| Eamon Towey | Apr 25 2018, 3:58pm | Howdy all, any idea at what miles in the aid stations will be at, I know where the drop bags can be accessed, just checking on the other stops. Thanks Eamon |
| Robbie Williams | Apr 29 2018, 2:30pm | In answer to questions: Race breif will be emailed to all entrants in the next 24-36 hours. This will include details off cut offs, aid stations etc. PLEASE NOTE: REGISTRATION FOR ULTRA IS ON FRIDAY NIGHT 7-9pm In BALLYHOURA LUXURY HOSTEL IN KILFINNANES MAIN STREET! No sign in on the morning! Accommodation possibly still available as well as meal at Hostel. There will also be no more entries available for race and no transfer either. This makes it easier to manage as all work is carried out by volunteers. |

| Richard Nunan | May 6 2018, 12:15pm | Great event lads, first section of the ultra was a nice mud bath.. great to see a mini running festival in Ballyhoura. Thanks To Robbie, Tom, and the Munster crew. Mud in the Sun with cheesecake a great day out |
| Adrian Hennessy | May 6 2018, 8:10pm | Great organisation yesterday from the MMRA crew. Co-ordinating 4 races with different start times is a big undertaking. Fantastic spread as usual afterwards and the weather helped. Thanks! |
| Barry Drennan | May 7 2018, 4:16pm | Thanks Robbie and Co.! Brilliant race ... just wanted to say whoever marked out the course did an amazing job ... espically the small root along a muddy section had tape tied around it! That made me smile! |
| John McCann | May 7 2018, 11:16pm | Thanks to all the organisers for a superb event on Saturday. It was a tough going underfoot but great to leave the rain jacket in the backpack for the whole day. Totally agree that the marking was excellent, particularly on the first loop. One of the best events in the IMRA calendar! |
| Patricia Blackburn | May 9 2018, 6:45pm | Thanks everyone. Thankfully things went smoothly with only a few glitches,that only the organisers noticed!!!. It was combined effort from the RDs and all the volunteers as always an amazing bunch to work with..Big shout out to Linda Hynes who unwittingly put up her hand up at the A.G.M. to R.D. the event. Great job Linda.Glad you all enjoyed it and we got everyone home safely.. There was a lot of bags left lying around with bottles and energy bars etc. unfortunately we couldn't go through them all.I did manage to save a few specialised water bottles so please message me with description and we can see about returning them. Thanks again for all the nice comments. |
| Paul Croke | May 16 2018, 11:14am | A great race, perfectly organised and what weather, certainly made it much tougher on those steep climbs. I just realized I left my heavier Columbia rain jacket on a shelf just off the GAA hall. Doubt anyone picked it up ? would anyone have a number for them possibly might be worth a call at least. Thanks in advance |
| Neal McQuaid | May 25 2018, 10:22am | Hi, it took a few weeks longer than planned however, here's a little write-up on my first ultra with a little pre-amble story. Thanks to all involved, great fun (even with the self-inflicted wrong turn :)! https://www.nealmcquaid.com/personalblog/2018/5/6/the-ballyhoura-ultra-run-report |
