Why bother with pacers when they don’t bother aiming for the time. Some as much as 90 seconds out which is huge when someone is targeting a time. Especially when they go too fast, a race is over before it gets to half way. Be better off with none and let people run their own race

Absolutely a great day and the atmosphere was electric. Hats off to Youghal AC

Which pacers in particular?

Was it just me or was it hard to figure out the km/mile markers ?

What a great even, really enjoyed it. Shout out to the 90 mins and 2hrs 10 pacers they got me and my partner over the line. Atmosphere in the town was electric, plenty of water, good support on the route, one thing I would like to see changed for next year is the half marathon to start before the 10k. Beeing out on course longer in the midday heat is tough. I don't think it would take away from event at all. Could even start it at 9amm Thank you Youghal A C.

What a super event from start to finish. Roll on next year.

Same, I don't have a running watch so had no clue how far I had run until I saw the finish line. Then I realised the markers I saw were for miles and not km.

We looked at it last year and decided on putting the 10k on 1st so we can ensure all participants are off the course before the Half starts.
