Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon, Half & 10k

paulers06

Don't think there's a thread for this yet

Just about to register for the half. Saw that you can register through Precision Timing or Active Networks. What's the difference? Other than €1.50 transaction fee

Hopefully they revert back to the 2013 hilly course for the half.

I didn't know there were different ways of registering. Could I see the links?

I was going to reg here: https://endurancecui.active.com/event-reg/select-race?e=11084052&int=29-110-2

The course: I was speaking to the organisers. It was unconfirmed when I asked in June, but I've messaged them again asking has there been an update. Will let you know.

Here's the link for precision timing. They've taken it down from the Clonakilty website and looks as though the reg on the website is closed. Maybe they sold all of their registrations

Guess that's my question answered anyway. Active networks it is then!

Just signed up there now myself. Birthday weekend in Clonakilty - bring it on!

They told me they'll be finalizing the route by the end of this week all going well and will release more details.

Thinking of doing this as a post DCM race. Anyone recommend it from previous experience? Website, new routes, medal and tops all look great but a fair trek from Dublin.

Did Clonakilty in 2013 but gave it a miss last year when they changed the course. This year's course looks pretty much like the original, except the start and finish being at the Quality Hotel. Great course, a good bit of it along the coast, stiff enough (good bit more than Dublin) and good atmosphere around the town. Great place for a weekend, if you can get a bed! I plan on doing it after DCM!

Just registered for the half, looking forward to it already!!

I'm in too. Time to ramp up

netmann

I've registered for the half.

Is this the new route or last year's route?

Not last year's route, thankfully. More like the old route, except the start/finish is at the Quality Hotel.

Just entered the full. It'll be my first marathon. #whathaveidone?!

Only a couple of days now, how's everyone fixed?

Supposed to be doing the half but left calf/ankle area hasn't been great since DCM. Pain is on the inside of my leg just above the ankle. Feels like it's the bone that's sore so am worried that it may be a stress fracture. I'm starting my next training cycle on the 12th for Rotterdam so might rest it until then. Will make a call on the day. Wasn't planning on racing it anyway. My OH is doing the 10k so might just cheer him on and enjoy the weekend away

Hopefully the weather will improve! It's some crappy day in Limerick today!

This is gonna be a wash out with 50mph gusts

Just the way I like it

Killerz

Worryingly feel a bit of a flu coming on which is not good. I'll still run the marathon but may not enjoy it as much if symptoms persevere.

I'm hoping the weather eases up just a little. I'll take the rain if the wind stays away.

I'll just wait and see and hope so....

Any chance of this being due to the weather?

Still on, as of this afternoon ...

Disappointed that it's cancelled but the weather is ferocious!

Cheers, crazy cancelling the morning of. I'm not that far away but still a pain in the backside to get there only to find out it's been cancelled.

Should have been cancelled yesterday like Waterford. Clonakilty was singled out in some of the weather reports as being particularly bad, bad form on the organisers part.
