| Catherine Murphy | Jan 5 2016, 12:08am | Can I ask if entry for the Wicklow way ultra 50k or trail 25k is open yet? Or already closed? In which case I've missed this year boo. Can't find this info. Also..does either race carry any UTMB qualifying points?? Thanks in advance Cath. |
| Jeff Fitzsimons | Jan 5 2016, 12:22am | Hi Catherine, entry not yet open, so fear not on getting a place! I believe entry will open later this month. The ultra carries UTMB points. Jeff |
| Catherine Murphy | Jan 5 2016, 7:36pm | Thanks Jeff, oh boy! Still all to play for. Better start losing my Xmas flab and get some training in. Good stuff. |
| Juju Jay | Jan 6 2016, 9:05pm | Hi & happy new year.. Where we pay for the Wicklow way 51k ? Group of us doing it and would like to pay up to be sure on the list, Thanks |
| Tim Chapman | Jan 6 2016, 9:25pm | Juju, happy new year my good man. Pretty sure it's not opened yet. See above posts. Also think it will be open a while as they expect a good few drop outs Cheers |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Jan 6 2016, 9:33pm | Thanks Tim...yes JuJu entries will open later in the month as per Jeffs post above. |
| Colin Casey | Jan 6 2016, 10:18pm | Hi, Is there a limit on the number of entrants to WW Trail and Ultra similar to last year? Thanks |
| Eoin Keith | Jan 7 2016, 9:09am | Colin, the last time the committee discussed it the thinking was that there would be no limits this year. Our biggest logistical issue with numbers for these races is probably car parking. So if runners could car-pool as much as possible that would greatly assist us in trying to open up these races to as many people as possible. |
| Jason Kehoe | Jan 7 2016, 1:35pm | Hi All, Just a heads up that Easter is very early this year and if you were planning to go on the 8th annual Kerry Mountain Running Training weekend and were also interested in these great races that they clash. Nothing we can do on our end unfortunately as we need to run the trip every Easter weekend for it to work. You'll have great fun whatever you choose! Jason |
| Brian O Murchu | Jan 7 2016, 2:02pm | Oh no....to run or to race |
| olejniczak ala | Jan 20 2016, 10:04am | hi,any news about entry opening? i don't want to miss this one! |
| Agnieszka Pamula | Jan 27 2016, 8:00pm | Hi, How do I sign up for the race? I think entries should be open soon? |
| Noel Carr | Jan 31 2016, 1:44pm | Any word on entries for ww ultra/ Trail open now? If not where can this info be found? Missed out last year, don't want same this year.Thank you Folks Noel |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Jan 31 2016, 6:21pm | Is open now... |
| Brigita Lukste | Jan 31 2016, 7:28pm | I must be blind. Please tell me how to enter |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Jan 31 2016, 7:39pm | Purchase IMRA products. You will need to have a MyImra account and have registered for 2016. - I can see you have both so should see it there. |
| Mick Hanney | Jan 31 2016, 7:41pm | @Brigita, you need to register for a myimra account. Once you do and log on you'll see the option to purchase entry in the Purchase IMRA Products tab. |
| Noel Carr | Jan 31 2016, 8:26pm | Thank you Pol. Registered and all now. Hope there's still plenty if snow now Djouce's Lol. |
| Dermot Murphy | Jan 31 2016, 9:05pm | Remember for both the Trail and Ultra, that there is no cap on entries, so no need for a mad rush to get your entry in. Registrations close on March 20 (unless Pol or Elin say otherwise). STRICTLY NO REFUNDS OR TRANSFERS. |
| Donncha Walsh | Feb 4 2016, 1:08pm | Would anyone be up for doing a recce of this at some point over the next few weekends? Could meet at Johnnie Foxes and leave one car here and then drive another one out to ballinastoe and run back along the route? |
| Justin Dutton | Feb 5 2016, 5:23pm | Doing a recce tomorrow if it suits, leaving JF carpark around 11.30am. Approx 30km over into Crone and back. |
| Mike Casey | Feb 8 2016, 2:25pm | Hi All, How do I apply 2016 race voucher credit to register for the ultra? Thanks |
| Dermot Murphy | Feb 8 2016, 2:32pm | You cant use the race vouchers for the Trail or Ultra, as they are a different price to regular races. |
| Mike Casey | Feb 8 2016, 2:38pm | that splains it, I'll sign up through the link, thanks |
| Caitriona Nic Caba | Feb 9 2016, 3:38pm | Hi Dermot, I've been trying to register for the trail but it isn't appearing as an item for purchase when I log in, is it still open? Can I register by email? Thanks in advance, Caitriona |
| Donncha Walsh | Feb 12 2016, 12:37pm | Im having the same problem,is this a temporary issue or is the race full? |
| Dermot Murphy | Feb 12 2016, 1:56pm | We had a problem with parking - no parking is available at Johnnie Foxes. We temporarily shut down registration for both the Trail and Ultra until alternatives plans could be put in place. We have now have limited parking available to us close to the Crossroads at Glencullen which will cover the Ultra - so we have reopened entries for it. The plan for the Trail is to have parking at another location off the motorway - we are just finalising these arrangements and will reopen registration once it is all confirmed. I expect we will be in a position to reopen registration early next week, if not sooner. |
| Helen Weir | Feb 17 2016, 9:29am | Hi Dermot Just wondering if any update re entry for 25k, my hubby has entered already, and I was just about to when i saw below... Any news?? |
| Dermot Murphy | Feb 17 2016, 1:47pm | Hi Helen - just finalising parking arrangements - looking good and we should be in a position to reopen entries once everything is finalised - hopefully sometime tomorrow. |
| Eileen Rowland | Feb 20 2016, 8:04pm | Hi Dermot, just wondering if there is any update re entering for the Wicklow Way Trail ? Thanks |
| Cedric LeLoup | Feb 22 2016, 8:41am | Hello, I am French, I am living in Ireland, and I have few questions to register for the ultra trail. It's not the same process in France. To register for this race: - Must I take the IMRA Annual Membership before (obligatory)? - And register after for this race? - A club licencse is not mandatory? Thank you for your time. Cédric |
| Dermot Murphy | Feb 22 2016, 10:06am | Hi Cedric - yes, you need the Annual Membership. You can pay for the membership and registration at the same time. No - a club licence is not mandatory. |
| Thomas Maag | Feb 22 2016, 1:51pm | Hi Is there any option to avoid the sign-on @ Johnnie Fox's and go straight to Ballinastoe for the WW trail? Thanks Thomas |
| Brian O Murchu | Feb 22 2016, 1:56pm | Hi Thomas, Unfortunately not. Anyone not signed in cannot be recorded in the results |
| Ian Loughlin | Feb 23 2016, 8:36am | hi, Will there be more entries opened for the trail event, car parking still being finalised? tks ian |
| Dermot Murphy | Feb 23 2016, 9:32am | Entry for the Trail has just been reopened. We are still awaiting back on the parking details, but we have a back up plan in place in case this does not work out. With either option parking will be as follows for the Trail - parking will be a location just off the the M50 at Junction 15. Our first choice is to have parking at the Leopardstown race course - still awaiting confirmation from them. Otherwise we will be using the Carrickmines Luas stop (similar to the arrangement for the Annagh Hill race a few years ago). Please register and collect your number at this location. At the end of the race, there will be a shuttle bus running from the finish line back to the car park. Full details to be confirmed in due course. |
| Cedric LeLoup | Mar 1 2016, 9:41am | Hi, It's me again, so I am registered, and I have few questions again. What kind of shoes I 'll have to wear? Is it road? Mud? walkway? And where I have to go to the start? to the end, and there is a bus to come back to the start of the race? Thank you for your time, for your explanation. Kind regards |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 1 2016, 9:54am | Hi Cedric - trail shoes would be best - there is a variety of terrain - some road, with a good amount of hard packed fireroad and trail. There will be some grassy sections - but not a great deal. Which event are you doing - the Trail or the Ultra? This thread is for the Ultra (title needs to be fixed). For the Ultra, the start and finish is at the same place - the Glencullen Golf club - directions to be put on the events page shortly. The Trail begins at the halfway point - registration will be at Leopardstown race course. There will be busses provided to take you from registration to the start (strictly no parking allowed at the start) and there will also be busses from the finish back to Leopardstown car park. |
| Cedric LeLoup | Mar 1 2016, 10:38am | I am registered on the Wicklow Way Ultra, thank you. |
| Frank O'Regan | Mar 1 2016, 9:02pm | Good Q&A on the type of runner required. Going by the comment on firetrails, I'm guessing less aggressive trail shoes so? No mud? |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 2 2016, 8:58am | Certainly less aggressive trail shoes would be best. If the course is quite dry, you would probably get away with road shoes. But it certainly very wet at the moment (and probably a good deal of snow after last night). Keep an eye on the forecast on the days leading up to the race, and ask the question again on the forum if in any doubt. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 4 2016, 9:19am | Please note new registration location for 2016. Can we update the name of this thread to Maurice Mullins Ultra? Please note registration and finish is at the Glencullen Golf course for the 2016 event. STRICTLY NO PARKING AT JOHNNIE FOXES. The Glencullen Golf course is located on the race route - past the lights in Glencullen - a short distance from the crossroads. Please follow marshals directions on the morning. |
| Shane O'Malley | Mar 4 2016, 9:22am | Is registration for the trail and ultra open again. I am already registered for the trail so not sure if it not being on my list of available purchases is because of that. I have a few friends interested. Shane |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 4 2016, 1:14pm | Hi Shane - yes, registration is open again and will close on March 20th. |
| Shane O'Malley | Mar 4 2016, 3:53pm | Can you confirm where registration is for this event. The forum at https://www.imra.ie/events/forum/id/1327/ says it is at Lepardstown race course and that the bus picks us up there to bring us to the start. Shane |
| Brian O Murchu | Mar 4 2016, 3:57pm | Yes that is correct |
| Frank O'Regan | Mar 6 2016, 1:11am | Okay, its after getting a bit confusing now,as the previous poster is talking about the trail. On the Ultra event page, its stating Glencullen Golf course for parking and registration.Is this still correct? |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 6 2016, 2:00am | This thread should be for the Ultra only, reference to the Trail needs to deleted from the title of the thread to avoid confusion. Registration for Ultra - Glencullen Golf club. Registration for Trail - Leopardstown. The event details on for both are correct. Just stop posting about the Trail on this thread and use the other thread (which also needs to be made a bit clearer). |
| Stephen Brennan | Mar 6 2016, 2:27pm | Is parking for the ultra at Glencullen golf club? |
| Peter Grennan | Mar 7 2016, 7:48pm | Are there water stations on the ultra or is it totally self sufficient? Thanks in advance. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 7 2016, 8:36pm | Yes - parking is at the Glencullen gold club - please follow marshals instructions on the morning. There are water stations at Crone Wood (about 12k into the race) and the halfway point at Ballinastoe - and the Crone wood station will be there on the way back (about 38k into the race). When you register, you can also leave your own bag at either/both of these stations - just mark your own name clearly and indicate which drop point you want the bag to go to. I already have volunteers for both the Ballinatoe and Crone Wood. There may be a further water station at Curtlestown on the way back (5k past Crone wood) but this will depend on a volunteer coming forward to organise this. We have always had a station here, so I expect will also be one this year. I could do with a few running volunteers to come forward to help with registration and car parking. I could also do with some non running volunteers to help with marshalling and the finish. Thank you to those who have volunteered already. |
| Peter Grennan | Mar 8 2016, 8:15pm | Thanks very much for the reply. |
| Wayne Byrne | Mar 9 2016, 8:03am | Hi , will there be an early start (8.30) for the ultra. Thanks |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 9 2016, 8:22am | Hi Wayne - yes, there will be an early start at 8:30am. Please arrive in time if you intend to take this. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 14 2016, 11:12am | A quick reminder that entry closes on March 20th (this Sunday). Still looking for more volunteers (both running and non running). |
| John Kearney | Mar 14 2016, 3:10pm | If I have an entry for the trail and now feel I might be up for the ultra distance, who should I contact to make that change? Thanks |
| Brian O Murchu | Mar 14 2016, 3:15pm | Hi John, The event page says "strictly no refunds or transfers" so looks like you don't have that option:( |
| David Noone | Mar 15 2016, 1:28pm | HI, I have an entry for the ultra and id like to change to the trail. |
| Tom Hogan | Mar 19 2016, 2:00pm | Hi Trying to enter this as first race of the year, but when I go to purchase Imra products all that is there is yearbook. Am I missing something. Is there somewhere else I need to pay membership fee before races come up?? |
| Tom Hogan | Mar 19 2016, 2:01pm | Hi Trying to enter this as first race of the year, but when I go to purchase Imra products all that is there is yearbook. Am I missing something. Is there somewhere else I need to pay membership fee before races come up?? |

| Karen Devenney | Mar 19 2016, 2:30pm | Tom, you'll have to purchase annual membership first and then you should be able to sign up for events. I think this may have been temporarily disabled as a cut off for todays race but it should be available now. Let us know if you've any further problems |
| Tom Hogan | Mar 19 2016, 3:28pm | Sorted, thanks Karen |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 19 2016, 5:30pm | Tom - the system has detected that you don't normally do an ultra ;-) |
| Brenda McGinn | Mar 21 2016, 11:05am | Hi there, has entry for saturdays ultra closed. If so is there the option for entry on the day. Regards |
| Karen Devenney | Mar 21 2016, 11:13am | Brenda entry for this event closed yesterday evening. Unfortunately no entries will be accepted on Saturday |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 21 2016, 11:54am | There was a query on navigation on the Trail Thread - just reposting that bit here - please let us know if you have come across any problems with the way-marked signs. On the navigation side, there will only be a marshal were you leave the track up from Ballinastoe and onto the Wicklow Way. You are expected to be familiar with the route, or carry a map with you if you are not. Please follow the way marked signs. Thanks for pointing out damaged signs - if anyone is aware of damage down to the way marked signs - please post here to let people know. Please describe were the problem is and is it could lead to people going astray. |
| Nicolas Munoz | Mar 22 2016, 11:01am | Hi everyone, I have registered to Maurice Ultra but due to very bad flu, won't be able to attempt this race. @raceorganisation would it be possible to leave my place to anyone willing to participate? Race number :154. Thanks |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 22 2016, 11:04am | No transfer allowed. |
| Peter Grennan | Mar 22 2016, 1:26pm | A friend of mine was trying to register yesterday but the website was down and now it's too late, is there any way he can enter now? Thanks. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 22 2016, 1:27pm | No - entries closed on Sunday. |
| Peter Grennan | Mar 22 2016, 1:28pm | Ok |
| Jackie Toal | Mar 22 2016, 2:30pm | Hello, will there be a start list of runners? |

| Jackie Toal | Mar 22 2016, 2:54pm | Thank you Dermot. |
| Kevin O'Donnell | Mar 22 2016, 4:24pm | Hi, Couple of follow-on's from info above for Ultra: 1 Am I reading correctly that we can have 2 drop bags, one at Ballinastoe and one at Crone Wood? And are these then returned to Glencullen at end? 2 Checking if you know yet if there will be a water station at Curtlestown? 3. Planning on starting early at 8.30am start, is 8am okay to turn up for registration at Glencullen Golf Club or think need to get there earlier? Thanks. |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 22 2016, 8:02pm | Kevin, 1. As I understand it, they are drop bags - for nutrition purposes really - not race gear - so there is no expectation of such bags being returned. 2. Curtlestown usually has a volunteer - depends on a volunteer being available though. 3. Yes, you should be okay there. |
| Kevin O'Donnell | Mar 22 2016, 9:07pm | Thanks Mick, good to know. |
| Mike Casey | Mar 23 2016, 8:03am | Is the Lugnaquilla forecast from mountain-forecast.com a good indication of conditions on the route? |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 23 2016, 8:12am | I use www.yr.no Forecast for both Roundwood and Enniskerry looks the same. Forecasting rain currently for Sat. |
| Jean-Michel Travers | Mar 23 2016, 9:53am | hi all, any recommendations on trail shoes ? Still less aggressive despite rainfall forecast ? Can trails become very muddy in some place ? Thanks |
| John J Barry | Mar 23 2016, 10:58am | Inov-8 Trailroc or similar will be sufficient |
| Liam Cannon | Mar 23 2016, 12:08pm | Hi All, I'm starting to feel a little concerned about the lack of carpool options for this. I live on the north of Dublin, but can get myself to anywhere along the luas or dart lines (or anywhere within reach of operating bus services) on Saturday morning. I'll chip in for fuel and buy you a beverage of your choosing on the day. Thanks, Liam |
| Fergal Connolly | Mar 23 2016, 1:36pm | With 217 people signed up its going to get very busy on Djouce boardwalk. On the return leg anyone in the top 30 is going to face a good deal of traffic when they are climbing towards Djouce. Does the faster runner have right of way here? Or does the descending runner have right of way? (i.e., the faster runner should step off the boardwalk) |
| Fergal Connolly | Mar 23 2016, 1:38pm | Also, the trail/half runners will probably hit the same traffic. |
| Stephen Brennan | Mar 23 2016, 1:53pm | Excerpt from last year's discussion: Can you clarify the convention in relation to Ultra and Trail runners going in opposite directions along the boardwalk and the fireroad up from Ballinastoe. Richard Nunan Mar 16, 9:20pm From Dermot 2013 ...... The descending runner should get priority, so on the boardwalk this would mean the Trail runners giving way to the Ultra runners - but given the number of Trail runners v Ultra runners on this section, this may not be practical. The boardwalk is a bottleneck, especially so when you have runners going both ways at the same time. If the ground is dry, it should not be a problem for one person to go to one side, but it can be much harder to manage if the ground is very wet - the boardwalk is over boggy ground anyway. The best approach would be for all runners to go to their left if they need to go off the boardwalk. So one Trail runner going up, should give way to one Ultra runners going down by hopping off to their left, one Ultra runner meeting a group of Trail runner, hop off to their left. A sensible approach on the day would be needed. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Mar 23 2016, 2:08pm | Generally speaking the desending runner who is usually the faster vs the climbing runner has right of way but common sense and general courtesy to other runners must also prevail. |
| Fergal Connolly | Mar 23 2016, 2:22pm | Thanks lads |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 23 2016, 3:12pm | The IMRA President has supreme right of way :-) |
| Cedric LeLoup | Mar 23 2016, 3:49pm | Hi everybody, Just a question: Is there showers? I am registered on the ultra. Thanks |
| Jim Fitzharris | Mar 23 2016, 3:56pm | Mais oui Cedric. This is Ireland! "Mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain, heavy in places." |
| Jim Fitzharris | Mar 23 2016, 4:00pm | Dermot, I have put my name down as a volunteer for both events - can you please accept when you get a chance. Will do any job you want. I can do Curtlestown if necessary - I have water containers with taps and can buy disposable cups. Just let me know. jim dot fitzharris at smurfitkappa dot com |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 23 2016, 4:05pm | Hi Jim - would be great if you could do Curtlestown. Will be in touch - but if you have the water containers, you should be just about sorted. |
| Deirdre O'Riordan | Mar 23 2016, 4:22pm | As rain is likely on Saturday, I was hoping to have dry clothes in my drop bag at Ballinastoe. Will the bags be brought back to Glencullen? I wouldn't want to lose my gear. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 23 2016, 7:06pm | Deirdre, i would only plan to leave disposables at Ballinastoe. Its a place to replenish supplies. The bags aren't normally returned to Glen Cullen. Word of advise on the drop bags - make it look like yours - they can get mixed up or mistaken - There is more runners this year. Bigger risk. |
| Simon Monds | Mar 24 2016, 11:06am | @Liam Cannon, I should be driving up for the Ultra from the city centre, I can let you know this evening. I didn't put it up on the carpool as I probably won't be able to offer a lift back after the race (but with the trail finishing about the same time, you might be able to get a lift back). Simon 0872225742 |
| Liam Cannon | Mar 24 2016, 12:26pm | @Simon Monds That sounds perfect. My usual carpool buddy is running the trail, so I should be able to arrange a lift home afterwards as long as my legs don't fail me on the return journey, haha. You'll get me at 0876455417 |
| John Higgins | Mar 24 2016, 12:32pm | Dermot - Apologies, I only noticed I signed up for Ultra instead of Half. Can this be rectified at this stage? |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 24 2016, 1:51pm | John - email sent. |
| Cedric LeLoup | Mar 24 2016, 6:20pm | Hello, It's me again. Seriously, Is there any showers on arrival ? Thanks a million. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 24 2016, 6:48pm | No showers. Bring a can of deodorant. |
| Jason Dowling | Mar 25 2016, 11:39am | Hi Dermot, Will the bag-drop on the way out at Crone be available for the early starters in the Ultra? (or will we have to use Ballinastoe as our first re-fuel point)? Cheers, Jason. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Mar 25 2016, 12:32pm | Jason Dowling...what's this about early start??? You don't need an early start! |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 25 2016, 12:56pm | Dont expect the water station to be there at Crone on the way out - they might be - depends on how fast you are. Go with the regular start if you are happy about making the cut offs. |
| CaoimhÃn MacMaoláin | Mar 25 2016, 1:45pm | Can anyone tell me around what time approx. the leading ultra runners should be heading through Crone car park on the way out? Thanks. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 25 2016, 7:49pm | Caoimhan, the leading runners should take around 1 hours to get to Crone - so maybe get there for around 10:20am to make sure. |
| Caoimhín MacMaoláin | Mar 26 2016, 9:49am | Thanks Dermot. I'll be there. |
| Miriam Maher | Mar 26 2016, 5:35pm | Dermot, Richard and the rest of the excellent volunteers from to-day's WWU and WWT - thank you so much. Great event, loved my first WWU! Now....pretty please, I'm really hoping you have some form of lost or found set up for 'stuff' left at the Glencullen Golf Club as I've just arrived home and realised that I left my runners outside the club house...They would be the filthy pair of muck encrusted purple Hokas. Any joy? Thanks again for a great day out. Miriam |
| Jackie Toal | Mar 26 2016, 10:25pm | Thank you Dermot, Richard and all the marshalls for all the help and support throughout, extremely well organised and super race. Also like Miriam I also must have left my Hoka Mafate - Lime greenish colour, covered in muck now too in the golf club carpark. I was parked in the lower level car park, near to golf club building. If anyone noticed them would be great |

| Graham K. Bushe | Mar 26 2016, 10:31pm | Thanks Dermot and crew, another great day on the Wicklow Way. And despite the weather making its own addition to the challenges, I enjoyed my first attempt at this race. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Mar 26 2016, 10:54pm | Well done Dermot on a great day out. Tough conditions initially but settles a bit after halfway. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 26 2016, 11:46pm | Jackie/Miriam, I have those Hoka's. I also have a pair of Innov 8 Roclite 295's (size 7) and a pair of addidas trail runners (no UK size - 46 Euro). Hope everyone enjoyed the day - results should be up soon. |
| Ronan Hickey | Mar 27 2016, 12:40am | I'll buy those "Adidas Trail Runners - 46 Euro" Dermot. A bit heartless to sell them on so soon though isn't it? Sounded like another epic race today. Congrats to all the runners and volunteers. |
| Lillian Deegan | Mar 27 2016, 9:50am | Thanks Dermot, Richard and all enablers, I kept ye waiting unintentionally esp. Alan A and Angela - ye got saturated. Great to see ppl from the 4 provinces above. A struggle on the out for me. Meeting the returns by the Djouce shoulder, with too many slip slides, my back and me were shot, all I wanted was Ballinastoe and out. Meeting Paul Daly returning, he sorted me bothers. 36 mins later dizzy me hit B'stoe. Richard topped me bottles and back out, 10mins ish pre cut off - never have I been as tight time wise. Go go juice returned after JB and I could run. Body check complete this morn, only 3 notable sore bruises, an ankle from Spain that gave no trouble so alls not lost. I'm happy not seeing my time Dermot. No hassle at all ;) |
| James H Cahill | Mar 27 2016, 10:28am | Thank you Dermot and all the volunteers for a great event. Running into a headwind all the way out I was looking forward to the wind at my back on the return....... But it didn't seem to help at all! Funny how it works like that. Great day, great event, great organization, and the golf club was a super new site for parking, registration and finishing. Well done to everyone who raced in both the trail and ultra |

| Liam Cannon | Mar 28 2016, 7:28pm | With the dust settled and the leg-ache on the wane, I'd like to thank everyone involved with organising the ultra on Saturday. It was my first ultra and it was an all-round positive experience, despite the sometimes challenging conditions and the inevitable physical tribulations. The banter and provisions at the aid stations were second to none and there was plenty of great cameraderie and encouragement out on the course. Neil Garvey deserves a special mention for helping me through that tortuous final km- thanks! |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 28 2016, 7:28pm | I hope everyone has recovered at this stage and enjoyed the day on Saturday! The wind and rain made things difficult at times, but that makes it all the more satisfactory afterwards. I would like to thanks all the volunteers who helped out on the day - the race cannot happen without their help - thanks to Lindie, Richard and Brendan at the half way point, Mary and Diarmuid O'Colmain at Crone wood, Jim Fitzharris at Curtlestown, registration and parking - Martin, Graham and Justin, Jarlath and Angela (parking), Lillian, Richard (again) & Pol at registration, and at the finish - Roisin and Alan, with further help from Angela. Also thanks to members of the Mullins family for supporting the event this year - Fiona spoke before both the Ultra main start and the Half, and Maeve ran in the Half as well. Also thanks to Matt for providing the facilities at the Glof Club - it was great to have them. Hope you can all make it back next year! |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 29 2016, 10:23am | A couple of excellent race reports by Miriam and Denis in the race reports section - please take a look when you have a chance and relive the day! Please feel free to add your own report - they make for great reading and help in the preparation for future races. |
| Arabin Jones | Mar 29 2016, 5:03pm | Hi, I left a pair of runners at the front door of the golf club when I went in to get changed & forgot to pick them up. Would anyone have picked these up? A pair of orange asics? Many thanks, |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 29 2016, 8:24pm | I collected a pair of Asics trail runners before I left on Saturday - size 46 Euro - are the yours, Arabin? |
| Arabin Jones | Mar 30 2016, 11:14am | Thanks Dermot, I believe that's them. Its a pair of asics GEL-FUJI SENSOR 3 G-TX. What is the best way to pick these up, are you based in Dublin? Many thanks, |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 30 2016, 1:05pm | Hi Arabin - you can call me on 087 7445475 any evening. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 30 2016, 5:46pm | Would just like to add another well done to Dermot, Volunteers and the committee on the work done on this event this year and over the previous years. Its one of Irelands finest Ultras with record attendees both local and overseas this year. Its great to read the no-frills comments and how the reflect the IMRA ethos in the reports. The quality of athletes racing this year was one of the best we have seen to date, there was a fantastic ding dong battle at the front in both Mens and Ladies races. Huge well done to Eoin lennon and Dena Hogan on their wins. And of course a Well done to all the finishers , having made it to halfway in that weather its a tough battle to get from there to the finish line!! Hope you are almost recovered!!! |
