Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

4 stars (good)I'll have a go at that. Anyone want to pass as my wife and kids to avail of the family discount?
Well now that we're such a progressive and open-minded country, having legislated for same-sex civil partnerships, how about you take Digdig as your lawfully partnered and then myself and one of the other young saplings on here can pretend to be the kiddies. Although in typical Irish style, we have not provided for same-sex adoption so I don't know how we would, in fact, get over that hurdle. Leave it with me… All in the name of discounted entry fees!

And Brian took the bait of the cheap laugh instead of recognising the witty undertone of the comment which I put forward at my own expense! So much to learn young skywalker. You may be the second sapling!

alas, with the GAA finals and the 6 nations match against england being on the day before I doubt I'll be in any state to do this run this year!
Did it last year and really enjoyed it, suppose it will depend if I'm hungover or still drunk as to whether I'll do it or not

The elites were roped off last year, but other than that a free for all. RAL3 and I were standing a couple of rows back from the elites last year when a bunch of schoolkids hopped in beside/in front of us :rolleyes:
But it thins out soon enough, the streets are fairly wide, and it's very flat with not a lot of sharp turns, so definite PB potential.0 -

4 stars (good)There's a bag drop in the Mansion House.
You should join from the back, and you'll probably want to start about 100m from the front. A good rule of thumb is to see how much clothing the people around you are wearing -
singlets + shorts = fast runners
long-sleeved tops and tracksuit bottoms = slow runners and walkers
Three quarter length capris + commercial (nike/adidas/etc) vests = the inbetweeners who fancy themselves as runners but really have a long long way to go :rolleyes: See you there!
I’m seeking a PB – loathe to call it but would love love love to go sub 21:30…everything crossed!! Best of luck to all. And enjoy 0 -

How did you find out about the bag drop? I've been trying to find out about practicalities (like toilets, changing facilities, what time I need to be there, do they have refreshments afterwards or should I bring my own) but couldn't find anything. Contacted the organisers but no reply.
Very impressed with all your time goals. My goal is just to finish (yep, that's a long sleeved top etc unless it's roasting)! 0 -

We've done the race the last 2 years They are all set up in the Mansion House so you can get changed there in the bathrooms. There are also portaloos on Molesworth St for toilet needs. No refreshments after asfair - apart from what's in your goody bag (you get this when you collect your number so will be left in bag drop).
