    50 mins and managed to get a spot this evening. That system is very very slow. Couldn't get my friend in. :(

    I just went in and registered my friend. But I got a confirmation email straight away but I didn't get one when I registered myself earlier on.

    I have the confirmation number so hope that the system is just updating the back log and this may explain the delay.

    I'm In..... Twice!!!

    Site crashed as I entered my card details and I went again.....
    Worked the second time and then I got two confirmation mails!

    Was on to Primo to throw one back.. so that should free up a spot for someone else

    Looking forward to this as I got in this year but couldn't make it on the day.

    It wouldn't allow me register twice. I never got a confirmation email.

    Just registered two entries just now, but site said they were down to last 10 entries. Should be good for club entries for the next two days (8th and 9th).

    I tried from 8pm to 8:45 entering my details repeatedly as it kept timing out. Gave up in the end.

    Do you just click on 'online entry' on Ballycotton running promotions for club entry? IU've been clicking away and it just says 'no entries available' and it's ten o'clock now!!!!!

    ETA: It opened a minute after this and I registered three people in no time! No waiting for the order to go through etc. Hurray! We're in!

    I was tied up with something yesterday so a friend was taking care of registering, judging by the flood of texts he had a lot of grief but finally got it sorted sometime before four.

    Impressive number of comments on the dodgy registration site on the Running in Cork blog!

    I THINK we're booked in? Got the confirmation page and an order number etc. but haven't got the confirmation email yet. Did the rest of you get emails?

    Send Primo an email with your confirmation number. I never got an email last night after booking so sent them a screen grab of my confirmation number. Got an email around lunch time to day with confirmation and an apology for the delay

    Brill! Thanks! Did actually do that at lunchtime today, so maybe I'll hear from them tomorrow.

    Thanks!

    I know it's not for a month, but does anyone by any chance have a course description (maybe from their report on years past?) (I don't mean a map -- I'm terrible with maps! :))

    I remember the bit out of the village, and the bit past Ballymaloe, and I know there's a hill at about mile 8, and I remember the run into and through the village, but any more detail would be v appreciated!

    The course is shaped like a lassoo - three miles out of town, around a four mile loop, then three miles back to town the way you came out. Sharp downhill in first half mile, then undulating for another mile. The course is then quite flat except for the net uphill closing mile and a half, finishing up the same hills you cruised down earlier.

    This is one of my regular long run loops. Descriptions above are spot on.
    Only thing I'll add is the last 1.5 miles is a bit of a pain. It is undulating, goes up, flattens out, goes up, flattens out a few times. You keep thinking you're at the top of the hill but then there's another one. The hills aren't even steep but it does feel like a long drag at that point.

    Other than that the start is really busy, streets are narrrow and you'll have gone the guts of a mile before you'll be able to get into your stride if you're starting anyway back.

    Brill, thanks! I love the start, because of the song, all the crowds etc, and then Dick Hooper from Raheny is usually on that hill at 8 miles, so I have to look good there, and then I think, even thought there's more than a mile run in to town the straight road, and all the support once we get to the church(?) / school (?) and all the way in to the finish should keep us going!

    I think there may have been a problem with my address during registration. In all the confusion I think I may not have entered my complete address. I did email the registration company be I got no reply. I should have followed it up but I just forgot all about it. Will I be able to sort this out on race day if my number doesn't arrive? My name is on the list of entries.
