    According to aburke, BAC are not listed in the clubs-list. Best get this sorted before recruiting runners! I will have just returned from Connemara the previous week, so won't be running. But I might be in there anyway for the kids race, so will be there to cheer on fellow team-mates.

    I've contacted them already on this, so hope to hear back soon.

    It actually doesn't matter, as you will be entering via the AAI directly, and not using the online form.

    When you registered with BAC you should have recieved your number, if you didnt send peckham an Emaill or PM to get this. You will need to be registered for 2010 :)

    I'll email all registered members with their AAI registration details, so that everyone has them for future reference.

    signed up to do this last year but couldnt do it , €35 down the swany , since only twenty euros this year for AAI members might as well make use of it !

    Is it 35yoyos to do this if your not in the AAI??
    Edit- just looked at the website 'prices from 30eur'. To run a 10k in the park!! The words fool, money, parted come to mind.

    ya can sing that , if i rem correctly from a thread a while back , €35 is used to cover celeb appearances ( fat chance of seeing them if you 40+mins and they 30-mins )
    me would think its more if you not AAI member . wouldnt even think of doing it now if i had to fork out €35 !

    For €20 it's not too bad at all especially if they let the AAI runners into a seperate pen from the regular riff raff. I'll be stood on the side somewhere with the camera for this one though.

    And how exactly does that make it right? Why not make it 50eur or 100eur because its 'for charity'. There are loads of 5k's and 10k's on the calander which charge 15 or 20eur and many give a donation to charity. 30eur is a rip off plain and simple. But its your call, if you want to throw your yoyos away on an over-hyped event like this, be my guest.

    Its expensive alright for only 10km esp when you compare it to the BHAA races and the value for money they provide. But gonna do this anyways as Im following a 10km training plan and from a timing point of view its perfect for me. Will aim for a new 10km pb..

    So your willing to spend 20 euro but not an extra tenner. tell me what other 10k's raise as much as the GREAT IRELAND RUN in one day. Also when is helping to support 2 deserving charitys throwing away money.

    The Great ireland run might be expensive for a run in the park but it is a great way to get newbie runners into running and then progress into clubs and bhaa road races. I am a newbie runner so i might be talking out my A hole but just my 2 cents

    How much does it raise?
    I know people doing it for charity but they have sponsorship cards , not sure how much of the 30 goes directly to charity. Could be wrong but i've never seen a figure or %

    When you run for charity they send you out a pack. http://www.greatrun.org/events/event.aspx?id=7

    This is getting off topic now, so who is running for BAC?

      We can't all be going to Rotterdam and Connemara though, can we...

      Right sign me up for the 2 mile one (leg 3) and i'll cancel my speed session on Friday night and do this instead. I'll be doing my long run on Saturday so hope my legs have something left in them for this. I've washed the vest so at least i'll smell nice.:)

      I'm guessing all the details are on the Raheny Shamrocks site or will come to me via a Boards email?

      What time does it kick off? Can't find the start time on the websites. I don't know Raheny, is there parking in the area?
