Missed it last year as too soon after New York and did my hamstring.

Will hope to do it this year.

As PaulieC said, there was a Walk the Line and there was also the Dublin Mountain High (Previously named the Dublin Mountain Plod) in July.

Signed up yesterday for the long one. Did the shorter route last year and loved everything about it. I highly recommend it!

Shane O' Malley

All signed up for the long course.

Was my comeback event after injury last year and loved it. Stunning value and great cause.

summit2summit

Today is the last day of the early bird €25 rate

RTL registration will close at midnight on the 26th of November. This year’s event will see the introduction of a cap on runners so get signed up early to avoid disappointment. www.runtheline.ie/register

Thanks

Only 4 weeks until #RTL14!

PaulieC

Gareth, is there a way to verify registration? I registered in July, but didn't get confirmation and then I got a mail last week telling me to register.

summit2summit

Do you want to drop us a quick mail at info@runtheline.ie Pailie C and we will confirm asap, thanks

Hi,
I'm looking for a garmin link of the short course for a pal if someone had a link from last year.
Cheers,
Mick

I have one so will post it tomorrow when I have my laptop with me.
Edit, Actually, try this, I have it imported to Strava

Just entered this, has anyone a garmin link to the long course?

inigo

I run parts of the longer course this morning, in my weekly long run, on the Dublin Mountains Way between Jonnie Fox's and Cruagh Woods. I was surprised to see so little water on the paths and fire roads. I thought I'd find a lot more after this week's rains. I didn't even bother taking any pictures.

I couldn't find some of the paths on which the race will take place. I know my map reading skills are almost non-existant (I've already sent Santa my letter for a compass and book to learn to navigate). Can someone confirm the race course will be clearly marked, please?

Fully marked with plenty of marshalls at key junctions.

Inigo, it sounds like you missed out on the wet parts. The first couple of miles are wet and sloppy. Also, from memory, the bit at the far side of Cruagh is wet (was pretty much running down a stream). You'll definitely needs trail shoes.

Thanks for that, PC! I know I missed parts, the hidden and probably wet ones. I remember the short course from last year, definitely trail shoes alright. Should be fun... and tough!

jb-ski

The 'new' section on Tibradden on MTB trail below DMW (based on route map for this year, slight change to 2013) is narrow & very wet in places.
It's a tough but really enjoyable section to run.

Keep something in the tank for the long slow climb up Cruagh which is mostly dry (today).

IMO Trail shoes are essential, it'd be very difficult in road shoes.

They've done a lot of work and filled in most the stream section after the sleepers up in Cruagh wood. Much easier surface until near the end for about 200 meters.

Boo to whoever did that. That was one of the good sections

Ah still plenty of challenging places for the newly converted....

We are down to our last 30 spaces. We expect the event to be full in the next 24 hours. We will have a waitlist for those that miss out. Thanks

summit2summit

RTL is now SOLD OUT. Please send a mail to info@runtheline.ie with the word WAITLIST in the subject along with your details to be added to the event wait list. Thanks

Will water be given in cups or bottles? (And I don't mean bucketloads of rain...)

We will have water in cups at each aid station. Where supplies last, we will also have blue poweraid too

It's one of the best stretches of trail I have ever ran on in the Dublin Mountain's!

Nectar of the gods. Worth the asking price alone.

I'd be very interested in a 10am start also, particularly if there are cut off times along the way??

Yeap, there is a 10am start for the long course only. Pls try and arrive at 9 to register if taking 10 start, thanks

Are there cut off times for the longer course?
