I had a very slow run due to a pre race illness but didn't mind as it gave me an excuse to have even more time on the lovely course and to chat to some of my fellow participants along the way. will have to come back next year to bury the demons!
-
The organisation was faultless, from the baggage buses, to the fantastic aid stations(those kids worked HARD), to the t shirts and medals. All utterly, utterly wonderful (the scenery was quite nice too-tee hee).

On a personal note, was my 1st ever race/half marathon, started training in Jan 07 for this, am now addicted, absolutely loved the day, great atmosphere, well done to all !
Ultra Marathon 2010 Biggest Field Yet!
Fri, 26/02/2010The first Connemara Ultra Marathon took place in 2004 with just 38 brave souls taking on the marathon and a half distance of 39.3 miles.... and look what’s happened since.
58 turned up at the finish line in 2005, 61 braved the elements in 2006. Then in 2007 81 finished, followed by another 97 in 2008. Last year saw the 100 barrier broken for the first time with 107 people completing the distance.
And now looking forward to 2010, a massive field of over 200, yes that’s right, two hundred people are expected over the finish line of the Ronhill Connemara Ultra Marathon this April.
“This huge surge in entries is no doubt down to the ledgendary and unique distance on offer in Connemara. It’s long enough to know you’ve done something extraordinary, but not all day and night long which is nice” commented Race Director Ray O’Connor.
