Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

abdou Build-up screwed by broken ribs and then, having caught up a bit, illness. Going to go for it though, and hopefully not blow up too early...

BS Got a taste for a new pb at Connemara and Belfast should be a bit easier, but it all depends on the day.  Would love a new pb and maybe even go for the sub 3.15, not being too greedy am I

Had to sweat this one out for the chip time but it came in :-)

Justinm 2 hrs 48mins 51 secs, quicker that I expected I felt fine until 19-20 miles. Having to run on past the old entrance to Gideons Green - up the hill to the new entrance, from here my mind started to go lol From then I didnt enjoy the cycle path.  Didnt mind the Dargan area, Felt better in and around the City - until Ormeau Road and Ravenhill Road. They were very long and being able to see so far in front of you at that stage isnt good (for me anyway).

Overall I enjoyed my first Marathon in Belfast.

paul the builder 3:16:20 chip time. I really pushed, and while 3:15 looked possible up to 18-19, I just couldn't keep that pace. Still very pleased with a) a big (12m30) PB, and b) holding it together through the last 10k, unquestionably the hardest section of race I've ever done (not the course, I mean my fatigue and mental battles).  While there are a few hills, and it's certainly not an easy course, it's interesting except for the obligatory industrial estate section from 19-21 ish.  Water in plastic cups is crap for a marathon with aspirations though (although at least they had plenty of stations to make up for the tiny amount that you could actually drink at each one).  Weather - overcast till 15/16 ish then sun broke through, so tough last few miles as it warmed up.
