Where were all the "designer runners" last night afraid of the northside or afraid to run two races back to back.
didnt even know it was on!!
@anonymous - most cork runners would have run in tues marina Run - very bad timing having this race on the following day-
What is a "designer runner"?
Same as comment no2. the first i heard about it was when i saw the results. was it even advertised?
Nobody knew about this it seems, as an ex Mon guy I would have loved to support but it would have been good to know about it - please advertise next year , did Running in Cork website know about it?
Must say also the timing is not great the night after the BHAA race

Yeah, same as above. Would have run it if I had known about it AND if it was not immediately after the marina race.
Timing was off- and there was no real advertising done. Next year will be different- ;-]...
Dreadful night to have a race. Just right around first Ballycotton, Cork County Championships, John Buckley 5k and cork marathon. Lots of people will do three races in a week. Is that hard enough for the "designer poster".
Their was a previous race out of St Vincents GAA which used to get up to 200 people. That race hasn't been on for a few years.
I have no doubt there were plenty of designer runners on show up in Gurranabraher last night.
I ran this one last year and it was on in August I believe...I was shocked when i found out it was on Wed night. I never heard anything about it. As a Mon past pupil I would have also supported it...
Make a better effort next year lads, theres not many (if any) road races in the northside which is a shame so this is the one and only to do a bit of justice...
