    Hey,

    Has anyone done the Newry half marathon?

    Wondering if it's as flat as they say and what the parking around the area is like

    Any info is greatly appreciated

    Did it last year. It couldn't be any flatter. It's an out and back route. parking on the street is fine as it's a Sunday so free. Alternatively there is ample parking in the Quays shopping centre which is £1 an hour and across the road from the start and finish.

    Did it last year too, as KJ says couldn't be flatter. However i found it one of the most boring courses I've ever ran. In through an industrial estate and then out and back the dual carriageway, the only bit of scenery was near the turn at narrow water bridge.
