Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) The new look Connemara Website has been launched. Alan has been on to let us know that it’s one of the first steps towards the biggest Connemarathon yet!

There’s plenty of news, information, photos, and even a few videos.
Information on the old site was a bit scattered, so we’ve tried to organise it a bit better, and more importantly, it will be easier to add information as we go on.
It looks at this stage that we’ll be sold out at about the same time as last year, if not a few weeks sooner.

It’s about the right time to start planning any big spring events for yourself so I can highly recommend this one. There aren’t many marathons where the race director virtually greets every runner who crosses the line or starts each race (3 in all) on a motorbike?! The new site looks great and the forum area is very, very active so find out everything you need to know there!

Connemarathon has three events runs together: the half marathon, the full marathon and the ultra (39.3 miles). Having ran the ultra 3 times (and the half once!) and genuinely loved every minute of every mile I can testify to the sheer pleasure people seem to really get from their Connemara experience. It’s also the reason I ended up at Team Geared Up! :-)

Well done to Race Director Ray who’s probably done God knows how many marathons this year! All good training for the Marathon Des Sables 2009!!
