| Mick Hanney | Jul 20 2019, 12:51pm | This is a new Leinster Champs route on the calendar this year. A recce could pay dividends come race day. I might be able to join given sufficient notice. hanneymick at gmail dot com. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 3 2019, 6:46pm | This event is now available for purchase in the shop. Alternatively IMRA vouchers will be accepted on the day. |
| Gordon Place | Sep 3 2019, 7:20pm | Are you selling a map for this one Mick?? |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 3 2019, 7:40pm | Gordon, for you, I might put in an extra control ;-) All maps sold out. The one used for Nav1 is the one you want. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 6 2019, 7:57am | Thanks for the volunteers that have come forward so far. If someone was available to help on the laptop front that would be great, else we'll do it old-school. Good to see people down doing recces. |
| Jenny Uí Shé | Sep 6 2019, 10:04am | Hi Mick sorry to bother You but what is Clare’s Number go you know? Trying to Track her don’t have time to Go through all numbers! Thanks Jenny |
| Gordon Place | Sep 6 2019, 12:10pm | Jenny, if you meant he Kerry Way ultra, if you go to the web page and click 'Open Kerry Way Ultra tracking in a new window', you can search for whoever you like on Primal Tracking, or just fly down through the list. Ladies are usually listed first anyway |

| Jenny Uí Shé | Sep 6 2019, 8:45pm | Thanks Gordan! So obvious once you said it. Have a good weekend of running yourself |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 8 2019, 5:15pm | Next Sunday we hope to offer tea, coffee and refreshments afterwards at the finish. Please bring along a cup! If you have enjoyed the Navs in recent weeks this is an easier version that you'll like. Route is fairly straightforward (with potential for boggy bits in the later forest) :-) |
| John Murray | Sep 9 2019, 9:59am | I'm going to miss this one now Mick...gutted!:( |
| Francis Conroy | Sep 9 2019, 4:43pm | I'm a bit new to the game: 2 questions - 1) will the kites on Slieve Maan (last two checkpoints) be visible from the 'Wicklow Way to the South - 2) I assume that you must go clockwise around the course? Great organisation! |
| Gordon Place | Sep 9 2019, 5:34pm | Hi Francis, I wouldn't bank on anything being visible, depending on the weather, but I'd say its unlikely |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 9 2019, 7:15pm | Francis, the route direction clockwise with Fananerin first... The Slieve maan spot heights are in clearings in forestry - you won't see them until you achieve the ridge at the top and all you see from the top is more trees. There is an early start if you were interested in taking part. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 10 2019, 2:24pm | Last CPs didn't have Grid References. I've added them in and tweaked one or two others from feedback. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 10 2019, 6:28pm | The Leinster Champs is down to a deciding race this Sunday. In the mens, it looks like a showdown between Adrian and Bernard who are currently filling the top 2 spots, but John Bell might have a say on proceedings. Brian Furey who had recced recently could be in the mix. In the ladys, Becky was down recceing in recent weeks so taking no chances and if Becky runs she can't be overtaken. Looking forward to Sunday. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 11 2019, 12:09pm | Online entry will close at 14 September 18:00 Vouchers accepted on the day. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 12 2019, 8:15pm | Anyone interested in taking a few photos on Sun? Lots of places around the route for a photo opportunity eg along the Fananerin ridge or the rocky climb to Croaghanmoira etc.. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 13 2019, 3:14pm | Forecast is looking ok for Sunday. Hoping to see a good crowd out for this new route on the calendar. The route has something for everyone. You are welcome to run even if you didn’t run other Leinster Champs races Final comments:- Don’t forget your mandatory kit Entry closes via the shop tomorrow evening or pay by voucher Bring a cup so you can get tea/coffee after Look at the route map if not familiar with it. It is not marked. Controls/kites will mark the 5 checkpoints. Hope you all enjoy it |
| Gordon Place | Sep 13 2019, 3:41pm | Looking forward to the new route Mick |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 13 2019, 4:49pm | Thanks Gordon. Thanks in advance to the volunteers who make the event possible. See you there for 10am. And like the runners bring a mug so you can get refreshments after. |
| Philip Cohen | Sep 14 2019, 12:46pm | Would it be possible to get a lift from Dublin to this tomorrow? I live by Stillorgan Shopping centre just off the N11, but happy to cycle anywhere nearby. Text or WhatsApp o83o4576o1. Sorry for the late notice. Thanks! |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 14 2019, 1:14pm | FYI. Be advised there is a cycling sportive happening tomorrow morning around Wicklow. It might slow people down en route from West Wicklow in particular, so check the details and perhaps give yourself more time just in case. https://www.reservoircogs.ie/routes/ |
| Philip Cohen | Sep 14 2019, 9:03pm | Just checking again if anyone has a spare seat going from Dublin? Happy to go early with volunteers (and help out before the race if needed!). Just let me know on here or the number above if you can help, thanks! |
| Gordon Place | Sep 14 2019, 10:15pm | Text sent Philip, hope it's not too late. I'll be passing stillorgan around 9.15 in the morning and can throw your bike in the back of the van. Oeight6eight541885 in case you didn't get it |
| Philip Cohen | Sep 15 2019, 7:45am | Thanks Gordon, but don't worry about it, got a lift sorted already. Appreciate it though. |
