Curious to see if anyone here has done it & there thoughts on the race. I done Dun Laoghaire this year and want to do another in 2019 and liked the look of this race. Would love to know peoples opinions and what its likes etc. Thanks

its a good race rolling bike course,a good bit more low key than Dun L this year. just like to point out there is some very good halfs in ireland. unless its the brand you want.

I was half tempted by this race as early season options were limited in past. Cutra is an option but having done it a few times wanted some different.

Bantry Hardman half looks very interesting. 25th May so ideal for an early season tester.

Thanks Peter, I've checked out some in Ireland but with timing etc of other races i;ve got planned its the perfect weekend almost to fit in a middle distance race! The brand has a part to play in it too off course but mainly the timing of this one!

ok for what you are looking for .

I would then recommend 70.3 kraichgau ( me thinks the best 70.3 branded race) 2nd june

rapperswill is also solid and should be the 10th of june.

toursnman in tours 16th june not branded but at least as good as any m dot brand for a good bit less money.

i think they sold all places in 48 hours but you might be lucky to get one.
if you drive than i guess stafford is best for what you want, but if you want a good race i think those 3 races are above staff in what you might be looking for in a race.

my 2 cents

Decided to signup to staffordshire today. If anyone has any more tips on the course, would be appreciated
