Over the last fortnight or so, it's been pretty wet for a lot of the evening races and this may have impacted on numbers. However, this one in contrast was held in pretty much ideal conditions as it was nice and dry. A total of 378 runners took part which is down 29.3% on last year which is a pretty large drop considering the weather.
What was also very noticeable with the 8pm start was just how much the light was fading at the end, especially for the slower runners. After a fantastic summer, we are definitely sliding towards the dark evenings.

ReplyDeletePlease bring this to the attention of the Cork BHAA committee. Valid point as the racing population is getting older and still racing which is great. However, races still need to wash their own faces and with lower entries overall this is getting more difficult.
