    As Adrian says, you can collect on Sunday morning from 9-10.30 in Terenure College Gym, would suggest you don't til the last minute though

    Last year pickup was a bit of a disaster, I went really early, big queues and they made me come back later in the day for tshirt.

    Would be off the m50 through templeogue I imagine. What time do you think we would need to be there at to get parking close enough to the course ?

    Great sprint finish. Martin Fagan just edged it. Very big attendance and looked well organised. Spotted a few boardies. Well done all.
    Forgot to add Catherine McKieran first women.

    Great race today..

    My second time to run it..

    Dissapointed with my time however.. I was with the 35min pacers and the 1st mile was 6.20 approx and I suffered after that..

    My own fault.. Should have run my own race!

    Be back next year :)

    Well, the rain held off and a fantastic turn out with a lot of money raised for DEBRA IRELAND. Thanks to all who entered, it really was great to see. First mile seems to have caught a lot of people out, very easy to go too fast with it being the start and downhill/downwind today. Super performance by Catherina McKiernan winning the ladies race and Martin Fagan pipping Freddie on the line in the mens.

    Yeah 35 min pacers seemed to go off too fast.

    Good race, pretty sure that was different to the lapped route last time I ran (2010?)

    Crap time for me but I wasn't really chasing a time. Very narrow in spots and start was a nightmare. People should really be just moved from the start area when they are clearly not going to be battling for the top ten.

    Agreed the 35 min pacers seemed to go off a bit quick, but the first mile had a serious amount of traffic due to the usual large numbers of entrants who were way out of position. Last year I went hell for leather for Mile 1 and struggled through the rest, however today I was able to stay with the pacers, and edged ahead of them (Aoife & ???) towards the finish to nail a PB of almost a minute. Very well organised race, although maybe too many running today? The KCR turn was particularly tricky on both circuits. Needless to say, the feed afterwards was top class, and I'll definitely be back.

    Really enjoyed it today, good fun, a bit congested at times but not much to be done there.

    Paced it a bit better than last year.

    A lot of drivers in the area could do with a little patience!

    Thanks - but would it not make more sense for the results to be in Net order ?

    Well organised and enjoyable event, only issue compared to other events was the starting order.
