I hope runireland have done something about their website and traffic. It has been a total joke trying to register for this event the last few years.

This may be the link < Here > but last year I think they only put the entry page online on the time it was meant to.

A little dejavu going on from 12months ago

How many entries are allowed for the series?

NTC

600, i think

NTC

is anyone able to find the link to enter the race? i keep getting the page but no link to enter.

Bob_the_dog

Why do I have 800 entries in my head, it was 8.45 last year before I got thru

finlma

A joke yet again. Surely this could have been predicted. It's hardly the New York marathon we're trying to enter. Runireland can't even handle a few hundred requests.

Foxx92

anyone got a link to the entry page? I keep getting to pages with no option to enter!

I'm having no problem loading the page. It's opening up straight away but there is still no button for entry yet.

As a protest you lot should stop trying to enter

Won't load!!

Clever idea though, could redirect everyone to a different website and clear some space to enter, try amphibianking.ie

I thought I'd be able to pull a fast one & enter through the second race on the 8th May - no joy:(

Half of you will be finished the 5k by now.

Bob_the_dog

Be happy you're even gettin that far

DOCO12

or possibly sharing the link to an inside group of people and guaranteeing themselves places before making it public </conspiracy>

It's been the same the last few years.

Is Mick Rice in Tuam in charge? Can anyone get in touch with him to see if we'll be able to enter tonight. I'm afraid to even go to the toilet in case I miss out.

as anyone who has ever worked in I.T., there is NO REASON THAT THIS SHOULD BE SO DIFFICULT :mad:

Its a mick at Athenry AC who is the contact, poor chap is going to have a truck load of emails to go through. Be creative with the subject line to dodge the 'delete' button.

Bob_the_dog

No entry button here now, anybody know if anyone has been successful yet

This even takes longer than my 5k

Fair enough the traffic is slowing it down, but there should be a button there, and it's just not in the pages' code.

I can't even get onto the site now

I'm thinking the button is hidden in a . or something at this stage. Keep getting the 'Enter this Event Online' & €30 and nothing.

Foxx92

got in via this http://www.runireland.com/forms/galway-5km-series-2012 but not able to upload it on a number of attempts

Bugsy2000

I think I'll post in my entry:P

No its not even in the sourse code on the page.
At a guess whoever is supposed to update it is trying to remote into the site and cant get in either

Foxx92

WOOOO ENTERED!!!

got the form, filled it in , but page wouldnt load
