effect peoples opinion on the race itself.

I have been running topless for weeks due to this. Oh the humanity. Might have to wear one of the other tops I have.

Before anyone throws a Mickey-fit, At this stage I couldn't give a tuppence fvck if we never get these damned shirts, but on a weekend of disappointment (see Viking Marathon thread) it reminded me that we were left down on this issue as well. (not on the same scale admittedly).

This will probably push you over the edge so The Limerick Marathon organisers are sending me a second t-shirt as they only had XXL left when my stuff was collected, they emailed me today to say I'll have a M this week sometime.

Yeah I've moved on from the Mallow t-shirt debacle as well, it's not like I need more t-shirts anyway!

mr.wiggle

I've been told by a club member that some have received theirs already, but I'm not one of them.
No doubt there'll be a concession for all disgruntled runners for next years race ....

run_Forrest_run

while I don't really care about the tops it would be nice just to be given an official word from the organisers regarding the tops that never materialised.

opus

Must admit I'd totally forgotten about this until I found a packet inside the door when I came home from work, inside was the elusive Mallow 10 t-shirt Presume everyone has/will shortly get one as well.

mr.wiggle

Yip, lovely top delivered this morning.:cool:
Mallow AC members can now come out of hiding..:pac:
Looking forward to another great race next year

Top arrived here too... a lovely surprise... Thanks Mallow AC... a grrrrreat 10 miler :-)

Cabaal

Got mine as well, hope it didn't cost Mallow A/C anything extra at this stage. if it did I'd have rathered they didn't send them out

MacSwifty
