Yep I expected the great run to be about 1k to be honest. But i'd say there is money for some for jsut showing up as i'd expect(hope) fagan made more then 500 for coming second last year.

was trying to look up the prize money for the womens mini marathon one day and couldnt find it anywhere ?

The My Sport 10k in February paid out €500 last year when the course record was broken, that was on top of the winners prize money
This year they're offering €500 again to man or woman that breaks either record, along with €200 to first placed man and woman

Pretty good for what is a club run event at the heart of things

I stand corrected by the greatest club treasurer ever, the prize money for the MSB race is actually
1st €1000
2nd €500
3rd €250
4th €100
for both male and female competitors. Taking team and vet categories into consideration the total prize fund last year was 6,400 euro. Not bad for a club race!!!!!!!! And I am affiliated to the club BTW.
