TFK Fun Running Thread 2025

Well done yesterday. Looked like extremely challenging conditions judging by the video clips & reports.

Entries for that new Dublin city half marathon are opening tomorrow at midday.

Demand could be high so I’d set a little reminder to log on & pick up an entry if you’re keen to run it.

www.dublincityhalfmarathon.ie

No confirmation of price yet. It’s on Sunday 30 March.

Saw 70 euros quoted somewhere. Steep enough. I’ll say it’ll sell out though as timing and route are good.

I won’t be in for it as am signed up for Berlin half with a few club mates a week later

The clocks are going forward the night before so ridiculous start time too. I was thinking about it but between the price and the early start I don’t think I’ll bother.

Great shout on the clocks. Think I’ll let it pass too.

I’ve an entry for Donadea Half Marathon on Saturday I won’t be using if anyone wants it

Doesn’t seem to be too much enthusiasm for it in some of the running WhatsApp groups I’m in and most of those are Dublin based. You’d nearly have to be staying up night before if you’re travelling from much further afield. Madrid half and the one in the Hague are about €45 in comparison.

How much is the entry for the Berlin half? Have ran the marathon over there a good few times and great event.

I didn’t realise the start time is 8.30am & that the clocks are going forward an hour the night before, but I’ll still probably enter it. €68 is exorbitant too, I thought they would cap it at around €50/€55 (no higher than half marathon price).

@Bandage when you click that Eventmaster link above it brings you through a holding / waiting page so no harm to click into it earlier if you want to get in

Was in the site & I went from a 1 to a 15 minute waiting time at 12 when it went live. There were over 4k people ahead of me in the queue. It might be sold out before I’m scheduled to get in at 12.15!

Seems like its crashing for loads of people after entering the details page - fair auld shitshow

I keep getting kicked out before even getting into the booking page.

Its already been compared to the Oasis tickets debacle

Sounds like they priced it right!

I went into the Great Limerick Run website to check the price of the half in Limerick. Clicked in signup and it looks like it’s diverting to the sign up for the Dublin half!

Its Eventmaster thats crashing, so if you’re trying to access any Eventmaster event you’re in the same queue!
