I know a few of the lads are running this as a tune up for the 100 miler in Connemara.

Afaik, they had a 1 mile lap of the town last year that they did 26.2 times :eek:. I think they are going to use a few diffeent routes thsi year though. Oisin11178 should be able to give you more info about all this though.

Im told the courses are flat enough but i havnt seen them myself. Should be good crack:D
This is not the same event as was held in November by the way, just for the mods info(woddle). That event is still taking place this november. So the last year thread part is a bit misleading. this is aimed more towards the self sufficient marathon muncher,ultra end of the market. As it says in the poster its not aimed for inexperienced or first time marathon runners:D

4/5 of the courses are in the sixmilebridge area with other being in Quin. Courses are not pancake flat but are easy on the feet compared to other marathon courses in Ireland.

All going well, I'll be up for all the 5 in 5.

Will be strange having the first 3 in the evening. I'll have to find something to pass the time in the afternoon waiting for the start, maybe go for a jog?????..... kidding.

Its the 10k course combining the start and finish points with approx 50 mtrs to be run before joining the first loop.

If you live in the area you are more than welcome to come out and run a lap or 2

didnt expect a pb as had only done one 18miler in training for longford! really held bac and didnt expect to do under 4 considering at 20miles i was at 3.02.58 sarah was a real boost from then on for 3 miles but i left her at 23 and blasted (for a plodder that is !) last 3 miles in 8.48, 8.26 and 8.21 just squeezed in with 30 seconds to spare! you know i mite try 2 marathons in 5 days next year! a big thumbs up for the organisation, ya it was no frills but there was great support along the way between runners and I didnt get lost.

It might have been billed as no frills, but it still ticked all the boxes that ever race should tick.

A big thank you also to the girls in the tent they did Registration, time keeping feeding us and most importantly cheering us on ever lap. Also Garda Pat who looked after runner safety

The course is tough but fair challenge, I finally got my soft marathon PB down a bit. Will do 1 again next year for sure but how yeah do 5 is beyond me, just back from physio and i am sore everywhere.

Best of luck to anyone doing the remaining 3.

Yes it WAS a tough course, last 2 miles in each loop was a real drag ! loved mansion watching as I was jogging by !

Think this will be even more popular next year !
