    Last year they had split time at 1/2 ways also. Last years top is nice and very similar. However I find that because of all the writing/logo on it then its not a breathable as it should be. Don't wear it much as a result but that is just my option.

    1) As for the designs......I guess that there will always be a trade off between the amount of writing/logo and how breathable it is. I know previous version of the Dublin Marathon tops had a lot of logos on them but they are still fine to run in.

    2) Last year, they had ~1200 entries. If it's like most races then ~35 are women so in reality, the first 500 means that all women taking part will get this type of top. In most races, a generic type of top is given out and the 'small' for men is often too big for a lot of women. By having a dedicated running top for women, this should help keep everyone happy.
