    So you still are unable to put 2+2 together regarding the overseas entries to the marathon. Ask Jim Aughney why don't you, I don't think he has anything to hide, plus it's why he's decided to stick with the Sunday.

    This new event will start in October in the UK which mean numbers will be slightly down on 2016 for Dublin this year.
    http://www.greatrun.org/birmingham-international-marathon



    Parkruns <snip> this time of year, the normal weekly figures for Ireland are between 4500 and 5000 year round which has peaked.
    <snip> rose that to 11000 two weeks back but it returned to normal immediately last weekend with 4800.

    Can name a number large established events in Dublin which had large drops from a peak 5 years ago in 2016.
    -Great Ireland Run
    -Irish runner 5 mile
    -Frank Duffy 10
    -Aware Christmas run
    -Terenure 5

    Terenure 5 sold out in 2016 and stopped accepting entries well before the day. Not sure where you are getting your info from?

    I know you don't mean it, or maybe even realise it but there's a fair whiff of snobbery off this thread.

    Kinda like those early Kings of Leon fans who resented the fact that 'their' band were playing to stadia full of bandwagoners.

    Maybe even the 70s.
