Tullamore Harriers Half Marathon 30th August

viperlogic

Anyone else going to do this or have feedback from previous years?

Going to use it as a tune-up race 7 weeks out from Amsterdam Marathon

Not sure. Toying with the idea at the moment. I'm signed up for the Frank Duffy 10 mile the week before, and the Phoenix Park HM three weeks after. I'll have to see how the training is coming along the next while, and then decide if I can (or want to) add it in to my schedule.

I did it last year. All in all I would recommend it. Really liked the club feel to it. Bit tight in starting area so make sure you're well positioned.
Liked the idea of finishing with a lap of the track, a novelty for a newby runner like I was.
Nice area to warm up and have a chat in the grounds of the club just of the road where the start was. Plenty of parking as well. From memory, there was a few rolling hills but nothing excessive

i ran it last year. a fair course with a few drags but no hills. very well organised with super friendly marshals and great food afterwards.

Planning on doing it...have the 10 miler in PP wk before also. Sounds like decent club race which I like to support.

Really enjoyed this one last year. Real club feeling to it. For 25 euro I got a great day. Parking was simple. Really well organised. Course is a real neg split course. 2nd half been easier. I put this race very close to the dungarvan 10 that how highly I rate it. Showers after it. 63 miles from my house and I would travel to this without a thought. Food after it was top class and I mean plenty of whatever you wanted. They even had chairs outside to sit down. Finish in The track is a nice touch. 5 stars for me. Proves that you don't have to rip of people to run a great event. I love supporting club events

Only two weeks to go now. I did it last year, great run, very well organised from very good facility, food and showers after so you won't go home starving and stinking. Nice course too, no long inclines.. all said one of the better halfs' in the calender.

Have signed up myself. It's 4 weeks out from the Berlin marathon but I reckon I'll give it a bit of a go anyway to see where I'm at with my training and pacing. Will be a good test! I'm looking forward to it now after all the positive reviews.

It's good value at €25, even if I do have to drive half way across the country to get there. There's hardly a t-shirt, is there?

There was last year. My favourite t-shirt to wear now actually.

http://tullamoreharriers.com/fixtures/ says there is 1 this year too.

Hey Marty, I was trying to look at the route in mapmyrun but it's saying you've made it private. Any chance you could change that setting so I could have a nose??

martyboy48

Sorry about that. Thought all my runs were public... That should do it there

WithCheesePlease

It is now, thank you very much! Very much appreciated.

SeanPuddin

Cheers Marty and well done on that time!

1:21:02 for me today! Nicely setup for Berlin. Great race and setup. Some spread afterwards. Definitely one for the calendar.

Jury definitely out on the top. Heard a couple of girls talking afterwards saying '"its a bit pink isn't it"
