| Samantha Edgar | Jan 6 2018, 7:26pm | Is there any opportunity to enter this I am very disappointed I missed the entry? |
| John McCann | Jan 6 2018, 7:43pm | Hi Samantha, don't worry you haven't missed it. The entry won't open till closer to the race. Keep an eye on the Forums. |
| Jason Dowling | Jan 6 2018, 7:44pm | Hi Samantha, Entries for this race have not opened yet. The race isn't on 'til early April but when registration opens, it is usually flagged on this forum. Hope that helps, Jason. |
| Dermot Murphy | Jan 23 2018, 9:37am | Hi All, I have put name down as Race Director for the Maurice Mullins Ultra, and will help RD the Trail race too (I have left the RD for the Trail open for now). This will be my last year as RD for this race (10th year!). If anyone wants to RD the Trail race, with a view to RD the race in the future, please feel free to put your name down. I will be looking for volunteers over the coming months for both races - again please feel free to sign up as soon as you know you can commit to help on the day. Registration will open in around a month or so - Pol may be able to give a more approximate date - but we do not anticipate a cap on numbers at this stage. Any questions on the race, please just ask! |
| Mick Hanney | Jan 23 2018, 6:32pm | I'll line up the buses. Can agree nearer the time the location for the pick-up (leopardstown or other). I note the event details as of today as probably a cut and paste from last year. |
| Aoibheann Gaughran | Feb 8 2018, 2:36pm | Hello, can anyone tell me what the distance is to Crone Woods and Curtlestown carparks? Just wondering if I'd make the cut-off times there. I will have done Debra Half on St. Kevin's Way a few weeks beforehand (I did this in 2016 in 2:40), but my IMRA results to date are about 175-180%, back of the pack stuff. Whatcha reckon? |
| James H Cahill | Feb 8 2018, 4:33pm | Aoibheann the cut offs are at Crone Woods Car Park : 14:45 (2 hours 45) - 12.2km and Curtlestown Car Park : 15:30 (3 hours 30) - 17km. The cut offs are more relevant the the ultra runers on their way back and they should be no bother to you. |
| Rachel Cinnsealach | Feb 8 2018, 6:33pm | Aoibhinn, I am about the same as you or maybe a little slower depending on how much I've been training. The cut offs have never been a problem for me, so you'll be grand. That said they maybe a problem this year as I am doing a he ultra!! |
| David Madden | Feb 8 2018, 6:45pm | Hi Guys, I notice that entries for the Ultra have opened but the half hasn't yet, can you tell me when it does ? Thanks, David |
| David Madden | Feb 8 2018, 6:45pm | Hi Guys, I notice that entries for the Ultra have opened but the half hasn't yet, can you tell me when it does ? Thanks, David |
| Aoibheann Gaughran | Feb 8 2018, 7:09pm | Thanks Rachel and James, will give it a bash so. |
| Dermot Murphy | Feb 16 2018, 8:30am | Entries for the Maurice Mullins half are now open - entries will close on April 1st. |
| Conor O'Farrell | Feb 16 2018, 4:11pm | Hi Dermot I foolishly paid entry for the Ultra, assuming it was the entry for both. Can I use this entry for the half? Thanks Con |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Feb 16 2018, 4:15pm | Hi Conor, Pop me a mail and I'll make that switch for you this evening or over the weekend at some stage. |
| Richard Church | Feb 19 2018, 11:06pm | Hi Dermot/Pol. Could you remove the line from the Event Page stating "ENTRIES NOW CLOSED. STRICTLY NO REFUNDS OR TRANSFERS." as I've spoken to a few non-regular IMRA folk who were confused about whether the Half is closed or not. Thanks. |
| Eoin Lennon | Feb 21 2018, 7:29pm | Is there a link to enter this race as I can't seem to find where to do so? The 'IMRA Products' only has the Ultra as an entry option. |
| Eoin Lennon | Feb 21 2018, 7:31pm | Nevermind, found it! |
| Anthony Alexander | Mar 1 2018, 10:34am | The "Google Earth KML" link on the event description is broken. Can the organiser fix the link or someone provide an alternative KML/GPX file? Here is the current broken link: http://www.imra.ie/ad-hoc/WW_Trail_Ultra.kml I'd like to use it for navigating the route in advance of the race. I used to rely on Strava for finding other attempts and downloading the route, but they've recently disabled their search of other runners' activities. THANKS! |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Mar 1 2018, 1:18pm | The correct address should be: http://media.imra.ie/ad-hoc/WW_Trail_Ultra.kml Not sure that that is working either though...Drop me a mail and I can email over the file to you but the route may have changed slightly since then as this file seems to have been created in 2010. |
| Ronan McCarthy | Mar 7 2018, 11:36am | Hi, I am just wondering if i can switch from the Full to the Half (training has not gone well). I have purchased a full entry already so just seeing if I can jump across and do the half instead. Not worried about the tenner, can donate that to IMRA, just want to do a straight swap if possible. Thanks, Ronan |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 12 2018, 9:04am | UPDATE ON PARKING - parking this year will be at the overflow car park at Johnnie Foxes. Registration will be there as well, along with the buses to the race start. If the overflow car park becomes full, alternative parking will be at the Glencullen Golf Club (race finish will be here as well). Please ensure are registered by 11am at the latest (registration will open shortly before 10am), as you will have a 10 minute walk from the Golf Club to registration. Can I be accepted as race director? Once done, I can update on the race events page. |
| David Caulfield | Mar 12 2018, 11:38am | Hi, I tried to purchase an entry to the Maurice Mullins Half but it is not listed in the IMRA products. I'm guessing this means that it is sold out. Is there a waiting list this year and if yes can I have my name added to it please? Thanks in advance, |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 12 2018, 1:10pm | Hi David - no, its not sold out. I can see the entries to date for the Trail and you are on the list - are you sure you hadn't entered earlier? You are entered now anyway... |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Mar 12 2018, 1:22pm | Entries still open... |
| Ronan McCarthy | Mar 12 2018, 2:51pm | Hi, just wondering if it's possible to swap my Ultra entry for a place in the Half? Cheers, Ronan. |
| David Caulfield | Mar 12 2018, 5:05pm | Thanks for replies Dermot and Pol. Message on screen at time of purchase suggested my card hadn't processed. Obviously did. Looking forward to it. |
| David Caulfield | Mar 12 2018, 5:05pm | Thanks for replies Dermot and Pol. Message on screen at time of purchase suggested my card hadn't processed. Obviously did. Looking forward to it. |

| Dermot Murphy | Mar 22 2018, 1:03pm | PLEASE NOTE - ENTRIES WILL CLOSE ON SATURDAY MARCH 31, A WEEK BEFORE THE RACE. NO ENTRIES ALLOWED AFTER THIS CUT OFF DATE. I still need plenty of volunteers for this race. I have no volunteers for the checkpoints at either Crone Woods or Curtlestown - please note that there will be no aid stations at these venues if volunteers do not come forward. I also need non running volunteers to help with the finish. I will also need volunteers to help with registration and parking - these can be both running and non running volunteers. Also note that we have a limit of 100 mugs per event (both Trail and Ultra) - these will go to the first 100 to register on the morning. |
| Anne-Marie Flaherty | Mar 26 2018, 1:49pm | Hi Dermot I've put myself down as running volunteer for the half. Probably more suited to helping with whatever is needed at registration than with car parking. |
| Stephen Brennan | Mar 26 2018, 3:15pm | Is there chip timing for this race? I haven't been doing league races for a couple of years so haven't picked up a chip yet. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 26 2018, 3:30pm | Thanks Anne-Marie. Stephen - no chip timing for this race. |
| Laura Flynn | Mar 26 2018, 7:20pm | My son Eoin, 19, will come along with me on the day also Dermot to help. As he’s not an IMRA member he can’t volunteer on the race page so am letting you know here. If you put him with or near me. We can be there as early as you need. |
| Bill Halliden | Mar 27 2018, 12:51pm | If I buy the block of race tickets for €50 - can I use one ticket against the entry fee for the Maurice Mullins Half or is the fee for the race €20 irrespective |
| Mike Jordan | Mar 27 2018, 12:58pm | Online entry only. In the race instructions it says: NOTE - ONLINE ENTRIES ONLY FOR THIS RACE. NO REGISTRATIONS ON THE DAY. |
| Dermot Murphy | Mar 29 2018, 1:35pm | A reminder that registration closes on Saturday. Make sure you are registered before then if you want to run. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Mar 30 2018, 10:42am | Anyone looking to change course please see new forum post! Please add your details on this and I will sort once entries close! |
| Shane Colgan | Apr 1 2018, 8:45am | Folks, Just realised I missed registration deadline last night. Is there any lastminute entry route for the dim & disorganised...? |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 1 2018, 1:10pm | Sorry, registration is now closed. |
| Rory Leadbetter | Apr 1 2018, 7:26pm | I would also like to get in if there’s any chance of an entry. |
| Mick Hanney | Apr 3 2018, 8:46am | Just repeating Dermot's message earlier to please ensure are registered by 11am at the latest, so that we can get everyone bussed to the start in Ballinastoe in time. Please don't leave stuff on the bus. Only bring what you intend to run with. |
| Kevin Nolan | Apr 3 2018, 10:23am | Hi Dermot, Sorry I though I’d signed up for the 52k but I’ve just logged in and I must not have hit purchase - is there anything that can be done. I’ve done a few Recis so would hate to see all that training go to waste. Will be the first over 40's for me too!! Many Thanks Kev |
| Rachel O'Callaghan | Apr 3 2018, 11:39am | Is the Glencullen Golf Club finish line now called The GAP? |
| Brendan Lawlor | Apr 3 2018, 11:53am | Yes, its the Glencullen Adventure Park (GAP) now |
| David Pender | Apr 3 2018, 1:02pm | Hi,I have an entry for the half but unfortunately I've injured myself.there is a lad I know who is an imra member who wants to do it...how do I transfer it over to him? Thanks |
| Andy Clarke | Apr 3 2018, 1:11pm | Hi, all unfortunately I won’t be able to take part in the race ‘ I’m not sure if someone can take my place. Someone is more than welcome Andy |
| Beth Stephens | Apr 3 2018, 5:32pm | Hi there is the half sold out? I cant see it to buy |
| Laura Flynn | Apr 3 2018, 5:38pm | Registration is closed since last Saturday Beth |
| Rory Leadbetter | Apr 3 2018, 9:26pm | I missed registration. I’ll happily take Andy’s place if there’s any way that can be accommodated. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Apr 4 2018, 1:02am | Just a little video for those who may be wondering who Maurice Mullins was and where the name for this race comes from: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DjowOYmaVO8&feature=youtu.be Maurice was quite possibly one of earliest Ultra Runners in Ireland not just as a runner but also as an organiser and the original organiser of this race for a number of years before IMRA took over the organisation of it. Sadly Maurice passed away December 2015 and the following year it was decided to rename the race in his honour. I had the pleasure to meet Maurice a year or two earlier when we asked him to start the race - a truly remarkable man and an inspiration to those who knew him. |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 4 2018, 11:50am | Entry list for the Trail. This will include any changes requested on the Ultra/Trail switch thread. Please make sure your name is on the list - if not check to see if it is on the Ultra list. If you still cannot see it, please let us know. Please note - NO TRANSFERS TO OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED.

| Dermot Murphy | Apr 4 2018, 1:08pm | Hi Elizabeth - your name is on the Ultra list. So please clarify - do you want to do the Half? If so, we will move your name over. |
| Elizabeth Wheeler | Apr 4 2018, 1:38pm | Dermot, I checked my purchase history and see that I entered the Ultra which was my mistake, sorry. If you could move me to the half that would be great, thanks! |
| Cormac O'Ceallaigh | Apr 4 2018, 1:50pm | Hi Dermot, I paid and registered on the 16 Feb- can you double check your records and add my name.many thanks. Cormac |

| Cormac O'Ceallaigh | Apr 4 2018, 1:50pm | Hi Dermot, I paid and registered on the 16 Feb- can you double check your records and add my name.many thanks. Cormac |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 4 2018, 1:52pm | Hi Elizabeth - no problem, I have you now transferred over to the Trail list. |
| David Pender | Apr 4 2018, 9:16pm | Hi Dermot, Race number 158, I can't run as injured.can you take me off of the list please? Thanks, David Pender |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 5 2018, 2:28pm | IMPORTANT NOTE : Unfortunately, we have been forced to make changes to the parking arrangements for the Trail. Originally the plan was to have all parking at the Glencullen Golf Club and at Johnnie Foxes pub (overflow car park). However, due to the heavy recent rain, I received a call this morning to say that the field we had intended to use for parking at the Golf Club is not suitable (waterlogged). So we have now booked Leopardstown again and will arrange a shuttle bus back to Leopardstown at the end of the race - so basically back to the same arrangements as last year. So for Ultra - only parking arrangements have changed. We will be using the Overflow car park at Johnnie Foxes, and I am also trying to get additional parking up near the start (will provide an update on that tomorrow). Finish should be at the same place. Trail - parking is now at Leopardstown. Busses from there to the start line. Finish is the same, with a shuttle bus service in operation to bring people back. I hope to be able to arrange a Bag Drop for the Trail people - still need to iron out the details for this though. Please note - for parking at Leopardstown - please do not leave any valuables in the car. A few cars were broken into last year. We have booked additional security with Leopardstown this year - so there should be a security presence there all day, But please be cautious and do not leave anything valuable visible. |
| Conor O'Farrell | Apr 5 2018, 4:42pm | So are we registering in Leopardstown? What time do we need to be there at? |
| Ian Bailey | Apr 5 2018, 4:46pm | Hi, I'm not on the start list. Entered on March 12th, payment ID 14963. Haven't received my IMRA number either and paid for that at the same time. Both payments came out of my account at the time. Thanks, Ian Bailey. |
| Mick Hanney | Apr 5 2018, 6:05pm | IMPORTANT. As per Dermot's note, the parking is Leopardstown. There is a Map on this events tab which shows the car park location for those who may not be familiar from last year. Its south of the race course near the Carrickmines flyover. |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 5 2018, 6:10pm | Yes, registration is at Leopardstown from 9:45 to 11am. Ian, yes - was aware on that - Pol will have it sorted for you on the day. Same with the others who have mentioned a similar problem. |
| Kyle Petrie | Apr 5 2018, 8:04pm | Hello Dermot, I registered a few weeks ago for the race but did not receive an email or I don't see my name on the race list. Perhaps the payment didn't work or go through? my race number is 1293. Kyle |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 5 2018, 8:42pm | Hi Kyle - have passed that on to Pol - who is fixing a similar problem with several other people - should have you sorted for Saturday. |
| Bill Halliden | Apr 5 2018, 10:58pm | I am registered on the Ultra list but was looking to do the 25k route - my reg number is 1829 - can you switch me over please |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Apr 5 2018, 11:02pm | Regarding Half: Ian Bailey - Number 67 - on list now Rosanne Bell - Number 61 - on list now Elizabeth you entered the Ultra...best get training! - changed now :-) Cormac You also entered the Ultra - no bother to you! Can you confirm which you are looking to do? Kyle - no payment or attempted payment showing for you for this event. For the few others I have payment logs and completed transactions they just didn't get a race number which meant they weren't added to race list so doesn't appear that you purchased this event. A known issue but more of an admin nightmare than a case that we have no records of these events...You did get a number in January so this would not stack up as this error only affected those registering and buying an entry at the same time... |
| Chris Egan | Apr 6 2018, 10:48am | Appears on ultra forum a bag drop is organised from Leopardstown to finish line but nothing official. Is there any more information on this? Car |
| Chris Egan | Apr 6 2018, 10:48am | Appears on ultra forum a bag drop is organised from Leopardstown to finish line but nothing official. Is there any more information on this? |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 6 2018, 11:09am | Hi Chris - yes, there will be a bag drop from Leopardstown bag to the finish. Please try to keep the bag as compact as possible - any bags that are deemed too big will be turned away. The bags will be left near the finish line in Glencullen. |
| Greg Dillon | Apr 6 2018, 3:43pm | Hi, does anyone have .kml or .gpx of the route. the one on the site seems to be corrupt. thanks |
| Gordon Place | Apr 6 2018, 4:01pm | Greg, You can download the tracedetrail one through the ultra event page. Obviously the trail is the return leg only. |
| Neil Dobbs | Apr 6 2018, 4:19pm | Just to double-check... carpooling with Ultra runners and hanging out in Johnnie Fox's until the start is no longer an option, right? This doesn't even deserve a reply! /neil |
| Mick Hanney | Apr 6 2018, 6:11pm | @Neil - if you are sharing a car with ultra guys and park at Johnny Foxes, there will be some of the organisers driving down to Leopardstown to do the registration of trail runners, so I daresay you'll be able to grab a lift down there. I'll be hanging around the Ultra registration and will be heading to Leopardstown for instance. |
| James Higgins | Apr 6 2018, 8:25pm | Hi Dermot, I’ve picked up an injury so unfortunately, I won’t be able to race tomorrow. Best of luck on your long day and hope everything goes well. Best of luck also to all runners in both races. Enjoy it! |
| Conor Barry | Apr 6 2018, 9:37pm | Hi, first IMRA race tomorrow (half). Should I have received an actual number in the post to pin onto my shorts/shirt or do I get one at start? Thanks, Conor |
| Mick Hanney | Apr 6 2018, 9:52pm | New runners collect their race no. at registration to wear in the race and in other races throughout the year. |
| Conor Barry | Apr 6 2018, 9:55pm | Great thanks |
| Neil Dobbs | Apr 7 2018, 7:30am | @Mick. Thanks. UltraShane is skedaddling afterwards it turns out, so that option is gone now anyway. Cheers. Good luck all! |
| Pádraig Doyle | Apr 7 2018, 9:43pm | Thanks very much Dermot and crew... another great Maurice Mullins day. |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 7 2018, 9:52pm | Preliminary results for the Trail. The guys are probably partying away at the social now, so might be a couple of days before they are up on the site.

| Aoibheann Gaughran | Apr 7 2018, 11:06pm | Thanks so much everyone, that was deadly! |
| James Curran | Apr 8 2018, 9:27am | Fantastic organisation, great day out. Thanks to Dermot and all the volunteers. |
| Neal McQuaid | Apr 8 2018, 9:53am | Thanks to all the organisers, great day! |
| denis beakey | Apr 8 2018, 1:26pm | Lost: left blue hat and rab gloves on coach to the start. Pm if you find same please. Thanks to all who volunteered. Superb event. |
| Mary Collins | Apr 8 2018, 5:13pm | Thanks Dermot and all your volunteers for organising yet again another successful ultra/Half trail event. Well done also on the last minute reorganisation of the shuttle bus start location. Mary Collins |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 8 2018, 6:13pm | A note of thanks copied from the Ultra Thread: Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped out on Saturday - they are all essential for a race like this to happen. I would also especially like to thank all the runners who stopped and helped the injured runner - Sarah - when she had her bad fall. Mountain rescue were called to the scene and were able to come to her aid in a timely fashion and help her off the mountain (it happened on the stoney path heading down towards the Dargle). I hope you recover soon, Sarah! There is a long list to go through - apologies in advance if I miss anyone! Many thanks to Pol, Richard and Mick, and others on the Committee who helped with a lot of the backround work on the lead up to the race. The lads also helped out a lot during the day as well, finding time to get their own races in (or part races!) At the aid stations - Lindie (who has been involved with this race a lot longer than I have!!) and Emma at Ballinstoe. Vivian is marked and marshaled the section at Lough Tay were the course leaves the Wicklow Way and heads down to the Turnaround point. Paul and Jeff were at Crone Wood (and helped as much as they could with Sarah). Jim and Mark at Curtlestown. At the Ultra car parking, we had Graham, Brendan, Alistair and Laura. At Ultra registration, we had Pol, Paul Mahon, Stephen, Colin, Gordan and Angela. At Trail parking we had Paul O'Callaghan, Aidan and Tommy - special call out to Tommy and Paul who organised the drop bags back to the finish. At Trail registration, we had Anne-Marie, Niamh and Bronagh. At the finish, we had our two time records Jarlath (Trail) and James (Ulttra) who did great work on getting the times recorded - this was especially challenging when we had all that unforecasted rain for the first hour or so. Also helping at the finish were Inigo (marshal at final turn off), Brian (who decided to help out when he realised he could not run himself) and Laura (who helped sort at the confusing markers and cones near the GAA club - I think those markers and cones were just to stop cars parking at the bus stop (Bus Eireann Bus Stop) and had nothing to do with our race). Patrica and Julie also helped out with food, water etc at the finish line. Lindie and Vivian also came back to the finish to put in further stints there. Becky Quinn was our first aid person for the day and was at the half way point for a time and then back at the finish. Thanks also to Leopardstown race course for parking and Alpine Coaches for the buses - they really came through when we needed last minute changes to car parking arrangements on Thursday. Again, apologies if I have left anyone out - there were also plenty of people out supporting all along the route. I hope everyone enjoyed the day - you can thank all the volunteers for that! |
| Paul O'Callaghan | Apr 8 2018, 7:17pm | A few other people worthy of mention are Fiona Mullins, who traveled up from Kerry, and got to go home with a Maurice Mullins Mug. Also Brian and Julie Byrne who left Kerry at 4am yesterday morning, at 71 years old Brian (who has represented Ireland at European and World level)was competing in the race, while Julie (taking a day off her own running) had a car boot full of sandwiches for the finishers. |
| Dermot Murphy | Apr 9 2018, 1:24pm | Please feel free to add a race reports - thanks to David Power, who has already done so. It's always great to read these and to have a record of the day for future years. To add a race report, log on to myIMRA and go to the results page, you should now see an option to add a race report. |
| Caroline Bidet | Apr 21 2018, 12:14pm | Thank you for letting me finish the race and sorry for keeping the organisers waiting. I broke the record of the longest time I guess but I am proud to have finished, and that was thanks to your patience organisers and volunteers. Both the Coca-Cola at Crone car park and the water at Curtlestown were life savers, and the support at the end of the race. Also thanks to Tony O'Toole who waited for me and encouraged me for the first part of the race and who could have done a much better time if it was not for his kindness :-) . I will train better for next year and hope to improve my time! |
