    Already in. Did this last year and was on the list again for this year. Really well organised and a fairly flat route. Looking forward to it.

    Looking forward to this, a little tester two weeks before CCM. There'll be about 50 of the Cru there on the day, I believe.

    I'll likely be standing on some corner preventing people taking shortcuts pointing people in the right direction and offering encouragement.

    Am very tempted to do this, as the course looks a good one, but I'm due to play a round of golf on Saturday (most likely with at least 2-3 compulsory pints on 19th hole) and so I'd probably be wasting my €21.40 in entering.
    However, a fast, flat course like that could probably offset any tiredness in the legs, though I've found in the past that even a training run doesn't go too well the morning after a golf outing.

    Signed up the other day. Went for my first run in about 7 months on Saturday.

    I'm still sore.

    How are your kids at marshalling? Or maybe pacing? I'm sure we could find something for them!

    Is there anywhere nearby to park? I'm not running but thought I'd head down to give a bit of support.

    I reckon if you are down early it should be ok to find somewhere, the streets around Bushy park usually have spaces but probably would fill up early.

    EDIT: Official Line from the website:

    We encourage our competitors to walk, cycle, use public transport or car pool.
    There will be limited parking in the grounds of Terenure College.
    Our Ladys school on Templeogue Road across the road from Terenure College (accessed through Bushy Park House) will be providing an overflow car park.
    On street parking is available in the surrounding roads and estates.

    Registration? It's in the sports world clubhouse, beside the tennis courts. There are directions posted up, also if you search on Google maps you'll find it.
