This will give you a good idea of the standards there.John Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156613639160765654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-54992841946447932322015-10-03T20:05:31.545+01:002015-10-03T20:05:31.545+01:00Is it open to runners who would not be elite runne...Is it open to runners who would not be elite runners but would like to set a goal and do a 10 miler. I did the john buckley 10 miler recently and finished it. while i would be a slower runner I would like to try this one and set it as a goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-6048368009853532902015-10-02T14:15:44.530+01:002015-10-02T14:15:44.530+01:00Regarding the start and gun / chip times....As far...Regarding the start and gun / chip times....As far as I know, it will be gun timed from the start. The road is very wide which allows for a lot of people to get off fast although some will lose some time.<br /><br />If they had timing mats at the start and it was much narrower, the problem is that there would be a substantial delay in the slower people getting across the mat.

One of them doesn't include individual prize winners so that gives people down the field a good chance as other club members that place either overall or in an age category are discounted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-62131818285157883752015-10-01T17:30:04.444+01:002015-10-01T17:30:04.444+01:00I'd like to see all team events judged on more...I'd like to see all team events judged on more than just the top 3 runners for your club. There are plenty of us whose efforts never get included simply because we're not in the top 3. Still though, a welcome addition to this race.<br /><br />Just waiting now for a smarty pants to reply and say that I should try harder to get into the top 3 in my club.....!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-11947573971065781012015-10-01T13:17:01.167+01:002015-10-01T13:17:01.167+01:00I wonder are they providing chip times this year. ...I wonder are they providing chip times this year. It says chip timing but last year they only published the gun time don't think they had any mats at the start. Granted chip timing gets the results out quicker but would be nice if you could see your gun time took me a few minutes last year to get over the start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
