This looks like a good event, and a worthy cause -- but do they really have to go head-to-head with the Cork BHAA Turkey Trot, which is on the same day, on a date that was published months ago ?
ReplyDeleteIts unfortunate that they clash, but its a great cause, i think its a good thing runners have a choice, it was bound to happen sometime with all the races around. Did,nt the BHAA go head to head with the Cork County senior cross country?
ReplyDeletePity about clash - I would have lived to go to Kinsale.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the more frequent clashes are testament to the growing popularity of running - beign spolt for choice is better than having too little choice.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the Kinsale run went as well as the BHAA run..and hopefully they had as much singing at the post run teas as we had in Cork !
