| Mick Hanney | Feb 2 2019, 7:40am | @Colin - ok - you might pop a reminder closer to the race. I daresay there will be other swaps between races anyway. |

| Andrew Hanney | Feb 8 2019, 8:21am | Well done Sandra! |
| Graham Colmer | Feb 8 2019, 11:25am | Hi, I am going to recce the ultra route on Sat 16th Feb if anyone is interested in joining. Starting 7am from from Boranaraltry Lane (parking at the bridge) and heading to Ballinastoe and back. |
| Shane O'Malley | Feb 8 2019, 11:49am | Would that be about 20K each way Graham. Cant make the 16th unfortunately but love to give it a go at some stage. |
| Graham Colmer | Feb 10 2019, 1:09pm | Hi Shane, about 23k each way i think. |
| Rich Costelloe | Feb 11 2019, 1:11pm | Hi Graham, I'd be interested to join the recce on Sat. |
| Graham Colmer | Feb 12 2019, 4:56pm | Hi Rich, If you email me at graham.colmer at gmail dot com we can arrange Thanks |
| Colm Austin | Feb 13 2019, 9:31pm | Can you also add me to the list of people that entered Ultra by mistake and move me to the half please. |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 13 2019, 9:53pm | Lads - its getting a bit silly. I make it 4 people so far that have mistakingly bought an ultra entry instead of a trail entry. The wording in the 'shop' is quite clear but there you go... |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 14 2019, 8:19pm | Keeping note of entry switchers. Entered Half - switch to Ultra 1. Colin Halloran 2. Denis Moynihan Entered Ultra - switch to Trail 1. Sandra Pegman 2. Colm Austin |
| Colm Austin | Feb 14 2019, 8:26pm | Thanks Mick |

| Richard Nunan | Feb 16 2019, 1:17pm | Hi John, Entries close on the 1st of March. If you are running i would advise you register as soon as you can. |
| Nicola Brown | Feb 17 2019, 11:27pm | Good evening, Please could you advise me on downloading the route, I have attempted by selecting the "here" a few times and keep getting a error page! Also will the start be the same as the details for 2018? Thank you. |

| Gordon Place | Feb 18 2019, 7:47am | Hi Nicola, if you click on 'find route with trace de trail, scroll down to' gpx'and download. You need to log in or register with trace de trail |
| Richard Nunan | Feb 18 2019, 8:46am | The registration and start location will be at Johnny Foxes this year. |
| Simon Kelly | Feb 21 2019, 3:56pm | Hi, Can you confirm when entries for this (Maurice Mullins Ultra) close please? Just a bit confused as it say 1st March on the Race Page, but in the Purchase area it says 17th March? Thanks, Simon |
| Richard Nunan | Feb 21 2019, 4:09pm | Hi Simon, Corrected on purchase page - March 1st @ 9:00am it closes Thanks Richard |
| Simon Kelly | Feb 21 2019, 5:40pm | Perfect, thanks Richard. Simon |
| Paul Miles | Feb 22 2019, 11:09am | Hi Richard, this is my first race for the year. Do I pick up my number at the Johnnie Fox's registration? |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 22 2019, 2:18pm | Keeping note of entry switchers. Entered Half - switch to Ultra 1. Colin Halloran 2. Denis Moynihan Entered Ultra - switch to Trail 1. Sandra Pegman 2. Colm Austin 3. Aisling Kirwan 4. Niamh O'Ceallaigh 5. Karl Maguire. |

| lorraine Mc mahon | Feb 22 2019, 2:42pm | Are we guaranteed our mug as I didnt get one last year which was disappointing. Lorraine |
| lorraine Mc mahon | Feb 22 2019, 2:42pm | Are we guaranteed our mug as I didnt get one last year which was disappointing. Lorraine |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 22 2019, 3:42pm | @Lorraine - there will be a mug for all finishers. |
| Richard Nunan | Feb 22 2019, 3:44pm | Just to note again: We are closing entries on the 1st of March. No entries, Transfers etc.. after this time. This means not be facilitating any changes - transfers - people to switch down to Trail etc (* apart from what Mick has highlighetd at this time *) Good luck with the training - perfect weekend to get out on the recces !! |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 25 2019, 11:17am | The finish line for the race will be at the Stars of Erin GAA club in Glencullen. NO PARKING at the finish area. There is likely to be an underage match on at the time so parking there will be limited. |
| Laszlo Barkoczi | Mar 1 2019, 9:57am | Hi Richard, I have screwed up the timing and missed out by an hour the registration, didn`t realize it closes at 9am. Any chance you could let me in for the Ultra? Please? |
| Jason Collins | Mar 1 2019, 7:16pm | Hi guys, I forgot too sign up for this race. Just tried their but I think it’s closed. Is their any way I can sign up?? |
| Clarke Browne | Mar 1 2019, 8:41pm | Hi Richard, I'm really disappointed that I can't seem to sign up for this ultra. I really want to enter too and heard at the last minute that it closed today but have been in work since 8am - I thought/ assumed entries close at midnight on the closing day but have just seen 9am...is there any way at all you could let me register until midnight tonight? Regards Clarke |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 3 2019, 6:44pm | Just to note again: I posted on 16th and 22nd of Feb that entries would close on the 1st of March. No entries, Transfers etc.. after this time. (* Same rules apply to those who send Facebook friend requests to send messages to ask ask is there a chance of an entry as they missed had missed the March 1st Entry deadline *) |
| Conor O'Keeffe | Mar 4 2019, 8:25am | Hi Richard Was really hoping to race this as well but stupidly didn't see your post. Is there any way you could please extend the deadline by a few days since there's a few of us now :) |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 4 2019, 8:49am | Hi Conor, Unfortunately - Its full,its closed,its currently over capacity - but the normal ratio of drop outs, will bring it back to capacity as it has for the last 5-10 years. Entries are closed -we wont be extending or arranging a waiting list. Thanks Richard |
| Derek Mathers | Mar 4 2019, 10:46am | Hi Richard Unfortunately due to injury & fitness level, I don't think I will be fit enough for the Ultra, would it be possible to move my entry to the half ??? Rgds Derek |
| Maria McDonald | Mar 4 2019, 12:58pm | Hi I've registered for the half but really want to do the full is there anyway we could do a swap if someone is wanting to do half instead of ultra? |
| Derek Mathers | Mar 4 2019, 6:47pm | Tom that would suit me as long as the race directors agree, I will be happy to swap.. Rgds Derek |
| Derek Mathers | Mar 4 2019, 6:54pm | Maria, I will be happy to swap....Richard can you help in any way??? |
| Maria McDonald | Mar 4 2019, 7:27pm | That would be brilliant Derek |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 4 2019, 8:04pm | Hi Folks Just to note again: I posted on 16th, 22nd of Feb and the 3rd of March that entries would close on the 1st of March. No entries, Transfers etc.. after this time. This includes Swaps also ... sorry. |
| Maria McDonald | Mar 4 2019, 8:37pm | Sorry now Richard but I seen on the half forum there is a waiting list for the half, is this not the same for the ultra? I thought there was no capacity on the ultra, I know the half had a capacity alright and it sold out..just a bit confused here |
| Maria McDonald | Mar 4 2019, 8:38pm | Sorry now Richard but I seen on the half forum there is a waiting list for the half, is this not the same for the ultra? I thought there was no capacity on the ultra, I know the half had a capacity alright and it sold out..just a bit confused here |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 4 2019, 8:50pm | @Maria, the ultra and the half are separate events with different logistics, but between both races we need to ensure we have a manageable no. of runners on the Wicklow way at the same time. This year the demand has been unprecedented and we are trying to manage that balance as well as we can. From a half viewpoint I had to cap entries as there was a limited no. of bus seats to start with. Other logistics like mug orders etc come into play too. I have a waiting list there due to the demand as I would prefer to see seats not going to waste if anyone drops out. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 4 2019, 8:53pm | Hi Maria, If you had scrolled up you could have read this post at 8:49am Hi Conor, Unfortunately - Its full,its closed,its currently over capacity - but the normal ratio of drop outs, will bring it back to capacity as it has for the last 5-10 years. Entries are closed -we wont be extending or arranging a waiting list. Thanks Richard |
| Geoff Smyth | Mar 4 2019, 10:33pm | Just logged in to enter ultra and see entries are closed , last time I checked the info said March 17 ??? |

| Samuel Fox | Mar 4 2019, 10:37pm | No it was March 1st as stated numerous time on the forum |
| Derek Mathers | Mar 5 2019, 10:43am | Richard, can Marie and myself work the swap between ourselves..?? Just a thought |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 5 2019, 1:39pm | Hi Derek, Same thought as you had yesterday at 6:47. I am going to post my response again as we have done several times to Maria yesterday on Facebook and on the Forum. Unfortunately i should have included self-management swaps. See below..... Hi Folks Just to note again: I posted on 16th, 22nd of Feb, 3rd and 5th of of March that entries would close on the 1st of March. No entries, Transfers etc.. after this time. This includes Swaps also No self management of swaps allowed also ... sorry |
| Sarah Brady | Mar 6 2019, 11:48am | Will there be an entrants list published nearer the time for nosy people? :) |
| Conor O'Farrell | Mar 6 2019, 11:52am | @Sarah. Maybe we could start a new list of people who got an entry. :-) |
| Sarah Brady | Mar 6 2019, 12:55pm | @Conor, haha, my question was likely to open a can of worms (insert monkey with hands over eyes emoji) |
| Keith Mullen | Mar 7 2019, 11:12am | Hi, I was wondering if there are aid stations during the ultra and where I can find details if so? Thanks Keith |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 7 2019, 11:14am | @Keith - details of aid stations in event details tab for this race. |
| Laszlo Barkoczi | Mar 8 2019, 9:46am | Hi guys, you didn`t change your mind about extra entries? |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 8 2019, 2:47pm | @Laszlo - no change of mind. Call for volunteers for ultra and half. With 2 weeks to go we will need more volunteers. The volunteer list for the ultra in particular is looking a bit slim. All help appreciated. Thanks. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Mar 8 2019, 8:41pm | Volunteered for Ultra. Happy to help out with registration and can head down to help with ref for the half or head to the halfway then with dropbags or help with start or whatever needed but not only available until about 12:30. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 8 2019, 8:57pm | Thanks Pol - will ping you to organise Role on the day |
| Keith Mullen | Mar 11 2019, 12:09pm | @Mick Hanney - thanks for the info. I'm wondering what is available at aid stations? Can I refill water bottles etc? Sorry for the basic question - first time racing. Cheers Keith |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 11 2019, 2:00pm | Hi Keith, The expectation is that you will be self-sufficent. We do not have aid stations - but stations where you can get water and access to your drop bag. Namely Ballinastoe, halfway and on the way back at Crone (32km)and at Curtlestown about 8km to go. (*1.5KM Climb and a sprint finish *) |

| Remi Delille | Mar 11 2019, 2:12pm | Hi All, I’ve never run the trails of the Maurice Mullins Ultra so was wondering if anybody had recommendations on shoe choice (namely, something suited for soft, muddy ground vs. something for more packed surfaces)? Many thanks, Remi |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 11 2019, 3:25pm | Hi Terrain has a bit of everything but majority of it is fireroad. Some muddy, technical bits and boardwalk around Djouce. Most will wear inov8s I’d say. Whatever you wore in Ballyhoura marathon should work for this event too. Cheers Mick |
| Elio Macuka | Mar 11 2019, 5:55pm | Hy Mick, is possible to switch from trail to ultra? |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 11 2019, 6:20pm | @Elio - no transfers in either direction I'm afraid. |
| Elio Macuka | Mar 11 2019, 8:19pm | No worries! Tnx on a fast reply |
| DAVID CAFFREY | Mar 13 2019, 11:01am | Hi , I have entered the ultra ,,im just wondering when i will get my race pack with number ,thanks |

| Lillian Deegan | Mar 13 2019, 11:08am | Hi ya Dave, Great to hear you’ll be down for this one. You’ll get your bib No. from the lovely Reg. desk ppl once you sign-in on race morning. |
| Samuel Fox | Mar 13 2019, 11:12am | beat me to it. Dave, - this from a different forum thread earlier in the year ....when you sign-in to run, you will collect your new 2019 IMRA race number. This is yours for the entire year and it's up to you keep the same for the next event you wish to run with IMRA. Should a replacement be needed for whatever reason, it will cost you another 5 Euro. This additional charge can be paid for on-line or by punching a voucher card to receive a duplicate of your race number. As its a new year, everyone automatically gets allocated a new race number in place of what they had from a previous year. Don't be rocking up to run with a bib No. from last year - you'll confuse the laptop database - simples!... |
| John Murray | Mar 13 2019, 11:40am | Hi Lillian, my first race of the year was last month at the Sli Mhuscrai Ultra but they didn't have my new IMRA Bib No. at the reg. desk for some reason. If possible could I get my Bib No. for 2019 at this race when I check in? Thank you! :) |
| Lillian Deegan | Mar 13 2019, 12:03pm | Hey John, Just checked the box here - #181 is being nicely pressed within. See you above on race morn :) |
| John Murray | Mar 13 2019, 12:22pm | Excellent...thanks Lillian. See you there! |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 13 2019, 12:58pm | Hi Folks, I just there isn't a race pack, but there will be 2 designated areas to put your drop bag. We have race numbers - you will be given one on the morning if don't already have one from an IMRA race this year. Thanks Richard |
| Keith Mullen | Mar 14 2019, 9:35am | Hi, Are there any guidelines/requirements for the drop bags? Thanks Keith |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 14 2019, 11:20am | Hi Keith, No guidelines, but small bits of advice. Make your bag identifiable to you. There will be 200 bags lined up around 100 meters down from the gate at the turn point. You must retrieve your own bag. SO try and make it easy. You need 2 (1 for the 25km half way 1 for Crone 32km) We will have a station at Curtlestown - i wouldn't rely on it. Plan is to have volunteer + water available for refills at the gate. |
| Sarah Brady | Mar 14 2019, 11:43am | One more question!! Will there be water in Crone (or anywhere else) on the way out or should we carry enough to do us for the first 25k? Thanks. :) |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 14 2019, 12:53pm | Good question - i would carry water for the way out to do you until the 25km. If this changes I will let you know, its a long day at Crone for the Volunteers, Plan was to be setup in Crone for 11:30. Crone will have water on the way back. |
| Sarah Brady | Mar 14 2019, 2:43pm | Cool, good to know. Thanks, Richard. |
| Keith Mullen | Mar 15 2019, 10:41am | Hi Richard, Thanks for the additional information - really helpful. Cheers Keith |
| Deirdre O'Riordan | Mar 16 2019, 6:11pm | I unfortunately have to pull out of the ultra due to an unforeseen health issue. Pretty gutted but hope someone can avail of my place? thanks |

| Robert Carney | Mar 16 2019, 6:19pm | Hi Richard/Mick, Just to make you aware there is a tree down and blocking the fire road on the MM route. It is located at the point you enter into ballinastoe forest a few hundred metres after leaving the wicklow way heading downhill in the direction of the MTB centre. Grid ref: O 172 078. Apologies, I would have taken care of it only I left my saw in my other bag. :) |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 16 2019, 6:54pm | A leaning tree will add to the fun :-) |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 16 2019, 7:53pm | Thanks Rob - Will be on the course on Monday - will check it out. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 16 2019, 7:54pm | Thanks Rob - Will be on the course on Monday - will check it out. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 16 2019, 8:02pm | ****** Short Update******************* This year we will be providing all runners with Wrist bands at Registration along with their race numbers. MM ULTRA - Red MM Ultra Early start - Purple MM Trail - Green This will help us with the finish where we have the same finish line for all runners and identify who is running in which race along the way. Early start will be at 8:30am - Please do not take the early start if you think you will hit the half way before the front runners. So before 11:30-12:00. Water will be available at Crone from 10:30am, so if you are an early start you should be self sufficient to 25km |
| Andrew Hanney | Mar 16 2019, 10:38pm | The tree has been leaning for a few weeks now, you can get around it without too much fuss. Miriam Maher took a photo of it today, I’ll ask her to put on the fb site. |
| Simon Kelly | Mar 17 2019, 7:50pm | Hi, I would like to start early with the 08:30 option. Unless something miraculous happens I will not be faster than 6 hours! Do I need to do anything, or register my wish to start early anywhere or with anyone? Or do I just come early on the day and request at registration? Apologies if I have missed any message that already explains this and has answered my question. Thanks, Simon |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 17 2019, 8:37pm | @Simon - the checkpoint times are generous enough. Not sure you need an early start which is really aimed at people who would be 6.5 hours+. If you did the Sli Muschri ultra and were under 160% of the winner, on a mainly off-road course, you should be fine with normal start, in my opinion. |
| Simon Kelly | Mar 18 2019, 8:21am | Thanks for getting back to me Mick. I would like to go for the early start all the same. If I keep the same pace as the SGM it would bring me home in just over 8 hours...hopefully I will be quicker than that, but even 6.5 hours would be a very good time for me I think! If you could let me know what I need to do in order to be in the early start please. Thanks, Simon |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 18 2019, 9:18am | Hi Simon - If you are thinking of early start - you need to turn up at registration on the morning, and sign in between and 7:30am and 8:15am. You will get your number and wrist band and start at 8:30 with the early start group. See you on Saturday. |
| Simon Kelly | Mar 18 2019, 1:51pm | Thanks Richard, I will make sure to be there in plenty of time. Looking forward to the race. Thanks, Simon |
| Ann O Connor | Mar 18 2019, 5:41pm | I have an entry for the Ultra, but will not be able to take part in the event. If IMRA want to re-allocate my entry please do. Ann O Connor |

| Niall Lagrue | Mar 19 2019, 6:52am | I would like to start at the earlier time as I expect to be more than the 6 hours. I will arrive at 7.30am to register for the early start. Please advise if there is anything I must do in order to register my early start intention. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 19 2019, 8:39am | Morning Niall - as mentioned 4 posts up this forum If you are thinking of early start - you need to turn up at registration on the morning, and sign in between and 7:30am and 8:15am. You will get your number and wrist band and start at 8:30 with the early start group. See you on Saturday. |
| Dillon McEvoy | Mar 19 2019, 11:00am | Hi Guys, Excited for the race this weekend! Just wondering: 1. Is the route clearly marked or should we download the GPS route map? 2. Is there any mandatory kit besides a waterproof jacket? What do you recommend running with? Thanks, Dillon |
| Niall Lagrue | Mar 19 2019, 12:59pm | Thank you for the fast response Richard. Thats perfect. Different topic - I have misplaced my bib Number - can I pay cash on the morning for a replacement (Number:878)? |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 19 2019, 1:59pm | Hi Dillon, Good to hear you are excited. The route is marked by the wicklow way yellow men. Feel free to bring a map incase. There is only one place we feel people could go wrong. We will have a Marshall there @ Lough Tay. Mandatory kit - waterproof Jacket at this stage. Weather watching in progress. See you Saturday |
| Steve Griffin | Mar 20 2019, 9:47am | I have to pull out of the Ultra due to injury, I presume I can't transfer to the half at this stage. I'd be happy to help out on the day if you're still looking for volunteers? |
| Mark Keogh | Mar 20 2019, 12:07pm | Unfortunately I will not be able to make the Ultra this Saturday. Can my place be given to some one else instead. Apologies for the late notice |
| Philip Purcell | Mar 20 2019, 2:08pm | What time is the ultra ( normal start) registration? |
| Niall Lagrue | Mar 20 2019, 3:07pm | I have misplaced my bib Number - can I pay cash on the morning for a replacement (Number:878)? Please advise. |
| Remi Delille | Mar 20 2019, 3:17pm | Hi Richard, are you planning to post an entry list for the ultra? |
| Conor O'Farrell | Mar 20 2019, 3:24pm | Hi Niall Generally, a bib is replaced with a punch from your race voucher. If you don't have one, maybe arrange to get a punch from someone else's on the day and pay them a fiver. Con |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 20 2019, 4:48pm | Hi Folks, - Normal start registration is from 7:30 to 9:15am - Misplace Bib number - you can pay cash on the morning - Steve if you would like to volunteer on the day - we could use someone from 10:30 to 13:30 at Lough tay. Add yourself as a volunteer - If this works - A list will be published on the morning of the race . |
| Rich Costelloe | Mar 20 2019, 8:25pm | Hi another small question - I was given a timing-chip last year, do we need to wear these also for this event? Thanks in advance for all the organisation! |
| Patricia McLoughlin | Mar 21 2019, 1:40pm | Hi Richard I have not seen any comms for the volunteers yet. Sorry if I missed it but can you point me to that plan and times. Thanks |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 21 2019, 2:15pm | Volunteers - Roles and Times have been sent to your email. Thanks again to everyone who has Volunteered. |
| Brendan Neville | Mar 21 2019, 5:33pm | Richard didn't get an email on my volunteer role. Note I've just switched to a non-runner volunteer due to a late late injury but still plan to be at reg to help at 7 otherwise. Cheers, Brendan |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 21 2019, 5:47pm | Brendan - you have new mail :-) We have enough for volunteers now. We have a great crew of volunteers that will ensure the safety and organisation of the race. Be nice to them please. See you all bright and early Saturday your almost there, time to eat lots of good food!! |
| Patricia McLoughlin | Mar 22 2019, 12:00am | Richard, I have no email with volunteer details. Fyi. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 22 2019, 8:59am | Patricia can you email me - from your email address please. Mine is on the IMRA contacts page. All other volunteers received there email. I may have the wrong address for you. Apologies. . |
| Mick Hanney | Mar 22 2019, 11:22am | Note on Finish. Finish is in the Stars of Erin GAA. There are kids matches on in the morning and another match in the afternoon. Added to that there is some building working going on with astroturf pitches. So parking here is limited for the volunteers helping at finish, no parking for general supporters here please. |
| Alan Wynne | Mar 22 2019, 2:02pm | Due to injury I’m sad to say i won’t be able to run the ultra. Really sorry about the late message. Hope you can fill my place, sorry again |
| Seán Duffy | Mar 22 2019, 2:26pm | My apologies for the late update. I'm afraid that I will not be able to take part in the Ultra tomorrow. I've had a recent bout of flu and was hoping I'd be fit enough, unfortunately not. Hoping that you can offer out my place. |
| Eoghan Hughes | Mar 22 2019, 4:17pm | Apologies for the late notice too. I am also injured and won't be running tomorrow if you have anyone looking for a last minute spot. I hope everyone has a great day and I hope to run it next year. |
| Richard Nunan | Mar 22 2019, 4:23pm | If you forget your number tomorrow we will be asking you to make a 5 euro donation to Self Africa. Its an organisation that Moire O Sullivan's late husband Pete Power worked with for many years. Pete ran with IMRA in 2008 & 2009 when based in Dublin. So Mick and I felt it was appropriate https://selfhelpafrica.org/us/ |

| John Murray | Mar 24 2019, 10:04am | @Conor - I see a LOT of early starters who must of mistakenly taken a RED armband at registration so their times may need to be adjusted +1hr! :) I'm sure they'll own up once they realise they haven't PB'd the course by an hour! lol Thanks to Richard, Mick, Lillian and the volunteers for a fantastic day in the hills yesterday and super organisation considering the large field of runners in all starts. |
| David Dunne | Mar 24 2019, 10:28am | Fantastic event folks kudos to all involved, superb weather topped it all off. Thanks guys |
| Conor O'Farrell | Mar 24 2019, 10:59am | @John, thanks for flagging this. Hopefully people,will be in touch. Keeping in mind that not everybody reads the forum, could people spread the word on this? Thanks. I’m working on a few amendments to the results for both races, so bare with me. |
| Lar Heffernan | Mar 24 2019, 1:19pm | A big thanks to Richard and all at IMRA for a really well organised race today. Enjoyed it from start to finish (I think) Congratulations everyone who took part |
| Miriam Maher | Mar 24 2019, 7:36pm | Richard, Mick (posting here 'cos I did the ultra, but the message is for you both) thanks so much for the gargantuan efforts put in beforehand and all day yesterday to bring about these events. For the entertaining responses on the forum to the many queries over the past few weeks, to the attention to all the many unseen logistics that we can only guess at. All IMRA events rely on volunteers to be carried off, but this event might be at the top of the pile when it comes to planning and execution. Thanks also to your merry band of friendly volunteers who make the day in many small but super ways. And then there's the mug ! Thanks Hilary! |
| Eilis Connery | Mar 24 2019, 7:38pm | Thank you Richard, Mick and all the volunteers for the hard work and time that went into yesterday...a savage race |
| Conor O'Farrell | Mar 24 2019, 10:32pm | Hi All I have verified all results and made changes where necessary, for all those who have been in contact. Due to the nature of the race (early, ultra and half)I've had a lot of emails on this. So if you have not heard back from me, or your result has not been amended, please let me know. Con |
| Alistair Hodgett | Mar 25 2019, 7:46am | A big thank you to all who gave generously of their time to volunteer and make the race possible and so enjoyable. The words of encouragement along the way at Ballinastoe, Crone and Curtlestown were much appreciated. |
| Aidan Buckley | Mar 25 2019, 10:52am | Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Richard, Mick and all the volunteers for the race on Saturday. A really enjoyable race and brilliantly organized from start to finish, thank you all |
| Kevin Cullinan | Mar 25 2019, 1:55pm | Hi Conor, Would you mind updating Ultra finish position 33 (945: Simon Sorensen) as this is a typo. That was myself: 495: Kevin Cullinan. Thanks and thanks again for a well organised event, Kev |
