Fantastic, I ran it last year and it was great fun. My wife is from Rosslare, so its a good excuse to go down there for Easter.

Its a great route and I usually try to run it whenever we are down. Hopefully it won't be as windy as last year!

Great value €12 for a 10k, something for the kids to do, hope to be at the Sunny SouthEast in my caravan anyway; this is going in the calendar!

wouldn't mind the rain really as it'll be warm but the wind would deffo be a factor....was run in a half gale force wind last year and with it being two laps, having to face into that head wind for a second lap wasn't a nice thought:o good race all the same though and if it wasn't windy (hard to imagine with it being directly beside the sea) would be a good fast course

have to agree it is a fast course but last year was run in a gale. hoping this year will be much better and we can squeeze a sub 32 out of the old legs. great for the kids had a little fun race on the beach last year and everyone got something. hope the wind stays away

runnerboy

another well organised race pity about the wind, couldn't quite break 32 but came near enough. def the wind was a big factor and the fact i went off too hard. overall the kids came 2nd and 3rd in the beach race and proudly showed off their certs. good family day out

that's great going runnerboy....... i did my run on the beach this morn and to be honest i was glad i wasn't going to rosslare cos the wind would nearly blow ya backwards so that sort of time for the 10k is very good......

Round of applause to the Wexford Triathlon Club, another well organised race with a great atmosphere and the kids loved the bouncy castle/assualt course which kept them amused while I slogged arount the circuit.:D

That bouncy castle was something else alright. I wanted to go on that myself. Well done to all who took part, that last push into the wind over the railway bridge seemed to sap a few, but there was the nice downhill finish.

Well organised event. Kids loved the bouncy castle and face painting. I went under 50 mins for the first time so delighted with myself.
