How come the double is listed as starting at 9am on the registration page? Is that not a bit late in the morning to be starting that race at?

Its is incorrect on the registration Site. Should be rectified today as 7:00 AM start. All the rest are correct/

Unfortunately won't make it this year but on the positive side will be on a nice holiday instead Would definitely recommend this to anyone sitting on the fence, very nice friendly event.

Cant believe in a months time there will be some lunatics running around in a circle in Sixmilebridge.

Time to get off the fence and join us there.

Really enjoyed yesterdays run. Blog post to follow this evening but I just wanted to say well done to all the organisers and marshalls. It was a truly unique experience

innuendo141

Loved my first back to back and cant believe my times- definitely a permanent fixture for my calendar and it only down the road from me.

Seriously tough conditions (that river on the Saturday!) but the crowd and atmosphere amongst the runners was second to none. Well done everyone.

Hope no one is feeling as battered as me today!

On behalf of the organising committee and BMOH I would like to thank all the participants for another memorable race in Sixmilebridge.

Provisional Results are available here

Love this event, absolutely love it.

It mightn't have been shorts and sandals conditions out there, but what the weather left us down on, the enthusiasm of everyone on the course made up for.

With starting so early at 7 and havign the course to ourselves for a good while, it was great to see all the new faces when each other event started off, to stave off the brain drain of 7 and a half hours of running.

Hats off to Ger and the organising committee yet again.

Bad enough we have to put up with seeing you 52 times a year down in Sixmilebridge, now we have to put up with bad puns
