Conditions were almost ideal for this years East Cork Harbour Marathon, Half-Marathon & 10k on Sat 12th of Aug with almost dry conditions. There was a light shower at one stage but it didn't amount to much.
There were 113 runners in the full marathon, 302 in the half - marathon and 402 in the 10k. This is reasonably close to last year when it was 103, 335 and 432.

This is a really good half marathon, tough hills for the first half and flat from Whitegate home. It is, however, the support along the route that makes it extra special. So many people out clapping and encouraging, even two playing the accordions. The finish party was brilliant including the band. Well done East Cork, a good honest race with great encouragement. I'll be back.. and I'll bring my friends. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell done to those involved in organising the 3 races today. Plenty of marshals, water stations and liked the new location for the car parks. The entertainment by the band was very enjoyable. Great goodie bag. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI took part in the 10K and it was a very enjoyable run. Thanks to the volunteers who were very helpful and good natured. The organisation on the day was excellent, with a great atmosphere throughout. The sense of community in the area really shone through.
ReplyDeleteP.S The website is excellent, John. Thanks for putting so much time into it.
What an absolute amazing event from start to finish. Take a bow. The stewarding, Gardai, Red Cross, music etc etc etc was first class. The entertainment, facepainting, BBQ, facilities I could go on and on. Well done Race Director Brendan Crowley and his amazing team. Wishing you continued success. I'll definitely be back next year. Until then be proud and take care.
ReplyDeleteIt was my first time doing this half marathon, such a well organised event from start to finish! I would recommend any runner to take part! An abundance of water stations along the way, an abundance of food afterwards, a great goodie bag and lovely t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteIt was my 2nd year doing the half marathon this year and i have to say this event just gets better and better. It is so well organised and the parking in the GAA pitch this year was a fantastic addition. Brilliant support from the crowds and fantastic support from the pacers it really is one of the highlights of the summer for me. myself, my mom and my dad had a brilliant day and look forward to it next year. Ill be recommending it to everyone i know. :)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive race. Gets 5/5 from me. The Band & BBQ a great way to wind down afterwards. Well done folks and hopefully a good cheque heading to Marymount.
ReplyDeleteExcellent organisation, marshalling and community support for all 3 races. Great event all round. Would highly recommend.
