Is it not a bit silly that there is no facility to pick up a race pack early on Saturday morning at the race HQ in Killarney ? If you don't live in Killarney or pretty close by, then you are almost forced to book accomodation in Killarney on the Friday night if you want to run in either of these races.
I would love to run in the 10k, but can't stay over on the Friday night, hence i won't be running. I wonder how many potential runners they are excluding with this policy.
Hi John,
They also have the option to post out the pack
However, that offer expired on July 8th...same as you John I wont be participating because of this
The race pack is posted out if you can't go down Friday night.
