ReplyDeleteGreat race. Superbly organised, faultless in fact. Surely deserving of a bigger turnout. Those who entered got their moneys worth that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood test of stamina. Superbly organised race, plenty of stewards, good water stations and beautiful running conditions all in a good cause. Where else would you wish to be than here in Passage tonight?

The most underrated race on d calendar. A credit to all involved!! A pleasure to race it.
ReplyDeleteGreat race. Very well organised with loads of stewards cheering us on. Lovely scenic route along the old railway line. Some challenging hills but really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteAgree with all comments above.This is how it should be done great community effort,great course (blot out the hill)plenty water and great spread.Congrats to all!!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I noticed was a lack of direct participation locally from the GAA and soccer clubs. Compared to other races where there is huge local involvement the GAA and soccer clubs don't seem to want any of their members actually running the race. This isn't to take away from a brilliantly organised event but just an observation, given that the numbers are v low for a race with a good location.
ReplyDeleteGreat promotion, congrats to Passage
ReplyDeleteBest race I ever ran. Keep up the great work and hope to see you all again next year. Dara in Douglas
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for facilitating such a well organised event. Fair play to all the volunteers! Will definitely be back next year and will try to drag a few more rowers down. Billy
