Well done Ray! Absolutely fantastic event, nothing like it in the world! You really deserve so much credit. We all really enjoyed it, I loved every minute from start to finish, and usually I hate running in the sun.

I really must be one of the early ones in the long queue of congratulation emails you will get. To all involved in the organisation of this race THANK YOU. Can I enter yet for next year????????

Thanks for the effort to organize Connemara 2007, there are no words to say how beautiful was the day, and without a proper organization the weather would not have been enough (and the marathon would just not exists).
Entries surge past 2,000
Mon, 09/11/2009With five months to go, over 2,000 have already secured their places to run, walk and crawl the 2010 RONHILL Connemarathon.
Entry levels have literally surged after the hugely successful staging of the 30th Dublin Marathon. "It is always a busy month for entries, but the level of interest this year is unprecedented and it looks like an earlier sell out date is on the cards this year" said Race Director Ray O'Connor. "Last year's event sold out on December 16th and if entry levels keep increasing as they have over the past few days, the event could be sold out within a matter of weeks."
We have to limit the amount of entrants because of the massive logistics involved in operating such a large scale event in a remote area like Connemara. The management of up to 80 buses to get everyone to the various start lines on time, the narrow roads, and the tight finish area are all factors which are considered when setting entry numbers with consideration for each and every participant's safety our number one priority.
