| Gareth Little | Jan 15 2013, 9:38am | Hi, is there any chance that this race could be moved to the Sunday as WAR Glendalough is on on the same day. Thanks, Gareth |
| cormac O Ceallaigh | Jan 16 2013, 7:51pm | Gareth- i admire your optimism ! the out doors calendar has become jam packed . the outdoors is the new pepsi cola! I think imra's priority is mountain races which take precedence. But must be some flexibility, for example for the 2nd year in a row the connaught champs clashs with Snowdon - I hope the committe will change the date. In the interests of promoting internationals and bringing on up coming runners, and developing their confidence at international level, snowdon race date should be set in stone . It needs priority and runners should be encouraged to take part. I missed it last year for the first time since 2003 in favour of the West- not this year , Snowdon will previal, and hopefully the connaught champs when the committe change the date. |
| Richard Nunan | Jan 16 2013, 9:34pm | Hi Folks, The Calendar has been updated to facilitate both requests. The same request was facilitated for Tonelagee last year to avoid both these races interfering with one another. Connaught Championships has been swapped to a different weekend to enable people to have the choice this year. We would like to encourage as many people as possible to attend a great weekends running at the Connaught Championships. IMRA are under great pressure to fix race routes and dates early in the year in order for us to gain the Permits required for the whole year. As these are to be submitted this week. We will be unable to facilitate further changes. |
| Jeff Fitzsimons | Jan 16 2013, 10:03pm | I am glad I sat down to mark up my target races on my Irish Runner wall planner at 21:40 and not 21:33! |
| Mick Hanney | Jan 16 2013, 11:13pm | In my opinion the move of the Connaught champs is liable to leave as many people unhappy as happy? I used to look forward to those bank holiday weekends with the Saturday and Sunday races. Its harder to justify the travel on a non holiday weekend. |
| Nora Lalor | Jan 17 2013, 3:16pm | Indeed we unfortunately marked our w/end calendar before 21.30pm last nite & so will miss our planned trip west. People doing Snowdon will still miss an IC race on Lug. |
| Brian O Murchu | Feb 1 2013, 7:10pm | Anyone planning a recce? Would like to go with |
| Theo Mooney | Mar 29 2013, 2:38pm | Hi there, I volunteered for this just now, its been a while since I've taken part with IMRA, if someone could contact me to direct when/where I should meet you all on the day for volunteering? |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Apr 12 2013, 3:21pm | I am away for weekend will put more info up on Mon or Tues. Just need a couple more volunteers especially laptop and first aid. Thanks |
| NIamh O Ceallaigh | Apr 14 2013, 9:40pm | Vivian, I''ll be at the race and planning to run, but if you need, I can do laptop for registration and results and can show one of the other volunteers how to operate it during the race itself - as that part is straightforward. |
| Maike Jurgens | Apr 15 2013, 5:33pm | i could volunteer but would need a lift from Sandyford if you still need volunteers. it would be my first time volunteering, too but would be happy to do whichever job. |
| Greg Byrne | Apr 16 2013, 10:22pm | Hi Maike, can you send me an email to gregdbyrne~at~gmail.com and we'll sign you up with the volunteer list and sort out lifts. Greg |
| theo mooney | Apr 18 2013, 1:37pm | Are any volunteers driving from ballyfermot walkinstown area? |
| Greg Byrne | Apr 18 2013, 10:24pm | Just a reminder to everyone thinking of running on Sunday. This race will be on an unmarked open mountain route. Competitors must be capable of navigating their way around the course. The mandatory kit is: 1. map of route 2. compass 3. whistle 4. rain coat 5. hat or cap 6. gloves If you don't have the mandatory kit you can't run. You may also be asked at registration to give the required bearing from the summit to the western edge of the lake, or from the lake back to the summit. Anyone wondering why we ask for mandatory kit should read the race reports from last weekends Glacier Lakes. While the forecast predicts the rain to be lighter, there is likely to be snow on the mountain with low cloud & rain passing throughout the morning. Be prepared and you'll get one hell of a race. |
| Brian O Murchu | Apr 19 2013, 10:31am | Anyone going to this race that could offer a lift from Dublin area? murchubrian at gmail dot com |

| Brendan Lawlor | Apr 19 2013, 3:54pm | 'Last minute decision to run this.' - famous last words Turlough! Hope you are fit and ready! |
| Turlough Conway | Apr 20 2013, 10:28am | Unfortunately it doesnt look like it as ive beenstruck downagain by virus number umpteenth. Could someone travelling from dublin offer brian a lift if you see this, as i wouldnt want this virus to knock two people out of such a great race! |
