| Brian Flannelly | Aug 23 2018, 10:16pm | Due to logistics in preparing for this event, entries will now close earlier than previously advertised - on Friday 31st August at 5pm - just login to MyIMRA and go to "PURCHASE IMRA PRODUCTS" tab. |
| Conor O'Farrell | Aug 28 2018, 11:07am | @Brian FYI, on the event page: Race Entry Procedure Entry to this race is by online registration only. It will not be possible to enter on the day. Online registration will close on Friday 31st of September at 5pm. You might want to change that. Con |
| Brian Flannelly | Aug 29 2018, 8:04am | Hi Con, No need to change that, the event page is correct ... you may have missed my forum post last Thursday. -Brian |
| Stuart Scott | Aug 29 2018, 9:53am | Maybe that was Conor's subtle way of asking you to extend the entry past the 31st :-) |
| Conor O'Farrell | Aug 29 2018, 10:26am | Stuart, you can see right through me. ;-) I was getting confused(not difficult, I know) with the September/August entry closures. |
| Karen Devenney | Aug 29 2018, 3:24pm | I've updated race details now to 31 Aug to avoid confusion! |

| Brenda Breathnach | Sep 1 2018, 9:28am | I managed to sign in with one minute to spare but a few more colleagues would have registered but didn't realise it was closing at 5 pm. |
| Robbie Williams | Sep 1 2018, 10:57am | Congratulations 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. |

| Dan Daly | Sep 12 2018, 2:28pm | Hi. I have registered for this half-marathon but I've picked up a nasty enough cold and I don't think I'll be fit for it. Is there a way I could transfer my registration to the Nagles half-marathon on 29th? Thanks. |
| Martin Waters | Sep 13 2018, 5:02pm | I've entered the half marathon but wont make it after picking up an injury last weekend, I'm on the sidelines for 3 to 4 weeks. Any way of transferring the entry or getting tokens of some sort for another half marathon in the future. I'm very disappointed to miss this one. Kind Regards, Martin Waters |
| Michael Cunney | Sep 13 2018, 8:49pm | Hi,, due to an injury I won't make it to the race on Saturday. I am very disappointed not to take part this year.I've really enjoyed it the before and I have no doubt it will be a great event. Best of luck to everyone and thanks to the organisers. I hope to see you next year. Best regards, Mick |
