I think thats a typo, must be Cromac Street.

There is a Loughview Road in Crumlin but its also the name of the road that goes past Cutters Wharf, had to check on a map to be honest as I have run along it loads but never realised what it was called.

Thanks Martin! was being bilnd, checked the website again and saw the route. Looks really good but a bit vague when it gets to shaws bridge, does seem like the last cpl of miles will be tough.

Hopefully it attracts a big field.

I love the Saucony Tyoe A5's they are great for speed work and shorter races, they are very light with a nice firm feel. I got mine for £40 and at that price they are a bargain.

I use Kinvara's for my longer runs/races and they are also a great shoe, as the Kinvara 4 has just been released you should be able to pick up the 3 cheap as well.

Does anyone know when the route for the Belfast half marathon in September will be released?

Got my confirmation letter today and it reminded me that they still haven't published where the race will be going.

This years Belfast marathon was my first so I have no experience of running one without relay runners but seeing someone cruise past me 22 miles into the race looking as fresh as a daisy is a bit demoralising!

On the other hand I did have to laugh at a guy I passed who was doing the first leg of the the relay, they were walking about 1 1/2 miles into the marathon. I assume he must have gone out very fast and suffered about a mile in.
