| Martin Bagnall | Jun 1 2016, 4:43pm | Hi All, I've updated the instructions for this race. Please read them! Thank you to those who have volunteered already. I still need a race marker, laptop operator and a couple more non-running helpers. Please volunteer if you can. Cheers, Martin |
| Henny Brandsma | Jun 2 2016, 11:53am | Hi Martin,I still have the markers after last night's race,you or whoever's doing the marking can pick them up from my house,at 10 Grainger manor road,Rathfarnham,near Nutgrove shopping centre,you can contact me at 087-7604825. Henny. |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 2 2016, 12:31pm | Thanks Henny - would Monday or Tuesday suit to collect them? Great job yesterday by the way - well done to yourself and your team. |
| Henny Brandsma | Jun 2 2016, 2:36pm | Hi Martin, just call when your collection markers. Cheers Henny |
| Ian O'Kane | Jun 4 2016, 2:26pm | Apologies but I had to unvolunteer.I'm still getting over my sprained ankle from Scarr. |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 5 2016, 5:18pm | No worries, Ian, I hope you are better soon. |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 5 2016, 5:25pm | Hi Everyone, Just a reminder that there is a NPWS limit of 200 runners for this race. Judging by last year's race we should be fine with that limit but please be aware that it will not be possible to exceed that number. So please avail of the online preregistration or arrive early on the night to avoid disappointment. |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 5 2016, 5:31pm | Also, I'm still looking for a race marker! This is a fairly straightforward route to mark so please do volunteer if you have experience of this role. Alternatively, do any of those who have volunteered as helpers have experience of race making and would like to cover it? Cheers, Martin |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 7 2016, 9:50am | Hi, I have enough general volunteers now, thanks to those who have volunteered - I will email you later. However, a race marker is still needed - this role is essential to allow the race to go ahead!! Thanks, Martin |
| Jim Corbett | Jun 7 2016, 11:21am | Hi Martin, I've just unvolunteered myself for tomorrow evenings run. Sorry the late notice. I'd forgotten I'm off to to see Candi Staton in the Sugar Club tomorrow night. I'll be thinking of you all running when she's singing "Young Hearts Run Free"! Once again sorry. |
| Peter O'Farrell | Jun 7 2016, 11:27am | Hi Martin. I have volunteered to mark the course. The young hearts should run free but a marked course probably puts less strain on the mountain rescue lads :) |
| Brian O Murchu | Jun 7 2016, 12:10pm | Going to be at Sorrell Hill and want to collect the latest IMRA yearbook? If you purchase online by lunchtime Wednesday, it will be ready for collection at race registration! |
| Henny Brandsma | Jun 7 2016, 2:05pm | Hi Peter,I have markers still at my home,if you need a hand marking course,let me know,in that case we could meet at Sorrell hill,so give me a time and we could meet there,I like to run the race tough,if that ok with you. Henny. |
| Sarah Brady | Jun 7 2016, 2:13pm | Hi! I've volunteered as a helper for this race. It's my first time volunteering, so just wondering is there anything you want me to bring and what time shall I pop along? Thanks. :) |
| Brian O Murchu | Jun 7 2016, 2:25pm | Bring your camera for the action shots! |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 7 2016, 2:59pm | Thanks very much for volunteering Peter, much appreciated. Henny, I tried to contact you yesterday about picking up the markers but wasn't able to. If it works for you and Peter to meet and mark the course then that'd be great - just let me know. I have the rest of the race kit so I'll bring that along tomorrow. Sarah - I'll be sending an email out to all volunteers today with more info - it would have been earlier but work is quite busy today! If you are there for 6 that'd be great, thanks. |
| Sarah Brady | Jun 7 2016, 3:19pm | That's grand – thanks Martin, see you then! :) |
| Henny Brandsma | Jun 7 2016, 3:47pm | Hi Martin,Peter just phoned me and we will take care of the race-marking,I am planning to run the race with the early starters so will be coming back at race start before seven. Henny. |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 7 2016, 4:22pm | Great, thanks very much. |

| Michael Butler | Jun 7 2016, 7:00pm | Hello Martin, two friends who are registered missed the online cut off time for entry. I assume they can turn up tomorrow and use Imra vouchers that I have. |
| Brian O Murchu | Jun 7 2016, 7:07pm | Vouchers are transferable, so once someone has already registered for the year they can show up with a voucher and sign in for the race |
| Fergal Downes | Jun 7 2016, 7:15pm | Hi I've just realised that I have missed the deadline for online registration. Would anyone have a spare voucher to trade for €7 tomorrow evening? It would be much appreciated. thanks |

| Martin Bagnall | Jun 8 2016, 9:57am | Hi Paul, Thanks you for volunteering. However, I have enough volunteers and have assigned out roles. There are plenty of races coming up which need volunteers so please take a look and sign up for one of those. Cheers, Martin |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 8 2016, 10:08am | RUNNERS: Don't forget to bring your race number and race voucher/online registration confirmation. Don't forget water, sun cream, bug spray. Don't forget your jacket!! It's for your safety and as mentioned in https://www.imra.ie/forum/topic/id/4271 there will be increased spot checks. No jacket will result in a DNF. |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 8 2016, 11:34am | EARLY STARTERS: The early start time is 7pm. As mentioned in https://www.imra.ie/forum/topic/id/4271 the early start is only available for those who usually are 160% or more of the race winner. If you are taking the early start ensure that you let the people at the sign in desk know. |
| Deirdre O'Riordan | Jun 8 2016, 12:03pm | Hi...long shot but would anyone have a voucher to spare for tonight? |
| Miriam Maher | Jun 8 2016, 12:15pm | Hi Dee, I can give you a voucher, come and find me at the laptop when you arrive and I'll sort you out. Miriam |
| Deirdre O'Riordan | Jun 8 2016, 12:29pm | Thanks so much Miriam, that's great!! See you later |

| Brendan Lawlor | Jun 9 2016, 7:54am | Well done and thank you to Martin, Brian and all last nights volunteers- the weather gods have been smiling lately on us |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 9 2016, 10:19am | Many thanks again to my team of volunteers who all did a wonderful job which included a debut outing for Alice on first aid and first time volunteering for Sarah & Stephen. Thank you also to Vivian for his assistance with this race, much appreciated. Well done to all who ran and in particular to James Higgins on his 300th race and James Hundred Cahill for joining Club 100! |
| Alan Kilbride | Jun 9 2016, 11:37am | Hi, Big thanks to everyone for an amazing race last night. Here is last nights route for anyone who's interested... https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1204848484 Cheers! |
| John Langenbach | Jun 9 2016, 1:59pm | Alan now that you've drawn attention to your excellent performance, I think you can probably take the regular start from now on. (Thanks Martin and team!) |
| Lillian Deegan | Jun 9 2016, 2:15pm | Hi Martin, Well done with last evening's run out, ye had a smasher of an outing on the other side of the hill while the coastal side of the county was dealing with super low cloud cover. Fingers crossed next Wednesday allows for another sunny one for Djouce. Might I enquire on the gear collection Jazz. I'm in to RD next week. Tia Lillian |
| Martin Bagnall | Jun 9 2016, 3:07pm | Hi Lillian, Liam Vines took the race kit to pass on to Jeff Fitzsimons for the Wicklow Way race at the weekend. Miriam has the laptop as it's not needed for the weekend and she's doing laptop operator for Djouce. Good luck with Djouce, hopefully this good weather will hold. Martin |
| Lillian Deegan | Jun 9 2016, 3:20pm | Lovely stuff. Will collect from Jeff in Clonegal Saturday night so. Thank you. |
| Karen Devenney | Jun 9 2016, 7:05pm | Guys, please remember that everyone can have an unexpected (and most welcome) above average performance on a particular night! We're not going to penalise a runner who takes a justified early start based on previous performances and then finishes slightly above 160%. Our aim is to enforce the early start policy as fairly as possible but in the spirit of the ethos that makes IMRA such a fantastic organisation:) |
| Laura Flynn | Jun 9 2016, 9:58pm | Well done Martin on an excellent job last night and for a thoroughly enjoyable race |
