    Hi greenb,

    We posted out numbers today so they should be with participants by latest Wednesday.
    I registered on Friday last, but after close of business, will my number still be posted out?

    Yep it will have been posted out to you. Bar some very late ones, I understand we included all who entered over the weekend too.

    Yes.

    There will be a van positioned close to the start area to take back
    light gear to the finish area. You must be able to identify your own kit however and Donore Harriers will not be held responsible for any missing items.

    Looking forward to this now. First run since the Great Ireland run. Looks a nice flat course too. Where would be the best place to park if coming from the Southside?

    Thanks to the sweet downhill near the end, I smashed my PB by 45 sec. New PB is 18:10. I cannot believe it.

    Very enjoyable race. I nearly forgot about my chip and only happened to see the bucket for them by accident - it was a pleasant surprise to not be assaulted by someone trying to get the chip off me.

    I was able to park my bike on the steps beside the finish line - very cool. Now I have to go back there as I think I dropped my Garmin HRM strap there.

    My 1st Jingle Bells and won't be my last. Well organised and perfect conditions.
    I ran a PB 19:27 and my 12 yr old ran her 1st 5k in 27:00. Both delighted!

    anyone come across any video footage of the race? Amazing what you would do just to see a one second clip of yourself running past a shaky camera!

    I found one video on youtube with a guy wearing a head cam the whole way round but i'm not in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHJFTnNZLKE

    Anyone got any others?

    Would I be a terrible parent if I forced my 11 year old son out on a freezing cold December morning to take a bit of video footage as I ran past in the race!!

    very enjoyable and well organised race. An unexpected PB for me 21.08, wasnt expecting that at all. Nice touch with the mug for all participants and a great day weatherwise for running.

    By any chance did anyone come across a Garmin 110 after the race?
    One of my clubmates lost one, possibly near the clubhouse....

    No truth to that. I saw the guy pass over the finish line myself and there was no skates. You can see some slight up and down movement in the vid but pretty steady otherwise.
