Brilliantly organised, definitely one of the best events on the calendar. Well done to all concerned
ReplyDeleteFantastic run, really helped that the day was so good. Excellent water supplies and stewards. The results seem to be wrong for some runners. Overall a great event.
ReplyDeleteHas anybody else had any problems with their finishing time not appearing in the 25km results? There was no sign of my race number (841 I think)when I went to collect it on Sunday morning before the race start so I was allocated a new one. No problem with that except my new number doesn't appear in the results. By my reckoning I finished in 24th position which would have given me first place in my age category (M45), unless others are also missing from the results. Does anybody know who I can contact to enquire into this? It would be lousy to miss out on a prize, if I have won one. I don't win too many!
ReplyDeleteReally well organised event that takes great care of the runners on the road and afterwards- the number of helpers is remarkable. This year was the 4th time I have travelled from Wicklow for either the 25k or the 10k and each time has been worth the trip. I don't know the organising structure but it appears to an outsider that Conor Phelan contributes hugely to the success and is a very positive force for running in the area. Many thanks to him in particular.
ReplyDeleteWith so many runners, a few errors are bound to slip in. Anyone who has any questions about their times or positions should contact the organisers via the race website (link at bottom of post). Keep an eye on the Premier Timing site for corrections.
ReplyDeleteWell done again. Change of route made finish tougher but then 25K is never easy.. Love the atmosphere, scenery, stewarding, water and finish area.. Congrats to all involved..
ReplyDeleteGreat event, my sis and brother in law ran the 25, I ran the 10. Thanks to everyone involved, marshals etc, well looked after at the finish, sarnies, coffee etc. Pass on our regards

Well done guys on a good race. I saw it advertised here a few months back and it was certainly worth the trip. I hope to make it back in 2019.
ReplyDeleteFantastic event. so well organised, start to finish. well done to all involved.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the course and the overall running of it,t weather and even music added to the great atmosphere,,fantastic food afterwards
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliantly organised race will be back next year. Would like chip timing at start of 10km
ReplyDeleteGreat event and organization again this year. Only gripe would be that it's not difficult to capture the participants' clubs during registration so they can be displayed in the results.
