i ran this year last and it is a great race, spread of quality in the field is fantastic with plenty of competition right the way through. The course encourages a fast start and can be a war of attrition in the second half. Feed etc after in the GAA club is great.

Thanks Asminov for your kind words, yes the 1st mile is definitely super fast and we always feel we go the extra mile with the food afterwards. I should know, when people are watching you pushing 2 trolleys packed to the top with food in a supermarket.
Hope to see you all in Tinryland.:D

Yeah great race indeed. Ive done this race for the past 3 years. Great spread of food afterwards and tinryland is a lovely village with a good atmosphere around the evening of the race.
Unfortuately won't be there this year as Frank Duffy is on the same day.
But all the best with the race. Hope you get the good weather that seems to be there every year for this race.
