Ish- so you are not going to run a distance PB
Assuming its the same 5k route as the parkrun course - see link. 60m over 5k aprox.

It is a lovely spot for running though.

Hoping to announce soon a full marathon on the road and a half marathon on the same route in late October near Lisburn Co Down.

Will keep you posted but its being considered by the relevant authorities for traffic etc etc.

Full details will be listed on the Championchip Ireland web site and FB page in due course.

Any chance of some events in the Derry/Fermanagh/Omagh direction or is the demand there?

Its been tough just getting enough runners near the population centres to enter to make it feasible to run events so far. I'm not getting anywhere near the numbers I thought would have done the runs. It was my thought that with nothing else happening runners would be there in droves but alas not.

I expect it would be worse if I went to the country areas.

Beware! A mountain runner's hilly-ish course is a road runner's hills from hell.

Is the Longford Royal Canal marathon still going ahead on October 31st? Could be a option for some

Cona

Any ideas if the Clonakilty Marathon is going ahead in December?

I hope it will but I seen on their Facebook page that 850 entries were sold across the different race distances so I'll be highly surprised if it does.

Championchip Ireland got approval today from PSNI for a route around the roads near the Down Royal racecourse to hold a full marathon, half marathon and 10km on Oct 24th.

The 10k would be one lap, half marathon would be a small loop and then 2 laps and the marathon 2 small loops and 4 laps. Uses part of the Lisburn Half Marathon course.

The venue is available, the PSNI are in agreement, just need to sort out traffic management.

Its the same weekend as the virtual Dublin Marathon, Half and 10k so working on a collaboration with them.

Interested in this as well. Would do the half. I guess they can't say until new restrictions announced.

Not just yet but will be in the next week or so. I will post a link here when its available.

ChampionChip

Our multi terrain marathon and half marathon at Shanes Castle near Lough Neagh on Sept 26th is still open to entries until Monday 21st. If you enter by Monday night at midnight you're guaranteed a medal and t shirt. Its mostly concrete and tarmac but with a bit of gravel. Water station at 4 miles, 7 miles, 17 miles and 20 miles.

There is no upper limit on numbers taking part in NI but we start in waves over the timing mats to enforce social distancing. Its 2 laps for the marathon and 1 for the half marathon.

Road marathon and half and 10k still being sorted for Oct 24th but PSNI have said yes and traffic management is all ok so will launch next week once we deal with Mo Farah at the weekend.

Did the 1st night of this last night, would recommend the subsequent editions. Challenging course but well organised and beautiful surroundings.

Thanks for that. Whereabouts will the end of Oct one be? Sorry if it was answered already in the thread.

Best of luck sorting out that Farrah lad!!

Its based at the Down Royal Racecourse near Lisburn so dead handy to the A1 from the border.

Starts and finishes in the grounds of the race course and incorporates the race course roads in the 4 laps of the route. Each lap is just over 10k each.

Sounds great! Thanks for that - appreciate it!

ChampionChip

The Down Royal Marathon on Oct 24th will have a full measured marathon, half and 10k.

It will run in association with the virtual Dublin event on that weekend meaning if you enter any of the 3 virtual Dublin runs you can enter the Down Royal at a reduced rate and get an official time and get your medal and beanie handed over on the day.

Save the date in your diary and I will post again when the entries open.

I know every country is different, but a 5 mile race took place here yesterday in Enschede(close to German border) with nearly 2,000 runners completing it. Corona cases are on the rise here again also.

Wasn't expecting anything different but :(

If you are looking at options, it's not a marathon but half of something might be better than nothing.

Hi all

Has anybody who registered for the Coolock 10k in Aug managed to get their money back? I have heard it is on in October but that does not suit me.

I have tried the gym group associated with it but they sent me to Myrunresults, who are not responding my query. I also got no email about possible change of date, etc. Wondering if this was a bit of a scam. Quite disappointing.

Thanks

They are waiting on what race organisers decide. If the race is organised, they will only offer partial discount as they have already purchased gear and merchandise etc. It will probably go virtual. 33 euro for a virtual race an absolute scam in that case.

€33 for a 10km is a scan also.

No chance in hell that is taken place in October or any race in Dublin.

Any info on whether Run the Line on mid-Nov will happen this year? I'd hoped it might but that hope is fading

I'm currently on week 13 of a marathon training plan which targets that weekend although the main reason for starting that was my running had become fairly aimless over the lockdown period.

To be fair, that is a pretty socially distant race! When I did it, I think I literally didn't see anyone else for the second half other than marshalls.

Sadly Run The Line has gone the same way as every other event

It is clear to us now that hosting a large scale event in Glencullen Adventure Park (GAP) not only goes against the most recent government advice, but also puts members of the public, our supporters and volunteers at increased risk. This is something we simply cannot do.

Instead, we intend to host RTL as a 'virtual' race. Everyone can compete from their own locality, and run the race along city streets, country lanes, mountain tracks, seafronts, or any other myriad places where we all go to clear our minds, fill our lungs, and push our bodies to the limit. Participants in our virtual race will receive a T-shirt once they have sent their time for the race. Remember, the distance can be split up over a number of runs!
