Event has Half Marathon, Marathon, 50km and 100km distances on a 5km loop through Portumna forest. Entry fee is 40e.
Course Profile from June 2012 - http://connect.garmin.com/activity/189495781
Did the 50km last year and really enjoyed it, very well organized event and great value for money especially if you do the longer distances
Not putting my name in yet as not decided on the event, its either 50 or 100km for me though.

As much fun as Connemara was, my original plan to run the 100km has gone out the window as I have not made the improvements I had hoped for, so unless stuff changes I'm putting my name down for the 50km

The elevation profile from the linked GC data is quite jaggedy. I've heard the route is nice and favourable but think I remember there being a small hill somewhere? Anyone got any clearer advice about the profile? Is it PB territory?
Small little rise from the marina up to the turnaround point, its only about 100 meters long and wouldnt even be mentioned on any other course in the country. Mind you they do seem to add an extra 50 meters to it on every lap
Serioulsy though if there is a flatter course out there its on a track 0 -
Nice one, I'll be registering today then!Small little rise from the marina up to the turnaround point, its only about 100 meters long and wouldnt even be mentioned on any other course in the country. Mind you they do seem to add an extra 50 meters to it on every lap

Sure you seem to like them even more given you want to hang around for 100km!:eek:still lookin for the easyflat ones:p,, id call it pancake flat,so u shusd pb all things goin well
I would have liked to target a longer distance for this race but it's my last chance for BQ this year so alas it's the marathon for me!0 -

Planning on targeting 3:10 for the marathon and get that Boston and London Qualifier!
that's a good idea, i was going to enter the half as my long runs aren't long enough for the full but if i could put a few long runs in between now & 15th june, it might mean i could get the qualifying time, it would mean sacrificing a few 10km race though, decisions decisions

Mrs. b.harte is expecting and due on the 14th June, so I'll decide on the day (if I make it there) which event to do, but I entered the 100 just in case

Really not hoping for much when doing the 50km, be lucky if I i even get the same time as last year I'd say....since the Limerick Marathon I've not done longer then a 20mile run. I also seriously trashed my legs on the weekend of the 26th May doing the Cabot Trail Relay, they are still recovering from that!

16 miles is as far as I've gone since Limerick ..... it'll be grandReally not hoping for much when doing the 50km, be lucky if I i even get the same time as last year I'd say....since the Limerick Marathon I've not done longer then a 20mile run.

From the website:Hey ya can someone confirm if there will be energy gels at fuel stations or should i buy a belt?
There are two official refreshment stations on the course at about 2.5k and 5km marks. One at Start and finish and one after the Marina. Please note the refreshment are only available when passing them on your right hand side to avoid crossing the course in front of other athletes.
The official Refreshment/Handling Zones shall be marked clearly by signs “beginning” and “end” and will be approximately 400 m long.
Official refreshment tables will be provided with Water/mineral waters without gas, electrolyte beverages, bananas and other fruits, Cola, glucose/sugar, salt, biscuits etc...
At the end of every refreshment zone sponges will be available.
Tables will also be provided for ultra participants only for personal food and beverages, not for marathon participants.
Competitors can use their own personal drinks and food at all official Refreshments Stations provided.- All personal food and beverages must be placed in bags clearly marked with the competitor’s name and race number, and handed to designated race official at the refreshment table at the start line before the race begins.
- In the official Refreshment/Handling Zones the handlers and coaches may put the refreshments into the hands of the athletes.
- During the handover of drinks and food the handlers may accompany the athletes within the Refreshment/Handling Zone, but other competitors in no case may be obstructed.
- Team management can support athletes for any shoe and dress change.
- Any medical support is permitted e.g. treatment of smaller injuries, blisters, by massages etc.
- Transmission of information of any kind is also permitted.

Feel like a complete lightweight,signing up for the little half
You're only a lighweight if you don't try... The "little" half is demanding emough, and if you put a lot into it, you'll take a lot out of it..
I'm sorry, the impression I got from your post was fairly negative.. I may be wrong...
See you at the start line friend 0 -

yes you are wrong, it was said in jest, believe me i know exactly how demanding a half is, got run down after pushing myself hard in limerick half.
i would love to have a go at one of the longer distances but i "fear" the unknown. admire those that throw themselves into it. & portumna is geared towards the longer distance. next year hopefully.
best of luck in the half0 -
