I'm a slower runner but I chase my times like the rest of them. <br />I've no problem people running with kids but stick to the edge/ out of the way so those wanting to run don't get caught behind them. At least then everyone can get what they need from the run and enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-41405888443038857952017-10-04T21:16:24.154+01:002017-10-04T21:16:24.154+01:00Was out running on part of them course later that ...Was out running on part of them course later that day.

The momentum is picked up on the final downhill and you then veer left to the finishing line. As I was approaching the finish an adult and toddler were hand in hand going at a very slow pace. To avoid a collision I had to run around them.

Just one query. Why do some runners feel the need to run with their children as they approach the end of the race? They may not be concerned with their finishing time but the runner after them may be trying to get a pb and can be hindered by the sudden presence of children. This isn't a reflection of the volunteers who, as Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-73894219575643202792017-10-02T14:35:22.760+01:002017-10-02T14:35:22.760+01:00I am open to correction but apparently the Nationa...I am open to correction but apparently the National Road Authority would not allow plastic bottles to be given outCecilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36499493.post-50644776401342598422017-10-02T11:53:56.714+01:002017-10-02T11:53:56.714+01:00Well done to everyone involved yesterday great rac...Well done to everyone involved yesterday great race to judge your progress when training for Dublin marathon in a few weeks.

Great support considering the length of the race and really good respect shown to runners at traffic hot spots like Cobh Cross which looked like a nightmare to manage.<br /><br />The finish in Cobh is one of my favourites and no exception this year. Nice t-shirt and lovely atmosphere.<br /><br />And all for €15. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
