Missed this last year, but it got rave reviews from anyone I know who did it.
Gonna give it a lash as it fits nicely into my training plan...which is nice
The early bird entry fee is still active ( today anyways )for anyone thinking about it.

Will it be ok for someone else to collect my race pack, as i wont actually get into Cork until sat evening?

I'm in as well, didn't realise you had to collect stuff in advance 'til I saw your post! No problem getting stuff for you, fire me a pm closer to the day & we can arrange something.

Cheers Opus. I just meant would it be ok if someone else collected on my behalf, my brother can pick it up for me. As in he won't need ID or some sort of confirmation from me that he can collect on my behalf.

Agree it shouldn't a problem, it's not the olympics after all I collected numbers for 3 people for the Clon marathon last year & all I had to do was give their names.

How did you find it today? It's a nice testing course I think with the rolling hills although the bit of wind today made some of them a bit annoying. Finishing on the CIT track is nice touch at the end to spur you on!

It was great! Even though I run around here a lot I've never taken that left turn off model farm road before (always head out to the guide dogs building then back in straight road) so it was a new experience. Hillier than I anticipated and wind was strong at times but it was a nice challenge. The fact I wasn't running for a time and just there to enjoy it meant no pressure on myself - ended up running 39:01 which was just 2 secs off a pb. Legs held up surprisingly well after Chicago last week. Organisation was fantastic too, loads of fruit and water at the end and great support from marshals all the way round. How did you find it?

Wow that was a great result a week after Chicago! Was my last session before the Frankfurt marathon next Sunday so was coming at it from the opposite side Thankfully it went fine.

Noticed they withheld results for 8 people, first time I've seen the 'no-headphones' rule actually enforced!

Please Note: Results withheld for the following bib numbers:
225, 258, 495, 513, 578, 618, 734, 743
Due to wearing of headphones

Good to see a race actually following through with the threat. I think they did it last year aswell.

I really enjoyed this event. Very well organised all round, and lovely course. I'd like to do it again.
