Dunmanway 10km, Sunday 15th June

Anyone doing it?

Between 2 minds, tore medial meniscus 2 months back when I was flying fit, but have started running again and have done an 11km IMRA run and a 7km road run in past 2 weekends. It's sore now but expect that will just wear off in time. Physio says I can go for whatever I feel comfortable with, wasn't fond of thought of fast downhills off road though, but Dunmanway is supposed to be flat and fast.

Would be interested in seeing if I can get anywhere near a sub 40, so if anyone is doing it around that pace please drop a hobbled runner a PM and help me out with pacing!

There will be a 40min pacer there to help you. He will try his best to help you

Just saw on there facebook page they have pacers for 40, 45, 50, 55 & 60 Minutes.


I have ran it a few times great course and great spread afterwards well worth doing.

I have run this a couple of times also ( going to do it this year again) - definitely a great atmosphere and lovely course with a great setup for changing and grub afterwards. I wouldn't describe it as flat, there's one long drag after halfway and a nasty steep one just before the finish. On the plus side - they have corresponding downhills. The pacers also help and the forecast is good. Hopefully you will go ahead with it Conor74.

Yeah, will head down and make an effort, stay in Saturday night and all!

Have never come next or near sub 40, think I would have done it earlier this year but was focussed on training for the Wicklow Way Ultra and doing some competitive 10km on a good route never really came into the mix. Then the injury, 2 months off, and kinda looking again at road runs and targets I haven't really aimed for in a while.

Can't make it this year but ran it last year. Some pulls in it indeed, esp the one at the very end was nasty, seemed vertical as the legs were shot by that stage! Once at the top of that, its a steep decent to the finish line where you don't have control of your legs. Very well ran race with loads of parking, easy reg, chip timing, water stations, and food. It won best 10K in Cork last year or year before

I ran this and it was very warm, Course was good and they provided additional water stations which was great. Also happy with my time which was a bonus.
Got a good laugh off a guy running in black jeans and a black shirt and cowboy hat who i passed just after the start. He must have been melting.
