    Hi All,

    just received an email saying that there will be 3 races next year. It will be on the 15th of May. The full starts at 8.45am and the 10km and half at 9am. Its a good start time. Last year they didn't start till 1pm.

    I would have preferred a bigger start time between the full and half as it would allow for everyone to finish together.

    Hope to do the full but will need to get over the DCM first. It was a great event this year and very well organised.

    Got that email too. Glad of the earlier start - it was fairly hot this year and starting at 1pm didn't help. Good to see water will be in bottles too. Nice to see organisers listening to feedback - looking forward to this - a focus for next year :)

    This was brilliantly organised this year and I think that I will sign up for the marathon next year. It will be nice to do a marathon where I can wake up in my own bed that morning.

    It is a pity that the half isn't starting at 11 so there would be a good finishing crowd for the marathon but there might be a good enough crowd for the marathon itself. Should get a few hundred anyway.

    Won't be doing Belfast now though.
