Good man Sosa.

In a world "gone mad" with new races, a top notch favourite making a welcome return is always good news.

Thinking of doing this one. Well timed for Barcelona.

one of my best races around. Hands down.

Brianderunner

Did it in 07 and 08, planning on making my comeback this year. Only 3 weeks after Mallow unfortunately which doesn't leave much recovery time.

Woddle

I did it in 09, super race and I'll be back aswell.

Actually this is the race where my car broke down and I thought I was 3 rows from the top and then everyone turned around leaving me at the back. I had a terrible first mile as a result. I had 69'47 on my watch but crossed the line in 70'02 by theirs.

chinguetti

As a good Waterford man, i feel i should finally do a race in Waterford at some stage. Might be the one.

The rule of thumb is not to race again for one day per mile raced. For Mallow and Dungarvan you have twice that. No problem whatsoever.

blind_hurler

Looking forward to this again... Ran it the last two years and really enjoyed it... probably went home heavier than I started with all the food afterwards....

Van.Bosch

Probably be the same day as theRaheny 5 Mile which I like to do but 15EUR for a 10 Miler is excellent value. Might give it a go

When I ran it in 09, they claimed chip time but it was the ugly sister of chip timing (no mat at the start)

I reckon it will be better this year,Colbert timing were just getting started then,have done loads of races since,all well timed.

Yeah think it was the same last year but sure start near the front and it's only out for a few seconds only..

Just don't stand right down the back for the start :D:D

Oh yeah i know that its just that 10 mls racing leaves me soft for 2 weeks and i won't be able to get quality stuff done in between with a view to Barcelona in March.

Woddle

I see the date has been announced 30th of January, gives 5 weeks to Barcelona, so I'm definitely in.

scout33

There is a 1.500 limit on this race for 2011 and i would say this will fill before christmas no problem lads and lassies so don't be disapointed

Yeah a great new website and a great race although I don't see nike mentioned for the tech top...

"included in which will be a dry fit running shirt for all the 10 Mile participants"

It was nike last year....that was why scout probably presumed

scout33

ye its a nike shirt same as last years i hear and that was worth the entry fee alone.

Signed up for it this afternoon. I really enjoyed it last year. A well organised race.

Hoping for a black/navy tech top this time

Cartman78

Signed up this morning.....will give me a focus over the winter and sounds like an excellent event from everything i've heard.

scout33

i hear entries for the quantum life dungarvan 10 mile are pouring in talking to some runners who were at this race last year its not to be missed and they have reduced the entry fee to 15 euro.they gave a nike dry fit t shirt and a huge goodie bag last year i'm going anyway anyone else up for it.

heffsarmy

Signed up for this, done it last year, its a great race, excellent value at 15euro, my 10mile pb needs a proper updating.

colblimp

I'm in! Did this race earlier this year and it was my first time under 70 minutes so I'm doing it again next year to see if I can improve on my PB.

I'd recommend this race to anyone!

Woddle

Have just spent the last 15 minutes or so trying to register but am having alot of problems with active.com :mad:

I know it's going back to the dark ages and all that, but why not enter via snail mail?! :eek: Post your entry tomorrow and it'll arrive by Thursday. There's no way the race will sell out so you'll be in, and you'll save on the booking fee.

Just signed up - want to revise a soft PB

Woddle

Finally got signed up. First I knew about it was an email confirming payment but last night I never got that far before I could confirm payment the page kept going but I'm in so who cares and I'll be going for sub 70.

mrak

how the hell are they managing to do so much for that price - it's unbelievable. Dungarvan must have either a great accountant or sponsor...!

scout33

Its some value for 15 euro alright those nike dry fit running tops are 30 euro in the shop for starters and the goodie bag last year was unreal not to mention the afters in the sports centre.i suppose with the great sponsorship the club gets for the race they can put on such a class show in any case the lads in west waterford ac deserve to be supported there a real genuine running club who do what they say -look after all runners from first to last.

Can you tell me how you can put a mat at a start of that race. The start line is approx 20 meters wide.

scout33

i hear that they have well over half of the 1,500 entries cut off number in as of today.thiswill defently be filled before the jan 17th closing date.its the best value 10 miler in the country for sure.ran it last year sur the start is so wide that every runner gets on the start line if he or she wants to,i'd rather have that than a 6 foot wide start where you have to run over those mat things.

Without trying to upset some of our Cork friends on here,thats why...in my opinion, its a better race than Ballycotton.
Ease of parking,walk to the front of the line 2 mins before the start,flat(ish) route,loads of food afterwards with hot shower...to me that beats and history a race may have...oh and you will have 1000+ entries,so no fear of running the whole thing on your own.

scout33

yes i agree with all your comments sosa-the early bird 15 euro entry is now closed so its 20 from here untill jan 17th when the race entries close,hi but its still well worth the 20 anyway
