Does anyone have a profile/elevation of the 1/2 marathon course in the park?
Web site just has the route map.

Hi,

Is it not a new route?

This might have some of it but it is from the 2011 HM:

Cheers, the route is a little different, but this has most of the highlights.
This profile looks a lot tamer than I remember...;)

Yeh, that's not it. It's the same route as two years ago, here's my Strava for it: https://www.strava.com/activities/722978742/overview

Looks like a decent enough uphill for the last mile, good to know, thanks.

Are transfers allowed? I have a friend that left it too late to sign up. If they are allowed does anyone have number they want to part with?

No idea. My buddy tried to enter today as far as I know ans he said it was sold out

colin32 · 04-09-2018 08:36PM

Sold out end of last week. Was going to sign up for it myself, as wasn't expecting it to sell out

Running Fool · 05-09-2018 03:11PM

Nuts, didn't expect it to sell out either.

frash · 05-09-2018 03:17PM

when do they post out the numbers?

thought I had it by now in previous years

G1raff3 · 05-09-2018 08:06PM

They will be posted 10 days in advance so should get them next week.

Thanks - it arrived yesterday

got mine too.

what's the craic with parking in the park on race day? Haven't raced in the park in near 10 years when these events were a lot smaller.

I used to go in ashtown gate and park on the grass on the left of north road. easy in/out.

is this still ok to do?

Last time I did one you still could.

2 years ago so guess it is still ok unless it was a mud bath and they probably not

if you get into the park at least 90mins ahead parking should be ok

Number swapping is against the rules of the race.

Embarrassed to say how long I had to look at the medal to realise the animal was not some type of whale...

CMod note:

If you swap / sell numbers and end up needing medical attention on the course then you are risking your own life and the job of the medical person who treats you. That is why it is not allowed.
TBH the mods here are being more than lenient in just deleting the posts. I may not be if I see it in future.

Please to continue to report any time you see it, thanks.

Steve · 16-09-2018 06:42PM

Yeah, I thought it was a whale as well ...
