Very well organised race at a goid price with good spread afterwards but not a course for a fast time since they changed the course a few years back.
Agreed ha thought it was just be that didn't agree with fast course description but very good organised race great weather and lovely hat green and white next year lads ����
I don't know I found the course very fair. Last year they had 8 under 68 minutes. Comparing that to Charleville which I think most would consider a fast if not thee fastest course only had 1, 7 this year. Waterford didn't seem to get the same field this year presumably with it being so close to the European cross country and Dublin.
It's a tough course but fair.mile 10 is savage
Hats off to Waterford AC. So well organised and big thank you to the 2hr pacers, very kind and helpful individuals giving up their time and energy.
