Eileen KeohanAug 31 2018, 9:40pmHi there,
I'm sorry to trouble you, I didn't cop that there was a newer deadline for the Glen of Aherlow Ultra. Just wondering if it's still possible to enter?

Robbie WilliamsSep 1 2018, 10:57amCongratulations to all those entered this year.
Due to a large number missing the entry time we will re open registration on Monday from 9am to 11pm
****There will however be no t-shirts available for these late reg runners as order has gone to supplier at this stage.
Eileen KeohanSep 3 2018, 1:52pmThanks a million, delighted to be able to enter but such a pity about the t-shirts.
Eileen.

Barry HartnettSep 6 2018, 11:26pmSorry Mark, there’s not, the registration was already extended to facilitate people who missed the cut. Plenty of volunteer spots going though.
Lukasz BugajskiSep 8 2018, 4:24pmIs there a time limit in this race?
Barry HartnettSep 8 2018, 5:44pmHi Luckaz,

For the safety of runners and sanity of our volunteers all competitors must have started their 3rd lap before 13:45hrs.
Historically the very last runners to finish have taken (on average) 8hrs:30min to complete the course. (8 mins per km avg).
Lukasz BugajskiSep 9 2018, 3:14pmThanks.
Are there points for this race?
Robbie WilliamsSep 9 2018, 7:00pmNo, it cannot be as on looped course.
Lukasz BugajskiSep 9 2018, 10:44pmBut after this race I can do Wicklow Way?
Robbie WilliamsSep 10 2018, 2:03pmAre you talking about the wicklow way race in June (127km)?
Im sure the RD would take this race into consideration when sending your entry in next year
