She's the first woman to reach 1000 marathons. @Ally-C - Dingle marathon is another race I want to do again, breathtaking scenery. Pricey place too. Over the years I've spent a fortune travelling to Ireland for races, up to 8 times a year. Never regretted a penny of it.

We got transferred after the half by bus and the first half looked much nicer, plus the buses would’ve been a pain in the arse going by.

They used to have an ultra, 50 miles, which I've done and goes over the highest pass in Ireland then dropped down to Dingle and picked up the marathon route for the final 26 miles. Stunning, and remains my favourite race of all time.
