Results of the Poll about the relay event in the Cork City Marathon...

Just before the Cork City Marathon, I posted an article by David O'Dwyer about the merits or otherwise of the Relay event in the Cork City Marathon and it provoked a bit bit of debate and discusion. For all that, it was still difficult to estimate what percentage of people thought the relay was a bad idea. Hence the poll...

The particular poll asked the question "For the Cork City Marathon, would you prefer if it was....

1) For Marathon Runners only...?

2) For Marathon and Relay runners...?

3) Don't care / Not interested...

309 people took part in the poll which is a very large sample. It looks as if 77% of people thought the Relay was a good idea with a much smaller 16% thinking it was a bad idea.

So while a small percentage disagree with the relay event, a resounding majority give it the thumbs up.
