I just contacted the timing company - there is a report error link on the bottom of each result page. They had it changed within a couple of hours. The same company was used for the Great Railway Run and I had to contact them after that as well about the same issue.<br /><br />Re: Rescheduling the races.

At this stage I'm looking marathons elsewhere for the Spring and Dublin in October. I won't be doing the Cork Half again, the timing of the full doesn't suit so I'll probably stick to the relay from now on.
