I'll kick this off with mine: anyone fancy a 26 miler tomorrow morning? 17th March: meet by the Colloseum, Rome, at 9:30 ;D
yeah sure, i'll be the one in the high heels ::)
Just posting so I will get updates on this thread.
Have fun Rusty.
Me too
posting so I will be notified.
ALSO!
Monday morning tow path from cutters warf to either shaws bridge or the giants ring if anyone fancies it. planning on being at cutters for 10am.
Anyone doin the Jaffa cake mud madness??
Aye... I'm in for it... After doing Toughguy it shouldn't be too bad hopefully!
Aye heard that toughguy is tight alright. I'm in the 11 am one which one you in?
Haven't entered yet but said to a friend I'd do it with him. My lasting memory of Toughguy was climbing out of a frozen lake with ice floating on its surface and crawling into a tunnel not much wider than my shoulders... Only to be repeatedly electrocuted as I climbed through lol! ... Gonna check out the website here and book the time off work. Let u know which one I'm in, one thing I did learn at Toughguy was that these events are often more enjoyable and manageable in small teams... Maybe get an NI-Wild one going. Theres nothing worse than losing a shoe under 4ft of mud only to find your alone and stuck in the mud!
Aye I know what u mean, when I entered I couldn't get any of my mates to do it, they all think I'm mad. Gonna just fire on and hope for the best!
Rusty how did ya get on at mud madness?
Me and a friend just entered the mourne way 10km in June. I persuaded her with the promise of a country fried chicken after!
I'm tempted to do the mourne way half marathon, but more likely to try the 10k, would you stretch as far as a KFC Big Daddy box meal ?
Half marathon was talked about but my knee gives my jip after 8/9 miles (my excuse) I'm a country girl lol. KFC is a city thing. Sounds like a nice wee route from rostrevor,
I'm having second thoughts after seeing the entry fees!
QuoteEntry Fees:
Mourne Way Ultra Marathon - 52 miles: £55.00
Mourne Way Marathon - 26 miles: £45.00

Mourne Way - 10K: £25.00

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.

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??
No it's a tenner, needless to say I didn't get one
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. :)
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 ;D
I'd struggle to drive 52 miles!
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! :)
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 ;D
