    Hi,

    Just printed out the form and will submit entry early next wk. Hopefully the limit hasn't been exceeded...

    Sounds like a great event, a lot smaller than the big city marathons which is why its so appealing!

    Cheers,

    Alasdair

    Looks good ! My friend KB sent in an entry in last few days - wonder was he #100 ??
    Edit: is that a hill or is it the angle of the picture (or my eyes !)

    It's your eyes. There are no hills in county Kildare.

    The photos all show Tarmac :confused:

    last year was mucky and some of it on fireroad trails but road shoes would still have been best.
    This year the trails have all been tarmacked so there is no discussion.

    if that's tarmac, I'd be asking for my money back from the contractor! Looks more like compacted aggregate or a rough case of tar and chips to me from the photos which is not the same as a well laid and rolled road surface.
    Its my first 26miles + race so I need to be sure my feet can hold up for 4.30 hours of running on conditions they are not used to.
    reasonable request I believe, so don't understand your frustration? If there is a newbie thread for this I will gladly take myself there and not bother you with dumb ass questions.....:mad:

    Any chance of sticking me on the waiting list?
    I completely missed this thread. No chequebook, so I'd have to send a draft or postal order and don't want to waste the money if I'm too late.

    Thanks

    hi all,

    quick question - Im running Donadea 50km as my first 26+ race - the missus wants to come and support..

    question is - Is it easy for spectators to follow the race and can she wander off for a walk around the forest park herself? Are parking facilities close enough to the course that she could hop in and out of the car if the weather wasn't great?

    ta

    10 laps so there's always someone running past.
    Aid stations are right beside a coffee shop.
    Car Park is a couple of hundred meters from the course.
