To be honest, running around hall would drive me bananas! But I'd happily make a donation to East Cork Rapid Response, is that possible?
ReplyDeleterstfThat is going to involve running on synthetic floors with lots of turn and twists. For anyone to run a marathon like that it's going to put a lot of stress on the skin of the foot, ankles etc. with a risk of sprained ankles etc. It sounds to me like a not very good idea. Would I suggest that someone try doing a quarter marathon on it first, and report back??
ReplyDeleteThe option is there if you want to enter or not,there is a risk with almost anything and everything you do with regards to running,I'm in and think its a great idea,very Unique event and good cause will benefit.roll on 22nd Feb.
ReplyDeleteJohn Dunphy.
Well said John, I am part of the organising team and we are all experienced marathon runners. This is being done for a very worthy cause and god forbid any of us or our families ever need their services. It is being organised as a fun event and we hope the cork running community will support us.
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks,
Is a map of the course available?
ReplyDeleteSeize the moment and think of the great cause you are supporting. Sounds like a great idea and people here in my work place are really looking forward to it, 4 in our company have signed up so far. See you there john!!!!
ReplyDeleteFolks,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great a idea, so just go for it! However, I'd suggest not going for a marathon PB as corners etc should be negotiated carefully to avoid injury. The aim should be simply to finish & of course enjoy.
Mad idea but brilliant. Agree with others that it is not a PB thing but just a different challenge. The cause is good and hopefully we will never need it but nice to know its there and support it.
ReplyDeleteWell done to those who are trying to make a difference in their Community.
Fantastic, How can I enter?
ReplyDeleteIs there a my charity page for this event that donations can be made through?
ReplyDeleteHI i've entered and had 1 SMS looking forward to seeing me there is there anyway of getting some more infomation on the run?
ReplyDeleteIs it to late to enter
