That's why I started the ultra's... best value for money 

Have to miss Mourne Way this year, doesn't time in well with other races. It is a top event though.

I'm having second thoughts after seeing the entry fees!

Entry Fees:
Mourne Way Ultra Marathon - 52 miles:   £55.00   
Mourne Way Marathon - 26 miles:   £45.00   
Mourne Way Half Marathon - 13 miles:   £35.00   
Mourne Way - 10K:  £25.00
Mourne Way 5K: £20.00
Mourne Way Challenge Walk - 26 miles: £45.00

Aye £35 for the half marathon is steep but I also heard its a great event and the draw was the added scenery.  Ultras sound way out if my league, I done the Belfast marathon once and swore I'd never ever do it again.  Awful just awful.

Do you get a free t shirt for those prices??

[clairebear]

No it's a tenner, needless to say I didn't get one

[Kayakgirl]

At least with Runher you get a free tee

I did Mourne Way half last year,  35 quids steep for sure,included in the goody bag was a 26extreme buff and other bits and bobs.alco free beer too  but we were bused from Rostrevor  to Ott car park starting point.they used 5  big 53 seater coaches,so i guess they dont come cheap.It was good fun actually,and slightly surreal going down tiny roads through Attical to the start of a race.The race its self was great craic, Mourneman was on the Hen mtn feed station! :)the going on the mtn sections was pretty muddy but i got away with road shoes. I def recommend the half ,was great atmos with the other runners.Hope to do it this year, calf injury at minute though  .   PS the 10k at £25 is bad value i rekon, i did it two years ago,and again a bus transfer to leitrim Lodge was in the price.. happy running.

[clairebear]

That's good to know about the bus transfer and all, I'd heard it was a good race and I can see past the entry If it's well organised. 
Hope the calf heals up

 Cheers Claire. Sure Give it a go. It was a blast.  Ps a friend did the ultra 52 ish miles !!! Dont think he,s been the same since LOL   

[clairebear]

I'd struggle to drive 52 miles!

[clairebear]

Heading a run up and about divis later, around 50 minutes ish, probably around 4pm ish if anyone fancies it?

Debating Wither to hit the 10k or the half marathon.... Whichever its an awesome day out in the hills. Last year I camped out in Kilbroney Park the evening before and strolled down after for the race. Might be an idea this year: have to see if I can manage it with work.

Instead of a tee-shirt they give u a medal and a 26 extreme buff. It's worth running just for the buff!

[rin44]

Do the half its .better value. 10k is over too quick and feels like an anti climax,compared to the half. It feels like an adventure
