The weather forecast for Sunday is looking reasonable at the moment. The only danger is that there may be a heavy frost on Saturday night but hopefully by noon, this will have cleared.
Saturday night: Scattered wintry showers will die out and the fresh and gusty southwesterly winds will veer northwesterly and ease. As skies clear and winds ease it will turn very cold and frosty with air temperatures below zero away from Atlantic coasts and as low as -4 or -5 degrees in many places with a severe ground frost and icy patches likely Saturday night and Sunday morning. Sunday: A cold, bright day with sunny spells and dry apart from isolated wintry showers. Highest temperatures only 2 to 6 degrees generally
If it gets to 5 deg C then that should clear any frost. There is a light West North-Westerly wind so hopefully freezing fog won't be an issue. For the race, we will be running into this light for roughly 2.5 miles (3.2 to 5.7 miles). It will be behind the runners for most of the last few miles.
Just heard that Mallow 10 has been postponed/cancelled (12:10pm Sat 8-1-11)
