Updated Entries Listing for Athletics Ireland National Marathon Championship 2019

Dublin

Sunday October 27th 2019

Updated 16:30pm, 18th October 2019

The Athletics Ireland National Marathon Championship will be incorporated in the KBC Airtricity Dublin Marathon, on Sunday October 27th 2019

Championship Times

Last year there was a lot of grief with Championship Times, when all championship times, both individual and team, were based on the Gun Time for Wave 1. As a result, Championship entrants were "penalised" by up to 45 minutes (Wave 4), before they even ran a single step.

Thankfully there has been a compromise that appears to address the issue: "All National Marathon Championship results will be based on gun times. There will be 4 waves, with each having a separate gun time."

This means that you will NOT be time penalised is you start in Waves 2, 3 or 4. So, someone running a gun time of, say 3:45:00, in Wave 2, will be credited with 3:45:00. Last year, the additional 15 minutes (9:15am start) would have been added, giving an official gun time of 4:00:00.  Relief all-round!

Listings

Athletics Ireland has released the FINAL listing of entries in the National Marathon Championship.  The listings were supplied by Dublin BHAA, organisers of the Dublin City Marathon, and were drawn from the online entries inputted by competitors.

As with every other year, the entry list is strewn with errors: Many entrants omitted to select their club from the dropdown list, others selected the wrong club from the listing. Consequently it is vital that all athletes, and clubs, check the listings, to ensure that all their members are included, and, where there are errors or omissions, notify This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. BY 1PM on Wednesday NEXT October 23rd.

All entries into the National Marathon must be submitted by 1pm on Wednesday, October 23rd. No changes can be made after this time.

If you have a query about the published list, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. DIRECTLY

NB: Every year this listing causes much anguish and consternation, with clubs and individuals omitted.  When entering the Marathon, athletes can select their Athletics Ireland club from the drop-down listing. ...and that is where the problems start!

The club listing is initially formed from a list of 'current' clubs, supplied by Athletics Ireland. Unfortunately the list supplied to the marathon organisers is sometimes not up-to-date, so newer clubs, or clubs whose names have changed are often missing.

Cork Club Representation

There are 392 Cork Athletes, from 37 Cork Clubs, so just approx. 2/3rds registered Cork clubs are represented. Eagle AC (40), Watergrasshill AC (45), Mallow AC (29), and St. Finbarrs AC and Mallow AC both with (29) have the largest Cork representations, and, with a strong Cork pedigree in the Marathon Championship, no doubt, all five clubs will be chasing various Team and Individual honours.

Individual Championship Entries

This listing was compiled, by Athletics Ireland, from entry data submitted by individual athletes. As stated earlier a number of those on the Cork listing are NOT registered Athletics Ireland athletes.  Even though your name may be on this list, you will *NOT* be included in the Championship, if you remain unregistered.  Don't be disappointed - register your athletes!
