Thanks to all involved in this race, as always so well organised by Clonmel AC and such value for money. Plenty of water stops and stewards, special thanks to people who gave out the sweets they were so appreciated.
Agree with the above. This was a very well organised race with plenty of water and post race food. Great atmosphere at the finish. The first lady should have been in Rio with that incredible time. We'll done clonmel AC
Unfortunately half marathon times don't count towards Olympic qualification ..... Or wait maybe they do!!!!
Fantastic event, second year doing it. Protein milk , Bananas plentiful after,along with loads of water around the course and at the finish line. Terrific value for €25 and the t-shirt and medals top class. I'll be back next year with all the family. Well done Clonmel.
