Connemarathon 2008......6th April
Good luck to everyone travelling up to Galway this weekend for this event. For anyone who is not aware of it, it is basically 3 races rolled into one.
First off are the runners doing the Ultra-Marathon, a distance of 39.3 miles!! They start off first and have to run 13.1 miles before they join up with those who are starting the Marathon (26.2 miles).
13.1 miles later, they join up with the several thousand runners who will be doing the Half Marathon. All said and done, a huge event.
