Mallow 10 entries close 29th Jan & the Mallow Buff...

As of noon on Thursday the 29th of January, there were only about 5 entries left out of 1500 for the Mallow 10 mile road race. Those last few are likely to go today and if not, entries will be closed off at the end of the day anyway.

As shown in this earlier post, the number of entries have been coming in at a steady 30 a day for the last month. The date that it closed is almost identical to last year except that this year, there were an extra 300 places on offer so the level of interest was up again this year.

For those that have entered, the organisers will be putting up an entry list next week so that any errors can be picked up on and corrected.

All finishers this year will receive a buff...

The last time they gave out a buff was at the Mallow 10 in 2013. You can see the various uses it can be put to below but one of the most useful is to use it as a neck scarf on a really cold day when you're out for a long run.
