| Keith McBean | Aug 5 2013, 10:42pm | I've just returned from living abroad and wondered if I could run the Glen of the Downs race on 7 August. In the circumstances, could I just register for this race as its hardly worth registering for what's left of the 2013 season? Many thanks for any advice. Regards, Keith McBean |
| Kevin O'Riordan | Aug 5 2013, 10:43pm | No problems at all doing the race. Afraid the only race where the registration fee is normally waived is the AGM race. It's only €10 to register anyway. |
| Keith McBean | Aug 5 2013, 10:53pm | Many thanks to Kevin for the quick reply and that's no problem, |
| Brendan Lawlor | Aug 6 2013, 9:40am | Hi I need two or three more volunteers for tomorrow's race, particularly non runners to do some marshalling on the course |
| John Bell | Aug 6 2013, 10:01am | If somebody wants to try out one of these trail runs, having not run with IMRA before do they have to pay the full registration fee €10 and race fee €7? Or is there a discount given as there are only a few races (2 trail) left this year? |
| Brendan Lawlor | Aug 6 2013, 11:12am | Thank you Richard, Rachel and Sean - I'm fine for help now Can all volunteers please try to be at race registration area by 6.15pm. Please carpool from the Glencormac Inn as parking along the road is limited enough. Please be careful of traffic on what can be a busy road and please respect any locals using the lane up to the forest Early start (7.10pm) may be facilitated for over 180% runners |
| Jan Saunders | Aug 6 2013, 11:44am | Hello! I'm an Australian visitor just houseminding in Aughrim until the 21st of August and would love to come along and run in this event tomorrow night! And meet some of the Irish running community :) Is this possible and if so may I just turn up an hour or so before and enter? I am merely a social trail runner in my country but training for an ultra in costa rica in February so I really enjoy discovering some new trail in new countries and if possible pick the brains of more experienced mountain and trail runners :) Many thank in advance Jan Saunders :) |
| Brendan Lawlor | Aug 6 2013, 11:50am | Hi Jan That will be no problem- we pride ourselves on being a friendly lot! |
| Jan Saunders | Aug 6 2013, 11:53am | Oh yay! It sounds like fun! Thank you! I will come early as likely to get lost driving there... haaaaa! It's a 17euro entry I take it? Many thanks again :) |
| Mick Hanney | Aug 6 2013, 12:31pm | Jan - you might be able to benefit from next Weds race too which is near Laragh. I'm near Aughrim too so if you wanted company on a run during your stay drop me a line hanneymick at gmail.com I've pretty good local trail knowledge. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Aug 6 2013, 1:53pm | Tomorrows route (please see associated map) A-B-C-D (Marshal)-E-F-G-H-I(Marshal)-C-B-A Junior route A-B-C-D (Junior Turnaround Marshal)-C-B-A Juniors will start two minutes after the main field as the track from C to D is narrow in places |
| Jill Walker | Aug 7 2013, 7:34am | How far is the start from the parking area? |
| John J Barry | Aug 7 2013, 8:10am | Jill, As Brendan says.. "Please carpool from the Glencormac Inn as parking along the road is limited enough. " Glencormac Inn is less than 10 minutes drive. Volunteers, I'll be at "Glencormac Inn" at ~6 p.m. looking / offering a lift for volunteers needing to be at the start for 6:15. |
| Jan Saunders | Aug 7 2013, 4:39pm | Thanks heaps Mick! I'm slow and take photos but I'm enthusiastic haaaaaa! Will email you with my phone number etc...that would be awesome! |
| Jan Saunders | Aug 7 2013, 4:53pm | Oh just saw the car pool thing. Anyone from the direction of Aughrim? I'm sorry I don't know the names of other villages to know which ones are a possibility for me to meet up with! I know the way to ballingclash or avoca tho! |
| Michael Blighe | Aug 7 2013, 9:59pm | Many thanks to Paul for patching me up at the finish...feeling pretty sore at the moment but, thankfully, doesn't look too bad! Thanks to Jimmy and everyone else who stopped to make sure I was ok. Should be back out next Wednesday night! |
