Great idea having pacers this year they were great.well done on another great race.
Great race but could have done with one water bottle station
The hills to me represent the cancer that is taking so many from us each year, this is the hard journey that we must take and our friends to stop this terrible thing. The second 5 miles of downhill and flat are the peace and dignity that many have been through as a result of the work that must continue. Some of the handwritten signs, perhaps by a school, were incredibly humbling and made me feel that we can win with races like this. Coming into the town centre to finish seemed more raucous and exciting than in previous years. Sonia is a legend. My all time favourite race...every year..
I agree the pacers were a fantastic. great race i thought the signs around the course were encouraging but also made you think at the same time what cancer patients go through. In other words keep going this hill isnt going to last forever - my pain running the hill is short lived. It was an emotional event.
It was my first time doing this 10 mile and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hills were tough alright but the day was perfect, temp nice and cool, no sun. Plenty of water and support along the route. I'll be back next yr for it and will be better prepared for those hills.
Well done to the organisers and the people of Cobh for a great day out.

My first time running this one but I was forewarned about the hills. Very well organised and a good testing course. One of the best things for me was the start time, 10:30 am is ideal. Perfect conditions too and money raised for a worthy cause.
Pacers excellent great advise on the hills if only everyone listened great stuff John Desmond
This is one of the best races around if you ask me. Easy to get in and away, register on the morning if need be, a savage spread afterwards and its very well supported at the finish in Cobh. In fairness, Cobh really get behind this race and it shows.
i would also like acknowledge the great Sonia O'Sullivan. Im sure that when you accomplish what she has that it might be easy to shy away from these type of races when she was actually very much to the fore. A Legend in every sense.
Excellent race & very well organised yet again. The signs were excellent and brought home what the race was about. Well done all in supporting and to people of cobh city including Sonia for making it a great event.
