| Michael Kelly | Jul 21 2019, 8:52pm | Hi Tom Like to travel to italy in sept for masters Mick kelly Gowran ac Thanks Tom. |
| Gordon Place | Dec 5 2019, 4:51pm | Hi Gavan, If you've no other takers I can do First Aid after marking if one of the other volunteers wants to get in a jog and can sweep/demark? |
| John Murray | Dec 5 2019, 6:39pm | Just added my name to the list also Gavan if you need any extra help. Won't be running. |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 6 2019, 1:16pm | John - really appreciated. Won’t need to bang on at you as much next time we meet! :-) Gordon - effectively super-hero volunteering, I’ll lend you my Superman outfit! I’m hoping one of our volunteers will know how to work the basics of the new laptop system but will email everyone directly. Either way sincere thanks to all volunteers - the various leagues are all done & volunteer/prize lists generally closed, so your volunteering to help is truly in the IMRA spirit which I hope race reflects. |
| Conor O'Farrell | Dec 6 2019, 1:40pm | Hi Gavan I'll be about to assist the laptop operator, I plan on running though. ;-) Con |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 6 2019, 1:59pm | With Conor in the mix that works perfectly. I’ll email volunteers directly. |
| Henny Brandsma | Dec 9 2019, 11:09am | Hi Gavin,put my name forward for this race as a volunteer,but as I am still recovering from my knee replacement,would like a job near or at the start finish. Henny. |
| Lillian Deegan | Dec 13 2019, 1:23pm | . Hi all, On with a msg for the last few members who are due to collect their end of year prize and for those who are due their Core volunteer prize for 2019. We are down to lovely single digit numbers with people to pick up their prizes and that's really wonderful as we head into 2020 - thanks very much everyone for helping us wrap this task up as we close out 2019. I will have the last of the prizes in the car on Dec. 27th. If you are one of the remaining few due to collect, will you be sure to see me on race morning. Cheers Lillian . |
| Andrew Hanney | Dec 13 2019, 3:07pm | Is there a discounted membership available for this race? Trying to get some club mates up to it....thanks. |
| Conor O'Farrell | Dec 13 2019, 3:24pm | Hi Andy The 3 Euro memberships is still available until the last race is over. Con |
| Andrew Hanney | Dec 21 2019, 11:17pm | We ran the zig zags today climbing from the river, a few downed trees will make for some excellent hurdling training. |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 22 2019, 1:01pm | Race details updated a bit but main thing is entries close tonight at 6pm. |
| James Higgins | Dec 22 2019, 1:28pm | I have tagged the photos of those on the event page that will no doubt be in our thoughts on the Djouce Remembrance Race. However, there is one person that I don't know, so could someone do the honours? One other thought is that I am sure that there are others who were regular IMRA runners and have passed away but are not included. Maybe some of our longer serving members could recall these and post their names? |
| Brendan Lawlor | Dec 22 2019, 1:52pm | Hi James That’s sorted now |
| Joanne Rice | Dec 22 2019, 2:56pm | Hi, just want to double check on entering this run, I have 2019 membership and a race token card. Does this mean I can just arrive on the day and register ie I don’t have to do anything in advance? |
| Gordon Place | Dec 22 2019, 3:31pm | Hi Joanne, You are sorted so and don't need to do anything else. Just bring your race number and race chip as well ( if you got one, if not I'm sure you'll get one there if they are being used) |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 22 2019, 3:32pm | Hi Joanne, That’s correct - once you have a 2019 IMRA number & some space on your 10 Race Voucher that’s all you need. See you then! |
| Joanne Rice | Dec 22 2019, 3:41pm | Thanks lads. I didn’t get a chip as they were all out of them the last day. No panic, if they’re back in stock great, if not my garmin will suffice. See you there. |
| Andrew Hanney | Dec 23 2019, 8:42am | Is there to be a kids route? |
| Brendan Lawlor | Dec 23 2019, 8:58am | Hi I have added Jimmy O'Brien RIP Diane Large has also passed away, RIP , but unfortunately we don't have a photo of her. If anyone can provide a photo please pass it on and we'll include |
| Paul Smyth | Dec 23 2019, 9:24am | Brendan, There's one at: http://iol.ie/~imra/obit_diana.html. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Dec 23 2019, 9:47am | Great, thank you Paul |
| Gerry Doyle | Dec 23 2019, 1:36pm | Guys, completely missed the deadline of yesterday, are there any options or definitely entries by 22/12 only?? |
| Gordon Place | Dec 23 2019, 1:48pm | Hi Gerry, as long as you have membership and a number for 2019, someone will sell you a punch on their voucher card at race reg Gordon |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 23 2019, 3:26pm | @Andy - I'm working it out with Gordon. Won't guarantee it yet but will confirm either way here & on event page in the next day or so. cheers, |
| Gerry Doyle | Dec 23 2019, 3:50pm | Thanks Guys |
| Geraldine Clements | Dec 23 2019, 7:01pm | Hi, I missed yesterday's deadline and unfortunately don't have a 2019 membership. If there's any way to enter could you let me know ; otherwise not to worry, I'll be better prepared in future! Thanks. |
| Conor O'Farrell | Dec 23 2019, 7:07pm | Hi Geraldine 2019 membership is still available. Just login to the site and click on “Membership/Shop/Online Entry” on the top of the page. You should see 2019 membership listed on the page. Con |
| Geraldine Clements | Dec 23 2019, 7:09pm | Thanks for the quick reply. So if I purchase the membership, will I be able to get a number and buy a voucher off someone on the day ? |
| Brendan Lawlor | Dec 23 2019, 7:25pm | Geraldine, I’ll sort you for a voucher punch if you can get a 2019 membership |
| Geraldine Clements | Dec 23 2019, 7:27pm | Awesome, thanks Brendan. I think it has been eight years since my last IMRA run ! See you there. |
| Brian Farren | Dec 24 2019, 12:08am | Hi. I lost my chip. Can I purchase another with a voucher at the race? |
| Conor O'Farrell | Dec 24 2019, 11:36am | Hi Brian Yes, timing chips will be available on the day. Con |
| Brian Farren | Dec 24 2019, 1:27pm | Great Thanks Con |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 24 2019, 1:45pm | Hello all, There will be a junior route. Stays with the main route for 1.9k (as far as the marshall/turn off across the river), then comes back the same way. Happy Christmas! |
| Garrett Kelly | Dec 25 2019, 5:33pm | Is it possible to run in the djouce race if I.turn up and pay .. have my number but no voucher.. could pay somebody for spare voucher if possible.. no worries if not .. sorry for such short notice |
| Gordon Place | Dec 25 2019, 7:11pm | Hi Garrett, no pay directly on the day but someone will sell you a voucher punch off their card if you ask around at reg |
| Jim Fitzharris | Dec 26 2019, 4:45pm | Any chance of an early start? Some of us are under domestic pressure! |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 26 2019, 8:03pm | Sorry Jim, No official early start (it’s only 7.5km)! See you tomorrow. |
| Ben Conroy | Dec 26 2019, 9:58pm | Hi there, Frank Conroy will be available tomorrow to volunteer if more needed. Ben |
| Peter Bell | Dec 27 2019, 2:30pm | Thanks Gavin and team for a truly enjoyable mucky run through Djouce. Loved it! The new marking was spot on. Very easy to follow and no waste is always a good thing. Also a big thanks to all of Imra for another fun year on the hills. The 2020 calander looks great, some nice races to look forward to. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Dec 27 2019, 3:37pm | Well done and thank you to Gavan and his band of merry elves for a great post Christmas trot in the muck and the trees. It was great to see Gary Moralee and Geraldine Clements back amongst us.. we missed yiz! Also lovely to see and meet family members of our hill running friends who are sadly no longer with us, but who we remember fondly for the great love they all had for the mountains and the outdoors. May they all Rest in Peace |
| Tiernan Swan | Dec 28 2019, 7:14pm | Many thanks to Gavan and crew for a great day on the trails! Looking forward to see you all out in the hills in 2020! |
| Lillian Deegan | Dec 28 2019, 7:43pm | Msg for the guy who was to collect change at the finish line yesterday. So sorry I don't recall your name/ race No., we missed each other post race at any rate. If your reading this, will you remind me at a race in the NY and I'll pass on your few quid. Thx |
| Gavan Doherty | Dec 30 2019, 12:02pm | Hi folks, A final wrap on last Friday's race. Thanks to all the volunteers, really appreciated. I singled out John at the prizegiving but Gordon's marking was 'textbook' according to some runners, Conor O'F & Lillian were indispensable (as well as both being on the committee), great parking from Arthur/Henny, marshalling/demarking from Conor N, Anne-Marie & Patsy kept the registration flowing, as did Joe who also kept the prizegiving running smoothly, and finally superlative multi-tasking-marshalling-&-tin-whistling from Jean. It's also easy to forget that someone has a whole pile of equipment clogging up their house before & after every race (thanks John & now Angela!). I did encounter one issue which I'll raise here. I met a walker who had been in Djouce woods and said one of our runners had been less than courteous to her on one of the narrow paths. I know that's not the spirit any of us run in but I can picture a heat-of-the-moment incident where a cheery "excuse me" or apology would have made all the difference. Please bear in mind that we share the hills & forests with others. Last but not least thanks to all who took part - we're incredibly lucky to be alive and part of such a great community that gets to enjoy such a beautiful part of the world. See you on the hills in 2020. |
