Looks like there's a 10k in the Port Tunnel coming up!

I think that they were hoping to raise €150K for charity so maybe turnout was much lower than they expected as €32*1,700= €54,400 (not counting anyone that donated extra or got sponsors etc).

Honestly it was too bright for the lasers, the rules of the tunnel meant that no lighting could be turned off so it was a no go i believe.

I even brought my own lighting and didn't use it as you would not have really seen it at all.

Ya i believe they were hoping for bigger numbers but i feel its better to do it with smaller numbers and build on the previous year. A lot of events go big too quick and it turns into a mess.

Oh and the numbers that entered were just over 2,000.
