    Are you talking about the DCM Race Series? (Thread is about the Athletics Ire Race Series)

    If so - Video and description on FB

    Looks like an 'interesting' route :rolleyes:

    I've an entry for it - but am currently looking to see if there's anything else around (Edenderry 10m on same day)

    Are they not the same thing?

    Facebook link doesn’t do anything unfortunately.

    It’s best avoided in other words?

    DCM race series and Athletics Ireland series are separate.

    That link is to a video of the route - might not play on your phone. Here’s a link to the race page with route map: http://kbcdublinmarathon.ie/race/south-dublin-10k/

    I’ll be doing it - I dont think the route looks bad. Corkagh is a nice park, and it will be interesting to run through Clondalkin Village. The canal section will hopefully not have a headwind!

    So this race was this morning, Surprised at the low number for finishers.
    Anyone there to give an opinion on the route? looks a nice variation from the norm keeping to the lower side of the avenue mostly.

    Was there a big fallout between Donore and the Greallys over this or did they sit down and agree to seperate it out, seems to be kept fairly well apart on the calendar anyway.

    Was a tough enough route, think I prefer the Frank Duffy course, hopefully be alot less humid come August too

    I liked the route. Once got down to the magazine fort it was really tough but marathon training ramping up do no bad thing.

    1hr 21m was very happy with that

    Frank Duffy in Swords last year was flat and I did that in 1hr 19m

    I really enjoyed that 10 mile route.

    I think that whole series of races is prefect. Handy for me admittedly but organisation, scale, value and logistics are excellent.

    First time running in the park and must say I really enjoyed each of the runs especially the 10 mile course. Nice and easy for the first 3 miles allowed me build up a nice rhythm for the rest of the course. First time running this distance too.
