All funds raised go directly to the Dublin/Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team.

More info is below and thanks for all your fantastic support over the years and into the future!

I've been looking at this, the price has me reluctant to pull the trigger as Im signed up for a alot of other events before Xmas. Ye wouldn't have a discount code handy by any chance?
(I see the button there on the payment page)

I've been entered since Dec last year

There was probably an early bird discount. Will be my third time taking part, first one ended in the medical tent but at least last year I managed to finish under my own stream.

Hi BBW, the discount code is for groups of 10 or more. Unfortunately, we don’t have discount codes for single entrants. You can rest assured though, that all monies raised go directly to charity. Thanks

My 6th Run the Line coming up. Event of the year for me, only gripe is I can't do the short course and long course, both a great courses.

Did the Long course last year 2 weeks after DCM, it hurt a lot, so this year the marathon had to go!

Covered most of it last week... it is seriously muddy and overgrown along the forrest section to Tibradden. Still picking splinters out of my hands.

Yeah. Not sure if they plan to trim it back or not. I would have the natural advantage of a couple of hundred people in front to clear some of it

Same for me! But I'll remember to wear gloves just in case.

Gloves won't really be necessary. Leggings would be good though. And possibly a snorkle.

First time doing this... You're really selling it to me here!

Gaiters for your legs and hands would be ideal for the pine forrest section and water proof socks.

I remember last year I’d only stepped off the Wicklow way onto this section and immediately went on my ear. A lot more of that was to follow.

I'm doing the short route. Are those still required?

Oh im looking forward to this mudfest so!! First time and just did DCM so I will be taking it easy on short route ðŸ˜¬ any tips guys!! This pine forest sounds like fun..ouch!

RedRunner · 06-11-2019 4:23pm

Just did DCM and this is my first RTL. Opted for the long course. Am I bonkers? hadn't planned on going out and buying trail shoes specially for it either. Am I doubly bonkers?

I'd invest in a pair, have not done RTL, this will be 1st time after 1st DCM, but even in more rolling, easy hills i wear trail runners. Or I fall on my ass

I would definitely invest. Ask killerz about his experience 2 years ago with regular shoes. Granted, it was an icy day, but could well be again. Or wet. Id also consider downgrading to the short course so soon after DCM - did it myself (short) the past two years but taking it very easy.

Great event, enjoy whatever you do.

DubOnHoliday · 06-11-2019 10:14pm

Given the conditions lately you’d be mad to wear road shoes, you will have no grip and will go on your ear. You’ll definitely be at a disadvantage to everyone else that has them.

Thanks D. Yes , definitely considering the option of switching down to short course. Assume I'll be ok to do that on the day at registration.

Is falling on your ass not part of the fun?

Thanks DoH. Don't mind being at a disadvantage as I don't plan on "racing" it but do want to get through it in one piece. I'll consult with the Bank manager!

Anyone know what a good trail equivalent ( if there is such a thing) to Brooks Adrenaline GTS19 road shoe?

For Run the line long course, I want comfort and grip. For me thats currently Addidas Terrex Two which I got last week on the web for 60 quid and I recced the short course with them last Saturday with no issues (I used Addidas Terrex Tracerocker for the IMRA season and they served me well too).

Thing is you'll really need to try them on. I think I saw Salomon Speedcross in Sportsdirect the other day for 90 quid, they are quite popular, but I've not worn them myself. Sportsdirect also have other trail options in their store.
