Does this race sell out early or can we wait until 2013 to register?

The Rook · 02-10-2012 8:30am

A very timely thread, I was trying to register for the race this morning and it was telling me that registration was full.

I've only copped it now that I was trying to register for the 2012 race!!!

Cracking race this. Will be registering in a minute!

RubyK · 02-10-2012 9:01am

Looking forward to this! Always a good one to race.

Entry is limited and I think was full just before Christmas last year, so best to get in early.

Fantastic race, did it in January of this year, extremely well organised, pretty flat course, well worth signing up imo, I'll be aiming for a pb in January.

RacoonQueen · 02-10-2012 10:22am

From the website:

There will be prizes for the first 3 Men's Teams and the first Ladies Team.

Edit: Lots of discrimination in the prizes there against wimmen :eek: Top 10 men get prizes but only top 6 women, 5th and 6th men get more prize money than 5th and 6th women. Shocking. :eek:

Wait a minute. There are additional prized for F35 (1st and 2nd), while there is no M35, so the discrimination is really against old men. Of course if you are F65 you're out of luck, while M65 will net you €50). My guess is they just look at the age and finishing profile from previous races and just base their prize structure on representative statistics (or maybe it's designed so John Treacy is in with a shot of winning the M55 prize

).

The last race I competed in had prizes for the first male and female, first m40/f40, and that was it. So I wouldn't be too vocal about complaining about this structure!

I wouldn't say there's a major panic to register for this race just yet as I think they're allowing 1750 entries, just as well to get those entries in quickly all the same.

tunguska · 02-10-2012 6:06pm

Same day as Raheny 5mile I think?

those two races do seem to fall on the same day come to think of it, pity that...

rom · 02-10-2012 9:37pm

Did this one last year. This and Ballycotton do become full and are the only two that I will sign up to long in advance. Won't do Mallow this year

TJC · 02-10-2012 9:42pm

Brilliant Race this year... will run it again next year hopefully..
Fills up bout 2/3 weeks beforehand

Brianderunner · 03-10-2012 11:22am

Great race, i've done it 3 times. Worth the trip from London in Jan for it. The spread last year was heavenly.

Not for me this coming year but hope to return in 2014.

RacoonQueen · 03-10-2012 11:39am

Yeah falls the same day as Raheny 5 every year which is a shame since theres a lack of quality 5 and 10 mile races around

charkee · 04-10-2012 12:06pm

top race,fast as they come!

scout33 · 20-11-2012 9:50pm

Ok story as of tonight almost half full-no panic just yet-but i won't be leaving it too late to enter as it will defently be full by end of December for sure.

Andalucia · 20-11-2012 11:31pm

is the route staying the same? I note the pt to pt is on that day also, so there will be no problems with traffic?

Also, is there any pacers in the race?

Route the same

Pt to pt on 20th

Pacers yes

rom · 21-11-2012 9:37am

This race was organised close to flawless last year. The only negative was there was an oil spill about half way but that happened on the morning of the race by some farmer.

scriba · 21-11-2012 10:09pm

Signed up at the start of this month, and really looking forward to my first go at it.

NoGutsNoGlory · 21-11-2012 10:39pm

this is a great race. it will sell out early. (like 2012) there will be a flood of entries after the Waterford half marathon..
only one hill on the route . a real PB route..

Hope not last year the course was checked at 12.45 and at1 it had happened no one saw anything !!!

Andalucia · 23-11-2012 9:13pm

what pacer options will be available?

scout33 · 23-11-2012 9:49pm

The organisers are looking at pacers at the moment-probably going with same as last year.70-75-80-85 and 90.

I rem pacing mates last year. With no mats at the start pacing 90 min would be a disaster. It might take u a min to cross Thr start.

scout33 · 30-11-2012 12:03am

Sur the start line is 40 feet wide it couldn't possibly take you a minute to cross the start line at this race.

Took us 15 seconds to pass line and we were in front of Thr 75s......for a pacers point of view no mat at The start is a disaster as they might try and make the time lost straight away hence making them a negative rather than a positive. We were with a girl at 5 miles who said the 75 lads did mile 1 in over 8 min(8.10 I think). 40 sec down after the fast 1st mile is a lot.

was talking to some of the pacers after this race & none of them were complaining & they all came in on time.

rom · 30-11-2012 11:34pm

It is better that they start slow than too fast.

Just wondering if those of you who entered via post & cheque - has your cheque been cashed? I sent off mine on 27/11, but it hasn't yet gone through my account. I thought it would have by now. Hope it didn't get lost in the post, I'd be v disappointed not to get to run this one.

The race pack arrived today. Checking bus time tables, weather forecasts etc etc.

To follow pacers or not to follow pacers, that is the question...

I take it that there is pacers so? wasnt aware that this was the case. Was looking on the website but couldnt see any mention of them.
It would certainly help the cause...

Yes. It was mentioned on the facebook page. Pacers for 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 and 90 min marks. Two pacers for each time target and all rigged out in yellow bibs and balloons.

Fazz · 23-01-2013 11:23pm

I'm in for this as well - didn't get any race pack just yet but hopefully tomorrow so.

Pacers sound good, hope its not too early in the season to aim for 60 so!

Course sounds good, little rolling and flat so a nice one for first 10 miler I hope.
