John J BarryAug 7 2015, 2:04pmCheck out MMRA Facebook page. Think they also have a page for loop the loop

Keith MulveyAug 14 2015, 10:50amHi, are entries closed now. It's not on the Purchase IMRA Products page. Cheers, Keith
Jarlath HynesAug 14 2015, 5:36pmHi Keith, any reason for closing registration this early (other than 'race is full')?

Are there a limited number of places? Just curious.
Paddy DariganAug 14 2015, 7:23pmis the registration closed? I cannot purchase online, also I think the difficult rating is incorrect as its rated as a 3
Jarlath HynesAug 14 2015, 9:10pmSorry Keith, I misread your post.

You were asking a question. ??
:)
Inigo AlanaAug 17 2015, 2:47pmHi, Is the half marathon full then? If so, is there a waiting list?
Brian FlannellyAug 17 2015, 5:03pmHi folks.
Entries for the Glen of Aherlow LoopDeLoop races on September 19th are NOT closed.
There is just an issue with IMRA online registration, the webmaster is aware and looking into it. The registration facility should be back up and running shortly.
Thanks for your patience.

Inigo AlanaAug 18 2015, 8:47amThank you, Brian. I've just signed up.
Helen WeirAug 30 2015, 5:19pmHi just wondering when this changed from the ultra to marathon for the league?
John J BarryAug 31 2015, 5:26pmHelen,

This question was asked before and I can't find it. But anyway, Robbie Williams answered that it was discussed at great length my MMRA and it was decided in keeping with the other two events in the long distance Championship that the Marathon be more suited to the Ultra. i.e.

Sat May 2 9:30 AM Ballyhoura Mountain Marathon BMM 1176m 42.00km 8
Sun Jun 28 9:00 AM Galtee Crossing GLC 1500m 32.00km 10
Sat Sep 19 10:00 AM Glen of Aherlow Loop De Loop Marathon Trail Run GAM 600m 42.00km 3

I can see why they came to that decision:

~42km, ~32km and 42km again is a nice balanced trio.
Deirdre O'RiordanSep 2 2015, 4:33pmI have a friend who wants to register for this but he's having trouble setting up an imra account. Who can he contact for help?
Michael McSweeneySep 3 2015, 9:36amDeirdre,
I had trouble with MYIMRA account last year. Pól O Murchú was very helpful in sorting it out. Pol.omurchu at imra dot ie

Eugene O'BrienSep 7 2015, 9:34amHello.
I'm new to IMRA events (this is my first one) what's the situation with water on the day.
Will there be stations or do i need to bring my own?
Michael McSweeneySep 7 2015, 10:57amEugene, I just checked the Facebook page.

Mark posted this up last week;
"We have 3 water stops around the 13.1 mile route so we are looking for volunteers to man these.Your job would basically be handing out water and encouraging the athletes on the day."

The carpark is right next to the Start/Finish line, which is handy if you want to leave a sports drink or gel by your car for the second or,God forbid, third loop.

Micheal.
Eugene O'BrienSep 7 2015, 11:14amMichael,
Thanks for that, I must follow the Facebook page.
I think the 2 loops will be enough for me:-)
Thomas KeeleySep 13 2015, 8:26pmHi at the moment I'm registered for the Ultra but hoping I can drop down to the 1/2 will that be OK. Thanks
Eoghan BrennanSep 15 2015, 11:14pmHi is the registration for the half marathon closed or is it full? I don't see it on MyImra.
Enda MaguireSep 16 2015, 11:52amFrom where does the marathon start? Is it from The Aherlow House hotel @ 10am?
Michael McSweeneySep 16 2015, 2:46pmEnda. If everything is the same as last year, all three events have the same Start/Finish line, at the upper end of the Top car park for the Aherlow House Hotel. 3 loops for the ultra, 2 loops for the marathon and one for the half. https://connect.garmin.com/activity/458680768
Enda MaguireSep 17 2015, 9:05amThanks Michael
