Overheard a good few runners saying the same.

Doesn't impact on Dublin series and Ballycotton which are quite hilly. <br />Clonmel have definately learnt their lesson from last two years and I would expect this race to sell out over the next few years.<br />Vredit to organisers and helpers from Clonmel AC.
