I think i may have a reason why the numbers were so low.could be wrong but when I tried to register for this event I found it difficult to find any info on it.When I googled it,what i got was previous years results.I had to dig deep to find what I was looking for.To me this is a pity because first of all the scecnery on this half marathon is as good as it gets plus its 3 weeks before the Dublin city marathon thereby providing a decent challange to anyone doing dublin.Hopefully it will be better advertised next year.

Enjoyed a fantastic run around Valentia Island on Half Marathon Course yesterday.It felt like a summer's day and the views were immense.4th Year doing this Tough but Wonderful Course and I never grow tired of the views. It's a day out I look forward to each year

Richard, I too had to ring the tourist office to confirm if the event was taking place. For whatever reason I'm not sure the Triathlon Club were committed to it until a few weeks ago.

It was confirmed that it will be taking place again next year and those present were asked to put the word out.

It really is too good a course to let slip off the calendar, it has everything. Apart from the spectacular views of the lighthouse and the Blaskets it's a real challenge with a mix of climbs and extended flats.

I'll be in contact with the club to make sure they promote it better next year. Hope yuo make it then.
