Limerick Marathon 2024

Hi I think the amount of housing estates has something to do with higher Insurance costs and road closures on more of the main roads.

My 10th time doing the event, I'm a local and have done all the distances.

Think there was extra waves in the Half, probably to reduce the congestion when the Half and the full met.

Didn't quite make my goal time but still a great day 🙂

Well organised event again, was glad I remembered to bring along some sun cream with me or I'd have been cooked. Personally I was taking it very easy as recovering from a hamstring niggle but I lost all energy after ~30k, found out the reason this morning with a positive CV-19 test 😕Oh well a few days rest at home isn't the worst plan.

Well done to everyone taking part, heat made it harder than normal.

So who cleaned up collecting all the bottles. All them 15 cents getting thrown away.

I saw one person in around the top 10 in the half throw a bottle into a grass area just as you came down after the interchange on the way back to the city.

Whatever about side of road but into the grass area it wasn’t getting collected

Ran out of Medals at 5hrs?

Yeah there are af few complaints about it in social media and it seems to be ignored.

Still haven't got the tshirt either . I would be surprised if they ever actually send it out.

Shame about the medals aswell as anyone doing a 1 and done would treasure it. I have done few enough marathons that I would be fairly aggrieved not to have a medal. Maybe that changes the more you do but many at 5 hrs or more wouldn't be frequent marathon runners.

There are two people in my running group who didn't get medals, a 5 hour and a 6 hour finisher. Getting no response from the organisers, fairly poor form!

Trampas

They gave out marathon finisher medals to relay people. I wonder if that was the issue.

If the organisers don’t get back to your two running buddies I’ll happily send one of them on my medal from the race. Collecting medals and T-shirts isn’t really my thing and much respect to those out there for 6 hours🙌😊

Facebook post up today that they have medals in and will be distributing them.

Got my T-shirt in the post today. They also sent me an apology letter and 35% off the entry to next years event.

Can't argue with that can you? 😊
