| Laurence Briody | Feb 3 2017, 11:34pm | Hi Aidan Entry normally opens when the race before in the same league has been run. Brockagh brust is on the week before. |
| Aidan Egan | Feb 6 2017, 10:05pm | thanks laurence..i see its up there now...i see theres an option for 5euro and 7euro..i went with the 5euro .. is that ok? |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 7 2017, 7:55am | Hi Aidan the 5e is for a replacement chip. You need the 7e option. I will find out what can be done to sort it for you... |

| Laurence Briody | Feb 7 2017, 9:45pm | Hi Aidan the 5e will be refunded and you can purchase the 7e. |
| Aidan Egan | Feb 8 2017, 9:40pm | great stuff..thx for your help.. |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 9 2017, 10:32pm | Hi all i.m looking for a laptop operater and a few more helpers please. We are also running a shorter race for the juniors and youths who want to participate.. |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 13 2017, 10:32pm | Hi everyone we are having an early start for anyone who feels they are not able to complete in 1hour 45mins. The early start is 11.30. The short route is for juniors just under 5k. Still looking for laptop operater. Registration opens at 10.30 and closes 11.30 sharp... |
| Elisa Rodrigues | Feb 15 2017, 2:58pm | Sorry, where could I subscribe-me for this running MULLAGHMEEN 10 K RUN? Because, I don`t living here... So, 1) Could I run? 2) How much I have to pay? And Where? Thanks, Elisa |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 15 2017, 3:18pm | Hi Elisa Yes you can run these are tough hill races. You need to register on this site as an Imra member first for 10e. This allows you to entry as race on the Imra calendar for the year. Then you entry each race separate for 7e.. Let me know where you are coming from and i will try and help you. |
| Alan Kilbride | Feb 15 2017, 3:49pm | Hi there, I have a % of winners time of greater than 165% on average over my last 10 runs. Am I ok to do the early start if I can make this race? Thanks, Alan. |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 15 2017, 4:02pm | Yes Alan you can do an early start. Early start is 11.30. Be there earlier for signin... |
| Catherine McCourt | Feb 15 2017, 5:05pm | Hi, I joined IMRA this week and entered for Mullaghmeen, should I receive my number and chip in the post or will I collect it on Sunday? |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 15 2017, 5:27pm | Hi Catherine you can collect at signin from 10.30 sunday morning.. |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 15 2017, 5:27pm | Hi Catherine you can collect at signin from 10.30 sunday morning.. |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 15 2017, 5:38pm | Hi Catherine you can collect at signin from 10.30 sunday morning.. |
| alan hall | Feb 16 2017, 7:52am | As far as the early start is concerned, can anybody start early? I have 'important business' to do in the afternoon and the early start would suit better than a 12 start. Are the finishing times all taken together? I would be hoping to finish in under an hour. Cheers Alan |
| Gordon Place | Feb 16 2017, 9:17am | Hi Alan, I think the early start is only for people with average times over 165% of the winning time, you don't sound to be in that category if expecting to finish in under an hour? You would also have the advantage of a clear run with no traffic? I |
| Gordon Place | Feb 16 2017, 9:18am | Hi Alan, I think the early start is only for people with average times over 165% of the winning time, you don't sound to be in that category if expecting to finish in under an hour? You would also have the advantage of a clear run with no traffic? I |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 16 2017, 11:25am | Hi Alan. Gordon is correct early start only for average times over 165%. Still looking for laptop operater... |
| alan hall | Feb 16 2017, 1:24pm | Thanks for the reply lads. First year in IMRA. I did think there were some restrictions alright! Learning as I go. Great events so far, BTW!! |
| Gill McLoughlin | Feb 16 2017, 6:29pm | Hi Laurence, i am down as a helper on Sunday and see you still need a laptop operator. It will be my first time volunteering at an IMRA event, but if no one else steps forward and someone wants to train me in on the system i'm happy to give it a go.... |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 16 2017, 7:01pm | Hi Gill. At the moment we dont have anyone. I shadowed in hellfire so if can't get anyone was going to do it myself.I not 100% sure on all.If someone steps up we'll try bring you upto date on it and some more for me.. see you sunday thanks Gill.. |
| Miriam Maher | Feb 16 2017, 8:05pm | Hi Laurence/Gill, I am heading to Mullaghmeen but won't be there early enough to set up laptop. I can give you a dig out when I get there (11ish) and a crash course in how to set it up. Will help out at the end in finishing off the results when I get in. If Laurence knows a bit about it already from shadowing it, we should be able to work it out all together. The far better option would be to have just one person doing the whole thing. I'll be doing laptop for other races coming up, wanted to run this route. Anyone out there feel like getting their volunteering in nice and early?! Anyway - that's your plan B if nobody steps up in the meantime. Miriam |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 16 2017, 8:52pm | Thanks miriam. I just not sure how to start and finish. You can run since your planing on coming down. I try getting started and you can help me before and after race. Any tips appreciated.. |
| Miriam Maher | Feb 16 2017, 9:09pm | Hi Laurence, just sent you a msg through Facebook with my email, we can sort out the details ahead of Sat that way. |
| Laura Flynn | Feb 17 2017, 7:56am | Unfortunately I'm not going to make this race on Sunday now. Would someone Dublin-based be able to take the gear back and I will arrange to collect from you Tuesday and deliver to Peter and race markers for Ticknock race. |
| Caroline Reid | Feb 17 2017, 9:28am | Hi Laura, I am heading to Moylagh Saturday night, so I could collect from you this evening or tomorrow and deliver to one of the race organisers Saturday night / Sunday morning if this helps. Just drop me an email to reid_carrie@yahoo.ie if this helps. |
| Laura Flynn | Feb 17 2017, 10:27am | sorry Caroline but what I want is someone to take the gear back to Dublin after Mullaghmeen.Laurence already has it for Sunday. |
| Jim Fitzharris | Feb 17 2017, 10:38am | Laurence, You were with me on the laptop at Hellfire. Can you please email me directly: jim dot fitzharris at smurfitkappa dot com and I can send you a few notes on the laptop that I prepared myself and could be useful. Do you have access to MS Access on a PC? If so, I can send you a test database to play with. Cheers, Jim. |

| Jody o Reilly | Feb 18 2017, 4:06pm | Hi is it possible to still enter this race |
| Jody o Reilly | Feb 18 2017, 4:06pm | Hi is it possible to still enter this race |
| Naoise O Gibne | Feb 18 2017, 4:13pm | Hi Ian Just wondering will you be passing through Navan on your way to the race in Mullaghmeen? If so would I be able to get a lift off you? Regards Naoise |
| Naoise O Gibne | Feb 18 2017, 4:29pm | my phone number is 0857651020 Naoise |
| Naoise O Gibne | Feb 18 2017, 4:31pm | I wont have access to the internet between today and tomorrow, so would it be possible for you to text me if your heading through Navan. RegardS Naoise |
| Jody o Reilly | Feb 18 2017, 6:04pm | Hi ,does any one know is it possible to register for this run |
| Jason Dowling | Feb 18 2017, 6:21pm | Hi Jody, If you have not already registered for IMRA in 2017, then you will not be able to partake in the race tomorrow. Also, even if you have registered, the online registration for tomorrow's race is already finalised so that option is won't be available. From your post, I'm assuming that you don't have the vouchers that can be used for race registration, so your only option, assuming that you have registered for 2017 is to turn up at the race tomorrow and ask someone to sell you a voucher for the race. Hope that helps, Jason. |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 18 2017, 7:14pm | Can all volunteers be in the carpark for 10.15 please... |
| Jody o Reilly | Feb 18 2017, 7:36pm | Thanks,I only registered with imra today,looks like I'm out of luck for tomorrow |
| Andrew Reilly | Feb 18 2017, 9:05pm | Hi, I'm on the look out for a voucher for Mullaghmeen in the morning. Anyone have one? Andy |
| Jon Finn | Feb 19 2017, 4:39pm | Great event today ... thx to all for making it happen and St Brigid AC for post race treats... ! |

Sorry for the delay in results a few errors with the laptop on my behalf.

Lesson learned.. |
| Stephen Roe | Feb 19 2017, 7:07pm | Hi Laurence, A big Thank You to all in St Brigid AC, Great Hosts, & the Hospitality after the run was incredible. A challenging course, well done organisers & volunteers... Stephen #bravo20_roe |
| Aidan Egan | Feb 19 2017, 9:37pm | well done to all at mullaghmeen ... great event |
| Miriam Maher | Feb 20 2017, 8:17am | Hi Laurence, super event yesterday. Thanks so much to you and all from St Brigids AC for everything. Great route - so good that Caroline and myself went back out for more ;-) Very well organised, you played a blinder! Photos tell the tale of the cruel last climb....have to get back to the forest for the much talked of bluebells show in another month or so. |
| Derek Kellett | Feb 20 2017, 8:37am | Loved that, thank you |
| Caitlin Bent | Feb 20 2017, 1:04pm | Congratulations on a wonderful Roller Coaster Ride course through Mullagh Meen Woods. yesterday. Well done all! |
| Karen Devenney | Feb 20 2017, 8:28pm | Well done to Laurence & co on a great race yesterday and thanks so much for the great spread afterwards! Results are now up....any issues (I expect there might be a few), drop me a mail at karen.devenney at imra dot ie |
| Derek Kellett | Feb 20 2017, 8:49pm | Karen, can you tweak the results, I was one of the early starters (106) |
| James Higgins | Feb 20 2017, 10:16pm | Excellent show by the good people in St Bridget's AC. Thank You! You never go wrong with an athletic club organising a race. That was a tough course. I was under the impression that this would be a trail race around a forest. Was I way off the mark. Some serious ascents and descents and for anyone who wants a serious mountain run put it into the calendar for next year. |
| Gavan Duffy | Feb 20 2017, 10:23pm | What a super trail run. Very well organised. A big big thank you to all involved. could you leave the markers up for a few weeks, I want to do that circuit again? :-)). |
| alan hall | Feb 21 2017, 6:07pm | Great event on Sunday. Thanks to st Bridget's AC for the post race treats. Just wondering if there is an external website for the photos taken at the event. I know I saw a few cameras out and was wondering where people go to see them if they're not up here. Thanks Alan |
| Aidan Egan | Feb 22 2017, 8:02pm | i second that earlier comment, be great to have some of the markers left up ...will be up again, would love to bring a few buddies around the course |
| Laura Flynn | Feb 22 2017, 8:22pm | im really sorry to have missed what sounds like a fantastic race so well done to Laurence and his team. Unfortunately one of the conditions of our Coillte permit is that we remove all markings and litter which is understandable. Maybe there's a case to be made to them to have a permanent marked trail laid out for runners in the same way as there are permanent orienteering courses in some parks? |
| Laurence Briody | Feb 22 2017, 10:45pm | WOW super comments glad ye all enjoyed our new roller coaster route as Caitlin called it.. We run the route and more sometimes on a Sunday morning around 830 and an odd friday evening at 8 all welcome anytime. Laura i might touch base with coillte about new routes there is lots more in Mullaghmeen. Alan lots of photo on St Brigids Facebook page. Thanks again to all. Come see the blankets of bluebells in a few weeks.... |
| Caroline Reid | Feb 24 2017, 4:22am | Really great race...thanks to everyone involved! PS don't forget the primroses as well as the bluebells in a few weeks - just magical...well worth a return visit! |
