Welcome to the Running in Cork blog, home of the Cork running community. This is the largest website in Cork & Munster for news on road races and general running news. Included are a current race calendar, race previews, photos, results as well as some local, national and international news items.
Race was a week ago tomorrow and still no published results. Its a shame..this was a really good race and well organised but the results coming out is painfully slow.
One would have to question the point of having the race if the organisers are not able to get the results out within a day or two. Yes, I know the BHAA is a voluntary organisation but surely results by, say the Friday after the race is achievable!!!!!
Presumably working out the team category winners is the hard part. Surely they could release the overall results first and the various category results at a later time. Didn't they do this split with results of the Novartis run ?
Take's a bit of the enjoyment out of it when you have to wait so long for the results. Other races have the results up on the night so it is possible.....
Can't believe all these negative comments about the results. It was a fantastic race, enjoyable evening and flawlessly organised like all the BHAA races. If they take a week or so to get out so what ?! It is run on a totally voluntary basis and I would question whether those of you complaining are involved in any voluntary work yourselves and if so how would you react if people criticized you for doing something for nothing. Surely you know your time from the race anyway. What's the big deal about waiting for results. Comments like "No excuses, its a shambles . . . ." are out of order. You paid €5 for a race, stewarding and a great feed after in a lovely location. If you don't like it then don't come to the races!!!
Give the BHAA,(a voluntary committe) time please. All their races, including the army navy are extremely well organised. The results will be out very soon no doubt & will be worth the wait.
"One would have to question the point of having the race if the organisers are not able to get the results out within a day or two", what nonsense. I could not care less if the results never appear. I know my time and the race was perfectly well organised. Whether I came 50'th or 150'th is totally irrelevant to me.
