| Alan Gomez Raventos | Oct 17 2013, 5:39pm | Hello everyone! My name is Alan come from Catalonia, Spain. I live in Dublin and I would like to sign up to the POWERSCOURT RIDGE on November 16, but I have no car and can not reach by bus. Someone in Dublin will go I could you please take me? If you make the weekend outings in the mountains also would be happy to accompany! Thank you! |
| Rory Campbell | Oct 17 2013, 7:10pm | Hi Alan, I'll be driving from Dublin so you can have a lift. Can you email me at campbell_rory at hotmail dot com and I'll send you details? Rory |
| Jim Fitzharris | Oct 22 2013, 2:18pm | Hi all, I see that the IMRA AGM is scheduled to start in Kilmacanogue at 1:30 pm after this race. That seems very tight! I know that plenty of runners will comfortably break the 2 hour barrier for this race in time for the AGM but others won't (here's your brother!). It does not allow the RD or post-race volunteers time to get down for the start of the AGM. Cheers, Jim. |
| Karl Hearty | Oct 23 2013, 4:04pm | Hi, Can this race be run as one off or does one have to pay full membership for 2013 plus the race fee? I would like to join for 2014 but ideally not have to pay for 2013 seeing as its end of year. Kind Regards, Karl |
| Richard Nunan | Oct 23 2013, 4:26pm | Hi Karl, One off payment of 10euro will be the cost for this race on the day if you are not a member. This is a special rate for the last race of the year. This is your fee for joining and paying for the race on the day. Only members can run this race for Insurance reasons. |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Oct 29 2013, 9:03pm | Hi Folks, Need a few volunteers for Powerscourt: Summit Marshalls for Djouce and Maulin Laptop Operator - non runner First Aid Person - non runner A couple more for start/finish - runner/non runner The race course itself won't be marked. Race registration will be from 9.30am Early start from 10am Short course to Maulin by the usual way up the forest ride and back along the Wicklow Way. Junior course is to the bridge over the river via the Wicklow Way and back the same way. Prizegiving will be in the Glencormac Inn straight after the race and before the AGM. As there hasn't been a race for a while those of you who have run with us this year try and remember your race number - look up a race you ran earlier - write it down and put it in the car. |
| Rory Campbell | Oct 30 2013, 9:30am | Hi Vivian, You can put me down for either summit marshall. Rory |
| suzanne Kenny | Oct 30 2013, 11:57pm | Hey there, u can put me down as a non running volunteer too :) |
| Billy Grantham | Oct 31 2013, 2:48pm | Pondering whether to do this run but wondering if someone can tell me whether the route is roughly the same as the Powerscourt Uphill and back again? I have never done an unmarked route before, which is why I am a bit hesitant on this one. Thanks. |
| brian mcguckin | Oct 31 2013, 6:42pm | you can put me down for first aid. |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Nov 2 2013, 6:13pm | Hi Billy, The Powerscourt Uphill race, distance wise, was about 6k. The Powerscourt Ridge race is 15k. Very basically you are going to head for Maulin first and then on to Djouce by the route you used for the uphill race and back down to the Wicklow Way by keeping to your left at the top of Djouce and on to the finish. Ideally you should do a recce. Put a notice here on the forum and some others will let you know when they are going out to recce and you can arrange to meet them. Print off the course map from this site and bring it with you. |
| Paul Whyte | Nov 3 2013, 5:32pm | Hi, Some quick questions - 1. I have not registered this year (have been out of the country) and wondered is it ok to volunteer - Vivian do you still need volunteers? I will be a non runner. 2. Will there be mandatory kit requirement for the race? If so can you give details as to what is required? Thanks Paul |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Nov 3 2013, 10:34pm | Hi Paul, Thanks for the reminder about the kit requirement: Longsleeved rainproof running top Hat/Gloves Map/Compass Bumbag with biscuits or chocolate and water We'll see on the morning about what to wear in the race Also Paul I have sent you an email about the volunteering |
| suzanne Kenny | Nov 5 2013, 10:21am | Hi Vivian. Mags Greenan asked me to put her down here as a volunteer(non runner) also if needed :) |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Nov 5 2013, 7:57pm | Hi Folks, I have enough volunteers now so thank you all for putting your names down. If you could all be in Crone by 10am that will be fine. I have been in touch with the three Summit Marshalls to be in Crone at 9.45am Will let the rest of you know your duties shortly. Suzanne I have put Mags in. |
| Adam Perry | Nov 6 2013, 1:50pm | Hello all, I am over to visit family the weekend of the race and thought this race sounds great. Can I also attend and just pay 10 euros on the day to enter? Are you sorted in terms of marshalls etc? Thanks very much Adam |
| Dermot Murphy | Nov 6 2013, 8:18pm | Adam, yes you can just turn up on the day and hand over your tenner to race. Also, I think from his last post Vivian, is sorted for all volunteers, including marshals. |
| Brian O Murchu | Nov 11 2013, 7:02pm | Anyone going down from city centre and has a spare seat? The carpool section is a little bare |
| Jill Walker | Nov 11 2013, 7:47pm | Is it going to be possible to pick up the end if league prizes before or after tre race? Thanks. |
| Brian O Murchu | Nov 12 2013, 11:22am | Thanks for kind offers, lift now sorted! |
| Don Short | Nov 12 2013, 5:12pm | Can I get an early start, say 10:30? |
| Richard Nunan | Nov 12 2013, 7:26pm | Jill, I can confirm there will be a bag for you at the IMRA AGM Regards Richard |
| Gareth Little | Nov 12 2013, 10:24pm | I have 3 seats available for anyone travelling from Roundwood. I'll be leaving at 09:30 but please note I am hanging around for the AGM too. Thx |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Nov 13 2013, 6:53pm | Yes Don you can start at 10.30 - just remember to let me know when you are going. That goes for all early starters. If any early starters want to go sooner they can do so from 10am. Again let me know before you go. Some people are carpooling which is great. Can others please do the same. Cronewood car park is going to be full. Even if you meet in the Glencormack Inn car park and go from there. There will be a lot of walkers out on Saturday, as usual, so please make sure you give way to them. They have a right to be there as well as us. Lastly if you have run a mountain race this year - 2013 - you will have a race number. If you can't remember it please look up your race on this wedsite, write it down and put it in the car. It will save time at race registration. Heres to good weather and see you all Saturday. |
| Jill Walker | Nov 13 2013, 9:00pm | Thanks Richard about the bag. I assume that goes for anyone who is eligible for one? Planning to pick one up for Pauline Cleary too. |
| Paddy Darigan | Nov 15 2013, 2:37pm | can someone tell me that time Crone car park will be open on Saturday 16th for the race |
| John Condon | Nov 15 2013, 4:12pm | Paddy, They're open early enough. About 8am me thinks. |
| Paddy Darigan | Nov 15 2013, 8:30pm | Thanks John |
| Rory Hearne | Nov 18 2013, 3:09pm | Hi are there results for Saturday's race? Cheers Rory |
| Joan Flanagan | Nov 18 2013, 8:06pm | Hi, I left an orange wind proof at the start of the race on Saturday, I don't suppose anyone picked it up? Thanks, Joan |
| Paul Keville | Nov 21 2013, 12:50am | Will the results for this race be uploaded? |
| David Rouse | Nov 21 2013, 9:27pm | Another runner and I called into the Glencormac Inn after the run to collect our league prizes, however they weren't to be had when we were there. When can we collect them? Many thanks, David |
| Cillian Moffat | Nov 22 2013, 10:55pm | Was just wondering when the results will be put up aswell? Thanks |
| Thomas Moore | Nov 25 2013, 9:27pm | Anything on the results yet thanks |
| Desie Shorten | Nov 26 2013, 11:00pm | For god sake, will somebody answer these requests for results. |

| Pól Ó Murchú | Nov 26 2013, 11:34pm | Just got laptop tonight so apologies for the delay with the results. These should probably have been sorted on the day but such is life. There are a number of errors with the results file which I am working through at the moment. Don't know when these will be done but in the meantime the above will have to do. Let me know of any amendments that need to be made and I will do my best to sort. As I said apologies these weren't done before now. All the moaners will be queuing up to take on the role of laptop operator at the next race no doubt ;-) |
| Donal Troddyn | Nov 26 2013, 11:46pm | Pol, that was my fault. I'm sorry that you have been left with the results in the state they were. |
| Jarlath Hynes | Nov 27 2013, 12:08am | Thanks Pol (& everyone involved). Roll on 2014, well after RTL on Saturday. |
| Thomas Moore | Nov 27 2013, 9:46am | I thought I came in after torben , and also thought Diane came in just ahead of torben , that's probably wrong so if anyone else could shed some light on this. |
| Declan O'Dwyer | Nov 27 2013, 10:18am | Love the idea of having come 7th, but unfortunately I was a DNF. |
| Desie Shorten | Nov 27 2013, 10:45am | Its a pity to be called 'moaners' just for enquiring about results. IMRA have always been leaders in the field of publishing results very quickly so it was obvious that something was wrong and perhaps then a message could have been posted under 'Powerscourt Ridge'. However there was no message and the results are now up thanks to POL so lets leave it at that and move on. I do appreciate all the time volunteers give to put on these races and would never criticize any volunteer. |
| Mick Hanney | Nov 27 2013, 11:20am | Thanks Pol & co. Obviously Des won the long course so some short & long course results are still mixed? Can I ask was there technical reasons for the results upload delay? The results process used to be fairly straightforward. Maybe, just maybe, the introduction of enhancements to the system last year has made a previously simple process more complicated? For instance, in 2013 there seemed to be a requirement to get the laptop back to the results secretary after every event? This may be tied into the need to link the advance purchase of races to the database etc. There also seems to be an over-dependency on particular people to upload results, whereas this is probably something a Race Director or a skilled laptop person could do? Minor tweaks could help us as we face into 2014? |
| Declan O'Dwyer | Nov 27 2013, 1:53pm | As with the others, I'm not criticizing the volunteers at all. Just noting that similar length delays occurred in posting the formal results of Dublin Mountain High and Dublin Peaks. Again I don't recall this occuring before. Reiterating Mick's question, are there minor tweaks that could help avoid this in future. |
| Mick Hanney | Nov 27 2013, 2:47pm | And god be with the days when Eamonn Hodge used to do the Long Course ;-) |
| Cillian Moffat | Nov 27 2013, 11:06pm | Hi, I did the long course but my result isn't up there? I was number 1336 and it was my first race if that helps. Thanks again, Cillian |
| Alan O'Keeffe | Nov 29 2013, 11:18am | I was a DNF. Alan. |
| Eamonn Hodge | Dec 6 2013, 9:10am | Just for that Mick I'm going out to do a training run today! Hopefully we'll have some ding-dong battles in 2014! |
| Aideen Keenan | Dec 12 2013, 8:52pm | Just to let you know, the first three women in the long course were Diane, followed by Laura then Vanessa. I also know I was 4th. Think the ladies in between did the short course. |
| Mick Hanney | Dec 15 2013, 9:29pm | Looking forward to that Eamonn. Nice to see the official results up. Great result by the Legend that is Robbie Bryson to finish 4th on the day. |
