    Which one?
    There's two of them being held.

    One is at the end of April and one is in May,
    One in May is a two loop course,

    Check the Marathon Club Ireland site for updates, entry details will probably be posted closer to the race date.

    Any idea what the route's like?

    Oisin. Thanks for that. I think MCI are trying to sort out a discount. Will have to keep an eye out. Thanks again

    You wouldn't be involved in the organising by any chance? ;)

    Will likely do the one in April, only pain is Callan has a 10km the next day and I wanted to do it....ok, I could still do it but I'd be far from racing it!

    A big congrats to Tullaroan AC and MCI on a great race last Saturday. All augers well for the main event on May 31.

    Course is tough but a smashing pint of ale in Connolly's awaits those planning to take part.

    So who's doing this? I'm doing the 1/2, for no other reason other than it passes by my house :)


    I'm not too worried about the time, I'm going to run it by my HR rather than pace. It's too hilly for me to be worrying about a PB time!

    I'll be ambitious & say I'll break 1hr50, though with tender achilles and a hilly course, I'll take anything.

    I'm going to do the half. There's a couple of hefty hills on that course, but I have plenty of hill work done, and I'm hoping this will pay off.
    I'm looking to break 1hr35, which would be a PB for me. It's ambitious, but on a good day definitely achievable.
    I hope you'll have refreshments outside the house Toblerone ;-)
