Very well organised event from entry, volunteer marshall's on and off coarse to the friendly first aiders on hand.<br /><br />If there is an issue with online entry then I would suggest that John Buckley's is a very friendly shop with a computer connected to the internet at the till. I'm sure if it was not abused then they would easily handle your Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-29186753466248024132012-05-19T17:06:50.890+01:002012-05-19T17:06:50.890+01:00Re comments about online entry, I am in my mid fif...Re comments about online entry, I am in my mid fifties and and a relative newcomer to running. The internet is probably one of the reasons I got involved in running in the first place as looking at various races, particularly marathons, prompted me to try it out ! I dont really believe there is anyone capable of running four miles, who is not capable to getting someone to enter online for them, Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172535590393289741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-54291569183195953112012-05-04T14:13:52.739+01:002012-05-04T14:13:52.739+01:00I confirm that I requested permission, from Danny ...I confirm that I requested permission, from Danny McCarthy, to have an entry desk for The Cheetah Run at the Midleton race. We had also intended having a desk at Pfizer, as last year. However we expected entries to close in 4 or 5 days - last year, it took over 3 weeks to fill - but we were surprised at the speed at which the 800 places were snapped up.

We were requested by John Quigley Eagle AC for permission to have a desk there and informed our members that there would be.

The success of the online system should be looked at by Ballycotton for their race. Up the price from 15 to include the fee charged by doing it online. They could still use postal entry for Club runners, Overseas, Summer Series and any runners who have competed in over 10 Ballycotton "10" races.

Entries will close automatically when the 800 entries limit is reached.<br /><br />There will be no entries taken after the 800 barrier has been reached.Eagle ACnoreply@blogger.com
