Road races longer than the half and shorter than full?

Supercell · 12-01-2019 1:32pm #1

I'm looking to run some races this year longer than the half marathon in preparation for DCM.

So far have only found the Sheelin 16 mile run in April (from previous years, doesn't seem to be any entry up for it this year yet) and the Irish three quarter one in October.

Does anyone know of any others, including N Ireland if there are any up there?

There’s this one also.

There’s the Cork to Cobh 15 mile at the end of September if that’s any help? A lot of people run it as a long run in preparation for DCM.

There’s this one in Westport also, no date for this year’s event though but seems an interesting concept.

Similar idea but a bit tougher. This one seems to imply that times are reset after each 3.8km lap.

Advance planning is great and all... but is it not a bit early to be thinking about this kind of thing? So much more to be done first!

Just looking for a change really, I'm running half or longer most weekends now and have done a bunch of half distance races in the last couple of years so looking for a new longer distance in a race as preparation and to enjoy I suppose..

Road races longer than the half and shorter than full?
