    Unsurprisingly B I am a bit confused! :pac: What has been the end result of today's posts. Are we looking at a once off age grade race or a TT to decide on handicaps for a future virtual race which will be a handicap affair?

    I’ll organise what the masses want!! Maybe a 5k TT minus any calculators suits best with winners in each AG category and an all out male and female winner? That might be easier then to pick fairest teams for Luke’s Ekiden/Relay idea?

    No need to change anything IMO, Barry - the method you chose allows all of the above anyway, with an AG comparison just for fun.

    I was happy with the 5k, but if we want a 3k race first that is ok

    Please everyone, 5k. Just 5k. No point to point (downhill). That's it.

    Just get out there on the day and run a legal 5k as fast as you can and send your results to Barry, everyone. It's that simple!

    Excellent! I picked up a bit of a injury but hopefully I'll be able for a good blow out.

    Going by my recent efforts, I’ll be hard pushed to run 5k, let alone with any speed.

    I’ll throw myself in as tail runner in the women 50-54 cat.

    Count me in for the M45 category as well. It'll be nice to have something to aim at and spice up the training for the next few weeks.

    Expecting big things from people for this. With pro circuit gone, the regular planes of medical supplies in from China and the testers kept at bay with social distancing I’m expecting some Cathal Lombard style improvements in the coming weeks

    Ah f*ck it, I'm in. Haven't a hope of running anything decent (for me) in a solo environment but sure it's only a bit of fun :)

    Two questions...

    Does it have to be the 25th or would the 26th count too? (not to he overly complicating it so apologies).

    Does it have to be one 5k loop or could you, for example do 1.5x laps of a 2 mile loop?

    Throw me in. Need to keep some of those M35-39 lads honest. Not sure if I can manage the Saturday but throw me in anyway. Worst case I lose my entry fee.

    Just run fookin 5k to quote a much better race organiser from these parts than myself, be it looped, out and back or point to point, run 5k and by 5k i mean 3.10 miles or more!!. I don't want to hear oh i ran a course that has a lot of trees, or my Garmin was acting up on the day. Run 3.10 miles or more or your result ain't counting. I won't bend anymore rules, ye know whats expected so go train.
