I'd say its perfect for London preparation so i'd say i'll be giving it a lash. It clashes with Ballycotton so i might have to scrap that entry. Will miss Ballycotton but this half Mara will be without the hassle!!!!! - i wont miss that element.

40+ entered already - it's this or the Kinvara - anyone got a course profile?

I haven't heard of one being available but the terrain around Bohermeen does not contain any inclines of any significance. I imagine they will be using parts of their 5 mile course and if so the steepest inclines would be when crossing the M3.

Yeah, fits in nicely with the Spring marathons. They seemed to have filled a niche nicely there.

A course profile seems to have been added to the Bohermeen AC website since yesterday.

Been looking for a half around this time to fit in with training, Meath is a bit of a trek from Cork though...

TheRoadRunner · 12-01-2012 1:01pm

Looks great. Their 5 miler is a good race so I expect this to be well organised. 20 euro as well

, it's a steal. Doing a Spring marathon myself and was worried I wouldn't have a good half in the prep, previous years I was forced to head north of the border but this is much handier.

farrelli · 12-01-2012 1:24pm

This will be my first half marathon, so looking forward to it.

I'm going for this one too. Haven't signed up yet though. Good to have something near this early in the year.

T runner · 12-01-2012 3:18pm

Looks good. All going well ill be doing it as prep for a Spring marathon also. Handy and will be well run.

corny · 12-01-2012 7:13pm

Looking forward to it as Marathon preparation. If i get there in one piece.:)

BeepBeep67 · 12-01-2012 8:55pm

Is there a phased entry fee increase or is it €20 until closing?

€20 the whole way i think.

farrelli · 12-01-2012 9:55pm

Just a heads up, I emailed the organiser and he said they expect this event to fill quickly so get in early if your committed. They are considering restricting numbers to the first 1000 entries.

Only 951 places left, hurry, hurry ;-)

Nules10 · 12-01-2012 10:55pm

Only 40 mins or so away from me. Signed up last week. 20e great price

umpire bat · 13-01-2012 1:03am

Tts about time a club put on a half marathon at a realistic price. Its also good to see people copping on to some of the pricier events.

Lex Luther · 13-01-2012 12:21pm

Signed up ! - should be a good fitness/progress test for Rotterdam in April...

Steeped in Meath with all the 14 races in the Meath Running League, all great value, something for everyone and a great buzz about them too. No need to be doing privately run races.

Not only that, but you can enter for 3 races (Half (March), 5K (June) and 5 Mile(September)) as a package for the princely sum of €50

I'll 2nd that. Have run Dunboyne 4m, Bohermeen 5k and Dunshaughlin 10k for the last few years. Top class value for money, excellent organisation, good racing, tshirts, food after. Each for about €15 approx.
And now a HM for €20..fair play to Bohermeen AC.

Have to say i've done a few races in Meath this past few years and found them very professionally run. Fair play to all concerned. Very reasonably priced as well. Well done.

Signed up for this today, great value at €20 for a half marathon. Going to run it as an LSR @9min/mile, my goal early season race is a week after.

PaulieYifter · 16-01-2012 11:10am

I'm in - should be perfect prep 6 weeks out from Rotterdam
