    Always good to see a new race , especially a 10 miler.
    Fingers crossed for a flat elevation profile !!

    Edit..just found this link to registration for it

    http://precisiontiming.primo-solutions.co.uk/ps/event/ClonakiltyAC4Mileand10MileRun2014


    Not on facebook myself so maybe there's additional info on the race such as the course info?

    Not too many boardsies doin this I guess?
    Fits nicely into my training plan for the CorkCity1/2M, along with
    The Castle Island 10mile on the 11th May.
    I copied the route into mapmyrun from John Desmonds plan
    so we can get an idea of the course elevation.
    Looks like a 2.5mile pull to the 6 mile mark and then its all
    downhill really. Looking forward to it now.
    It would be great if the weather was like this weekends(fingers crossed).

    Mr.W~

    Hopefully the weathers going to hold now for Monday, what a week !
    Have heard/ received nothing since I entered online, so I'm guessing
    I have to pick up my no.& chip at registration. Should be there in plenty
    of time so not panicking. Bringing the family down for a day out & looking forward to some
    Guinness, mussels and black pudding after the event...just love Clonakilty.

    That was extremely hilly, painfully windy and very, very difficult. The winner ran 1:01 and is normally a 56 minute man according to a guy I spoke to after the race.

    Very well organised though. Marshals were excellent and the spread afterwards was huge. Great value for €15. Well done to all involved.

    Agree about the wind alright, was gusty in places. I was expecting the hill & wasn't going for a pb so it didn't effect me too much. Kept up a 7min/mile pace and came in at 69.30 so very happy with it. Stewards and grub were great. Coulda done with water between 5&6 miles as it was a very warm day once we turned inland. Will defo be back to do it justice next year!
    Well done CRR for organising a great 10miler !
