If its a well run race and the money is going to a club to help improve their facilities, I would happily pay it

Where did you see this? its only 200 allow including players, line staff etc

Read an article, maybe I picked it up wrong and it's that the GAA were calling for 500 to be permitted, apologies if so

Yeah GAA was asking for 500 to be allowed at big matches in big stadiums, ie Croke Park etc

Dublin graded full

TFBubendorfer

The Spartans Way Marathon Festival had to be postponed due to the new Govt restrictions

Just the way it is at the moment

The point is fairly clear - €25 for a 5k is a rip off.

If it was 10 mile for 25 euro would it be a rip off too?

Charlestown, Mayo 10km September 19th

EC1000

Kilbeggan 10 mile cancelled. Starts and finishes in Westmeath but half the route is in Offaly so no choice but to cancel.

Rules state you can transit through the county but shouldn’t stop. You’d be fine once you don’t bonk and have to stop

I thought they were pushing the rules around 200 max at event with 2 waves as still same event no matter what they say.

Homesick Alien

Wexford Half cancelled now too! Argh! It's all trending in one direction unfortunately

April 2021 lads, chalk it down.

Both water stations 5km and 10km were in Offaly
A large volume of entries were from Offaly.
Transiting through a county means via transport, not running , especially not organizing 400 people to do it...

It's a pity, I was sign up and looking forward to it.

There's a marathon going ahead in Enniscrone Co Sligo October 4th...

Van.Bosch

Amsterdam marathon still going ahead - seems ambitious to me but fingers crossed, I think Europe needs a large enough marathon to go ahead as a test case almost.

Announcement to be made on it this day next week, from living in The Netherlands not a hope it takes place.

The days of a big city marathon weekend with all it entails seems to be getting further out of reach the longer time goes by, very hard to accept that it will unfortunately be the last in the queue for clearance.

The excitement of the packed expo with family present means huge numbers. A thing of the past now.

The gathering in pens with thousands at the start line chatting to randomers you've never met while passing the hour or so before the start.

The massive crowds often a few deep in places and kids passing out sweets/drinks.

The mass of broken but overjoyed bodies at the finish and the mosh through families leaving the finish area to carry on our way and bask in the moment.


It's the most depressing part of the situation for me along with missing packed houses on a summers day at the inter county hurling championships.
To be among that many people for a sporting event you are taking part in is magic. Nothing can replace it.

Is the Staff Relay Series still going ahead in September? Nothing cancelled yet...

Snodge

Did anyone hear/ does anybody know any more info on this or if its going ahead?

Yep, no overnight solutions here even with a vaccine it will take some time for all non-essential activities to return. I've been positive up to now but reading some leaks that the government are going to reduce numbers that can meet outside back to 15 this morning has me pissed off- that would see the end of any hope of races and possibly club training if it's true......f**king poxy virus.

That would be surprising: I have not seen any evidence that recent rises are due to gatherings outdoor.

But evidence doesn't seem to bother the government. No evidence on restaurants spreading it but they shut them all down in a few counties

Ratoath half cancelled.

I'm sure a lot more will be after todays news.

racersedge

Add The Medic Half & 10K in Monasterevin to the cancelled list.

Unthought Known

Not sure I get it. Outdoor gathering back down from 200 to 15, but 15 v 15 GAA matches are ok?
