Entry details for the 2008 Cork City Marathon & Relay are announced...

The entry details for the 2008 Cork City Marathon & Relay have just gone up on their website. The costs are the same as they were for the 2007 event except that this time, they will have a staggered entry system whereby you pay more if you leave it too late.

So, some details...

2008 Marathon...If you enter before the 31st of March, the entry fee is €50, which is the same as it was in 2007. After that, you will have to pay extra. Enter between the 1st of April and the 28th of April and you will have to pay €60. Enter between the 29th of April and the 9th of May and it will cost you €70.

Relay Event...As with the 2007 event, there will be 5 stages and a relay team can be made up of 2 to 5 members. It will cost €80 to enter a relay team before the 31st of March. Entries between the 1st of April and the 28th of April will cost €90 and entries between the 29th of April and the 9th of May will cost €100.

The Cork Marathon and Relay takes place on Monday, the 2nd of June 2008. They have yet to confirm that the course will be the same as it was in 2007 but I'd be suprised if it changed much. If you are really eager ;o) , you can enter online now at this LINK. Note that all online entries cost 10% extra.

Seeing as how this event is still over 6 months away, there is still plenty of time. I'd guess that a lot people will want to do the Ballycotton 10 first at the start of March and then make up their mind if they are going to do it.
