    How is everyone fixed?

    For the craic, the long term forecast for Dublin and Wicklow is for decent weather, no rain during the event, moderate wind. Looks to be dry from Monday evening onwards which might good for river crossings easier.

    Looking forward to it now, fingers crossed for the weather on the night. Ran the Clonakilty marathon in Dec so should a bit better prepared this year.

    Best of luck to everyone for next Sat!

    Superb event.

    Really good interview on radio one earlier. Questions beyond the "you must be mad."

    Love the course. It's full on for the whole race.

    ok, was thinking of doing this next year until I saw this ^,are we talking proper rivers or does the flow depend on the recent weather?

    99% of the time you can simply hop onto a stone or two and you're across the two rivers in question.

    Hopefully that's not the end of it as an organised event as we were told at the start :(
