First time running this in this event, it was very well organised event, plenty of marshalls and local support. That hill though... 🥵
ReplyDeleteGreat event and the wind was nice to have at your back at the end! Thanks to all the volunteers and John for all the photos
ReplyDeleteA truely fantastic event. Well done to all involved in organising a great day . You have the best volunteers
ReplyDeleteAt the start of the race my wife and her friend and a number of other people were invited in to a house near the start line to use the their loos , even their upstairs one!! What a gesture and consistent with how well supported the race actually was. I haven't ever seen crowds like that , the 80 minute pacers were brilliant
ReplyDeleteSuper race but feel sorry for the people doing the cleanup. The amount of people I saw throw gel wrappers in bushes and on random parts of the road. They are carrying a full one all along, what difference does it make to carry an empty one to the next water stop or to the finish. Disgrace really, have some respect for the environment and the people who have to go and clean up after you
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone need to use a gel in a ten mile race in the first place.
DeleteWould it be worth putting up a standalone post on this blog advising people to take responsibility for their litter or to take a poll on people's view of litter at race?
ReplyDeleteFantastic run. Brilliantly organised. One man pushing a buggy in the crowded start was dangerous. Are buggies allowed?
ReplyDeleteFirst time running this event, great set up; loved the day out.
ReplyDeleteEcho the points above about the littering. I think dumping your water bottle on the verge, or near a collection point is within reason becuase it is understood there will be a cleanup operation, but I saw one Youghal AC member fire his bottle as far into the ditch as possible, between mile 6 and 7. I just don't understand the logic? Surely it's common sense not to litter like that? But I guess not.
And credit to the organisers, I was passing along the route later in the day and there was one guy driving by himself hopping out collecting gel wrappers etc.
Looking forward to next year.
Great race, Great history. The best 10 mile race in the country.
