Thanks to Mallow AC and volunteers for organizing a great race. It was a very enjoyable run. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, the race was sold out, they expected 2000+ runners so 25% didn't show up? Is that average?
ReplyDeleteInjuries and people who don't bother turnin up.
DeleteAoife Cooke 55mins, some run, must be one of fastest female 10 mile times in Ireland for a while?
ReplyDeleteDef can't remember a cork runner posting a time like that
DeleteMallow Macra has an album on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1070203883188403&type=1&l=0d21cbdbd5
ReplyDeleteAs for no-shows, I think it was around 20% for the Ballycotton 10.
ReplyDeleteWell done Mallow AC. Great event. Went very well. Great support from volnteers and supports along the route.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos too John.
Congrats to Mallow AC on another well-organized and enjoyable run. I do this race every year and it never disappoints. Long may the Mallow 10 continue.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time running Mallow and I really enjoyed it. It right up there with the best of them and I'll definitely be back next year. Well done Mallow AC.
ReplyDeleteA word of thanks to the 70 min pacers, they were well on top of their game and a great help to the group.
ReplyDeleteTake (another) bow Mallow - every year they put on a fantastic event. Well done all concerned. We'll be back again next year
ReplyDeleteGreat well organised event as ever, thanks a lot to Mallow AC!
ReplyDeleteAgree with the 3rd poster - that's a fantastic run by Aoife Cooke 55.17 - Congratulations.

I'd reckon if you went over the last 10 years very few if any Irish women have gone near 55 mins.the last I can remember would be Maria Cambridge about 5years ago in ballycotton
DeleteLike to know history of this race, any one know previous winners in early to mid 90's?

ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the race. Will be back next year. One 'opportunity for Improvement' as there called nowadays would be to split the surname registration for 'N-O' as the volume for that queue far exceeded the other surname queues. It led to a 20 minute wait for the number. The 3 volunteers at that table were under too much pressure doing their best while other manned tables had no queues.
ReplyDeleteWhat a race so well organised, absolutely fantastic quality T-shirt , great support, great stewarding and a fantastic spread in the hall afterwards.
ReplyDeleteIt is my first time at race where there was no queues for teas/coffees
The whole event was seamless
This is the best 10 miler is Cork hands down
Well done Mallow AC see you next year.
