Strongly considering running this race.
Anybody have any experience of it?
Good/bad opinions?

Do you have a link to the race anywhere, can't seem to find anything about it online?

It's a new race on the calendar.

Always good to see a new race , especially a 10 miler.
Fingers crossed for a flat elevation profile !!

Edit..just found this link to registration for it

http://precisiontiming.primo-solutions.co.uk/ps/event/ClonakiltyAC4Mileand10MileRun2014

Not on facebook myself so maybe there's additional info on the race such as the course info?

Not too many boardsies doin this I guess?
Fits nicely into my training plan for the CorkCity1/2M, along with
The Castle Island 10mile on the 11th May.
I copied the route into mapmyrun from John Desmonds plan
so we can get an idea of the course elevation.
Looks like a 2.5mile pull to the 6 mile mark and then its all
downhill really. Looking forward to it now.
It would be great if the weather was like this weekends(fingers crossed).

I was planning on doing this @ MP but just found out I have to work that day now

yaboya1 · 14-04-2014 9:17am

I am running this. Looking forward to it.

Cona · 14-04-2014 9:34am

Probably will run this also. Looking forward to breaking 70 mins

mr.wiggle · 19-04-2014 10:09am

Hopefully the weathers going to hold now for Monday, what a week !
Have heard/ received nothing since I entered online, so I'm guessing
I have to pick up my no.& chip at registration. Should be there in plenty
of time so not panicking. Bringing the family down for a day out & looking forward to some
Guinness, mussels and black pudding after the event...just love Clonakilty.

That was extremely hilly, painfully windy and very, very difficult. The winner ran 1:01 and is normally a 56 minute man according to a guy I spoke to after the race.

Very well organised though. Marshals were excellent and the spread afterwards was huge. Great value for €15. Well done to all involved.

1:05:02. 8th place.
Just missed out on the sub 65.

mr.wiggle · 21-04-2014 1:39pm

Agree about the wind alright, was gusty in places. I was expecting the hill & wasn't going for a pb so it didn't effect me too much. Kept up a 7min/mile pace and came in at 69.30 so very happy with it. Stewards and grub were great. Coulda done with water between 5&6 miles as it was a very warm day once we turned inland. Will defo be back to do it justice next year!
Well done CRR for organising a great 10miler !
