Course, venue and weather will be the same as last year.

Race is slightly later in January this time so you have more time to get over the Christmas!!!

Have a look and give it a like to keep up to date

This is the fourth running of the race and is over the same course as previous years.

The race will be chip timed and there will be a race memento, goodie bag and of course plenty of food and drink afterwards to replenish those muscles.

Fairly. Bit of a drag up the N11 early on and a couple of bumps here and there iirc. I'll see if I have Garmin data.

Edit 2: My hr monitor obviously wasn't working for the first couple of kms; it's not that I was relaxed in the first quarter.

Looking forward to this. It was one of my most enjoyable races last year.

Just a few points for the race on Sunday:

1) In the last few days the road surface on a few stretches has deteriorated (literally in the last few days). It will be signed on the day. Be mindful of it.

2) We have a water station near the half way point. If you take a drink please use the containers provided for disposal if possible.

Oryx

Thanks Podge. As usual a flawless race. And lids on cups at the water station! I didnt inhale a drop

dintbo

Agreed it was a great race today well done. The markings on the road worked really well helping to avoid the potholes. The lids on the cups wee very good. I can't believe he's calling it the nippy sippy though. I presume it's meant to be nippy as in fast but it really sounds like slang for breast feeding.
