Regeneron Great Limerick Run 2022

There used to be a bag drop area in one of the city centre primary schools, 'Limerick Project School' I think.

My entry is an old one, dating from 2018 and I opted for number delivery. I'm not sure about this year for new entries though. No Expo though I believe.

They used to have bag drop, pre-covid, but not sure about now, no mention on the website or facebook page that I can see from a quick search

Got my t-shirt the other day. Registered for this a few years ago so looking forward to finally get to complete my first half marathon!

Best place to have a comfort break when driving to on the way from m7?

I meant in Limerick when you arrive. Might need the bathroom

Are you travelling down the morning of and if so where do you plan on parking? There will be portaloos in the park at the start line but millions of other places depending where you are coming in.

Travelling down that morning. Usually come down night before but not this year. as impossible to get a place. I'd be down early enough. I was thinking might be a hotel somewhere on the road into Limerick from m7 as heading from Kildare. I'd even pay to park the car if I could use the toilets. Maldron maybe?

Parking shouldnt be much of an issue. I'll be driving in myself and will likely park on one of the side streets but if I was in your shoes id probably park in the Qpark on Henry St (which has a toilet) . As Toffeeboy also said, the train station has parking and is near the start. Also has toilets.

Plain black 🤮

At least the quality is decent.

The 6 miler is usually jam packed at the start. Don't be sitting back in the pack or you'll be passing buggies, walkers and dog walkers.

Enjoy the Ennis road 😁

I'd say Sunday morning could be tricky enough in the town for a comfortable comfort break. There is an applegreen service station just off the motorway in Birdhill about 15 minutes before you arrive in the city that might serve your purpose better than trying to find parking that suits both toilets and start line.

Also be careful of the new average speed cameras will be operational between nenagh and limerick on m7

I'd imagine the GLR have the pressure on to get that street habitable before next week. Closing off William St probably isn't an option. Maybe around by Arthurs quay as a fall back but not ideal.

Top isn't too bad, as others have said, decent quality a bit dark but I'll add it to the pile.

No Expo? Meh.. usually little more than a bib pick up but I do enjoy bumping into some old friends the day before at these things.

All in all it's shaping up pretty we'll all things considered.

Struggling a little with the taper. But will be hot to trot come showtime. Local here also if anyone needs a little support.

Just in town this morning. No way O Connell st is going to be finished or able to take a big crowd by next Sunday...

Does anyone know how the chip timing works?

I'm not really into races but ran in the 2012 GLR. if I remember correctly they put a chip in your shoe or am I misremembering that?

If so, do you get the chip where the race starts in Pery Square?

Oh cool thanks! I hadn't looked at that closely. I see it now.
