| Gene Cahill | Mar 7 2019, 8:14pm | Hi guys - looking for small bit of advice on this event. Relatively new to the sport - did my first trail half at the Ballyhoura moonlight challenge in January. Really enjoyed it and want to do more! Just wondering how this compares? Have a good bit of experience in open mountain hiking but aside from my own training, I've only ever done the one half marathon trail. Thanks in advance |
| Robert Cunningham | Mar 13 2019, 12:44pm | Hi Gene. In comparison to Ballyhoura this race is a big step UP. It has a fair bit of open Mountain. It's rated as a 10 on difficulty level along with the Galty half. My advice would be to get a bit more experience on a lower level before stepping up to the likes of the knockmealdowns and galty half. |
| Robert Cunningham | Mar 13 2019, 1:54pm | Volunteers needed for Knockmealdowns half. |
| Brian Troy | Mar 14 2019, 11:18am | Hi, Is it the same route as last year? |
| Matthew Branch | Mar 14 2019, 12:35pm | @Brian Troy Yes, same route although there will be a bit more of a lead up to the off road section at the start to allow runners to space out a bit more.... maybe another 200m or so |
| Andrew Cahill | Mar 15 2019, 10:54am | Hi there was thinking about the doing knockmealdown half,have done a few half marathons on road and do a bit of mountain running aswell..what would be yer opinion be also done the bansha woods run last week.I will welcome yer opinions. Thanks Andrew Cahill |
| Gordon Place | Mar 15 2019, 11:41am | Hi Andrew, did you see the other forum post about a recce on 31st March? Be worth tagging along |
| Robbie Williams | Mar 16 2019, 2:14pm | Andrew, Do the recce. Not one bit like any road marathon. Tough but rewarding |
| Brian Troy | Mar 30 2019, 5:00pm | I have signed up for this race and am looking forward to it. But for the life of me I can’t find my number that I got at the first race this year. What should I do for this race? How do I replace a number? Thanks |
| Rory O'Toole | Mar 30 2019, 9:16pm | Is an early start available? Thanks. |
| Matthew Branch | Apr 1 2019, 2:56pm | @Rory O'Toole Yes, an early start is advised if you expect to take a little longer than normal. Reply to me on my email address when I send out a pre-race email a few days before the race. You can also approach me on the morning of. Early start will be 10am. |
| Rory O'Toole | Apr 1 2019, 7:49pm | Thanks, Matthew. Will do. |
| Barry Hartnett | Apr 6 2019, 8:53pm | Thanks to the Maamturks and my own gargantuan stupidity theres now a fine big hole in my knee so unfortunately I wont be attending Matt. Best of luck with it. |
| J.J. Curran | Apr 7 2019, 9:53am | Has registration for this race closed? Can’t see it on the purchase IMRA products list. |
| Tony Sullivan | Apr 8 2019, 10:24am | Hi, like J.J I'm just wondering has the registration closed for this? Thanks. |
| Tony Sullivan | Apr 8 2019, 10:25am | Hi, like J.J I'm just wondering has the registration closed for this? Thanks. |
| Gordon Place | Apr 8 2019, 10:37am | Sorry Lads, I think reg was down to close on Friday last |
| Matthew Branch | Apr 8 2019, 2:36pm | @Barry Hartnett - Heard so, that's crap mate. Maamturks was indeed rough. Speedy recovery! @JJ and Tony - afraid to see, but yes, Reg is now closed |
| Thomas O'Sullivan | Apr 11 2019, 2:11pm | Hello, I see the event is gone from the online registration. A cut-off for online registration was not mentioned in the event page that I can see, so it seems unfair to close it off. Can I go to the car park the morning of and register there instead? |
| Tanya Sheridan | Apr 11 2019, 2:36pm | Hi Matthew, I am injured so have to pull out from running on Saturday. Very disappointed! I stuck my name down as a helper in case you need any additional help. Thanks for all your work organising this, Tanya |
