| Pat Foley | Feb 3 2019, 8:45pm | Hi, I see that tonelagee is listed as an event this year but unlike the past few years, it is not listed as part of the leinster championship. Will this event make up part of the leinster championship for 2019? I have a similar question regarding mt brandon (kerry) and the munster championship. Thanks, pat |
| Lillian Deegan | Feb 5 2019, 1:00am | Hi Pat, To reply to your query on Tonelagee and Mt. Brandon - Every year when calendar planning for any of the IMRA Championship events, we try to give a little flavour of what’s available in other locations. And with this said, the LC listed events were changed about this year with Tonelagee not forming part of the LC 2019 set. Similar score for Brandon with MMRA. With the Tonelagee & Lap of the Lake route being a great little open Mt. event over the years, it has been kept as a stand alone race for this year. Hoping the above answers your query sufficiently. |
| Pat Foley | Feb 16 2019, 11:01pm | Thanks very much for the clarification Lillian |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 24 2019, 5:25pm | I have updated the final race on the Leinster champs, a new route we will be trying out. Still to be finalised but the outline plan is in the event. |
| Brían O'Meara | Apr 7 2019, 6:41pm | Three weeks to Tonelagee and we could do with a few more volunteers, if possible. A summit marshal would be good to have, as would a laptop operator. The race is open mountain and unmarked and the gear requirement referred to on the event page is mandatory. |
| Brían O'Meara | Apr 7 2019, 6:46pm | And very grateful if the web master could change the event linked forum tag from Leinster Champs to Tonelagee and Lap of the Lake ( thanks Kevin!).. |
| Brían O'Meara | Apr 25 2019, 8:54pm | No further volunteers needed for Tonlagee. Runners should bear in mind the mandatory kit detailed on the event page, in light of the weather forecast. |
| Alan Ayling | Apr 26 2019, 12:04am | Hi Brian - route description mentions "Crossing the road", but doesn't expressly forbid running up the road for any distance before heading onto the hill. Could you confirm for the sake of clarity and avoiding disputes on the day? Thanks! |
| Brían O'Meara | Apr 27 2019, 6:22pm | Runners can take it that running up the road after the crossing point is expressly forbidden! Route details amended accordingly. Brían |
| Alan Ayling | Apr 28 2019, 3:48pm | Great oul' craic today, people scattered everywhere! Thanks Brían & crew. |
| Lillian Deegan | Apr 28 2019, 4:05pm | Yep, another grand Tonelagee and Lake Lap outing. Well done everyone! This was Brían's 1st outing as RD - great job bossman, not a bother on ya! Love the way you spent a few quid on treats to include the little helper ppl and us lot. John Bell - thanks for winning the race for me - Brían, I'll collect me winnings another time ;) And as if by magic, we met with our F14 Devils Glen young lady, Paulina Hanney - hoping we'll be seeing herself plenty more during the upcoming LL period. |
| Alistair Hodgett | Apr 28 2019, 5:50pm | Thanks to the RD and volunteers, a great day out in the hills |
| Brían O'Meara | Apr 28 2019, 5:58pm | Your winnings are in the post, Lilian! Thanks to the volunteers (Larry, Niall, Mary, Anne,Ronan, Jenny & team, Patsy and Kevin) made my RD job easy. |
| Conor O'Farrell | Apr 28 2019, 7:48pm | Thanks to Brian and everyone else involved for another great IMRA scattering(as can be seen in the flyby: https://labs.strava.com/flyby/viewer/#2325444307?c=gc7mybn2&z=E&t=1SnOXC&a=03abihv0qorHeJyKeZSaiswRnYriVp6K2GqlijjfnoqD9qmKR3-aiudeqYoYy6GKDjGfiolQm4o). Results are now up. Can you please email any results queries to Conor <dot> ofarrell <at> imra <dot> ie. Thanks Con |
| Ross Fitzgerald | Apr 28 2019, 9:15pm | Great bit of fun & frolics in the hills earlier. Good stuff Con getting results up so soon and, more entertainingly, that Strava link! Fabio's pink route was definitely a popular choice today ;) Thanks to Brian and crew for facilitating. Well done to all the winners and wanderers |
| Aidan Roe | Apr 28 2019, 9:59pm | Thanks to Brian and rest of team. First race in open mountains in a few years. I forgot how much ‘fun’ it was. Perfect conditions. Looking forward to season ahead. Aidan |
| Gerard Keating | Apr 29 2019, 9:39am | Great fun in the hills yesterday. If ever there was proof needed that maps are mandatory on these runs it was yesterday! At one stage about 12 of us were standing around looking at a map. Thanks Brian and all volunteers yesterday - sorry if we made you stand around longer than you needed to be! |
| Peter Bell | Apr 29 2019, 9:52am | Big thanks to Brian and his team for yesterday, it was a cold day to be standing around. Tonglagee always makes a really good proper mountain race. Choosing a route always adds a bit of extra fun to the race too. Well done to all the winners and all the lost soles for finding their way home. |
| Tiernan Swan | Apr 30 2019, 5:22pm | Thank you and well done Brian on RD on Sunday and to all the volunteers at Tonelagee!Yous were great! Really enjoyed the event.
