Connemarathon 2010 - All welcome

[Seafront Plodder]

The Connemarathon 'Choose Your Distance' will offer entrants the ability to take on any distance they choose over the legendary course three weeks before the big day.

Buses will depart Galway City at 9:00am on March 10th and drive the entire Ultra, Full and Half Marathon route allowing entrants to choose their individual starting point with everyone finishing at Maam Cross. There will be three water stations set out on the course with a range of snacks. Connemarathon Race Director Ray O'Connor says "This is a great opportunity for everyone to see first hand what 'the devil's mother' or 'the hell of the west' is actually like without having to take on the full distance. Once the bus arrives at the mile marker that you want to start from you can hop off and run." The event is perfect for anyone taking on the Half, Full or Ultra Marathon this April. Everyone is then brought back to Oughterard by bus for a well earned buffet lunch followed by a interesting course overview and Q&A session which will be hosted by Mick Rice.
