Went to Ballinhassig this glorious morning; lovely 4 mile run though thank gawd, that final hill wasn't much longer!! Gorgeous day for it - good turnout too, I thought.

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh!

Agree with Eileen. The weather was perfect for it. That really is an 'interesting' hill at mile 3. Tough, but the donwhill 500 yards to the finish is a godsend after it. Well done to the organisers. And well organised food afterwards in the hall was appreciated.

great day and tough race,beautiful day and also glad of downhill finish. Strange start though; no announcement/whistle etc beforehand. some people still standing around talking and caught off guard as didn't know it started, only people in the front line were aware?...
