The race wasn't without it's problems though with the timing equipment giving up the ghost after around 60 finishers! The organisers have the order of the finishers though and have put a rough set of results together HERE.

If your time is missing then send an e-mail to Denis Sheehan at dasheehan@eircom.net and he will update the results.

    Thanks for attending the race. And sorry about the screw up with the finishing times. Our clock which has never left us down before gave up.

    No problem! I certainly didn't hear any complaints, about time or otherwise, afterwards. Lovely setting.

    Lovely to see such a big number of runners turn out in the Danny Byrne memorial race. Danny ran for C Team - Cancer Survivors in the 2009 Cork City Marathon Relay and sadly passed away just a few weeks before the 2010 event. May he rest in peace.

    A wonderful race in memory of a great man and runner.So very well organised but such a pity to see so many (I counted at least fifty) people wearing headphones.
