| Conor Brady | Jan 10 2020, 10:17pm | Junior race - how does registration for juniors work? What are the race entry costs? What age restrictions apply? Young lad wants to enter but this will be my first IMRA event, so I'm not even confident of what I've to do myself. |
| Niamh Kelly | Jan 10 2020, 11:27pm | Hi Conor, you picked a good first race, it's always a fun day out You sign them up on MyIMRA and then purchase the annual membership online. Registration lasts for a calendar year. There is an annual registration fee (€5 for juniors & OAPs) €10 for Adults. Race fees are €7 with a reduced entry of €5 for juniors & OAPs. There are two options for paying for a race. You may pre-enter the race online (to be done before 6pm the day before the race) or you may purchase a booklet of vouchers €50 (at a reduced fee of 5 euro per race) and use this booklet to may for the race on the night more information can be found here https://www.imra.ie/beginners/ keep an eye on the event page more information will be posted closer to the event Niamh |
| Ann Marie O'Brien | Jan 11 2020, 10:39am | Conor, Also have a read of forum post "Want to try an IMRA Race in 2020? Here's how". Some useful questions and answers there. |
| Conor Brady | Jan 11 2020, 8:14pm | Thank you both! Looking forward to it. |
| Edel Kehoe | Jan 13 2020, 11:35am | Hi, I have been trying to enter this event but I cannot find a link. Can you please let me know how to enter this race? I have the 2020 membership. Regards Edel |
| Niamh Kelly | Jan 13 2020, 12:10pm | Hi Edel, Online registration will open the week before the race, so if you check back then and you will find it in the online entries or another way you can do it is purchase a race voucher and come along on the day and use it. Niamh |

| Daniel Quinn | Jan 21 2020, 1:28pm | Hi guys is there age limits for the junior race |
| John J Barry | Jan 21 2020, 5:17pm | Daniel, There was a comment on another post from our new Junior Officer Miriam Maher https://www.imra.ie/forum/topic/id/5462 QUOTE ".... - we're currently working on fine tuning the ages ranges and applicable distances for juniors in the races. Expect to have this information ready to put up by the end of this month. .... " |
| Miriam Maher | Jan 21 2020, 5:28pm | Hi Daniel Yes, John's right - we're currently clarifying the rules around juniors for the races. I hope to have that information available this week. Can you bear with me for a day or two? Juniors always welcome at the races regardless and Castlecomer will have choices for a few junior age groups. Thanks Miriam |
| Cormac MacDonnell | Jan 26 2020, 6:45pm | Hi folks , still looking for a first aider and a few more non run helpers for Castlecomer DP race next Sunday ! Cormac |
| Ben Conroy | Feb 1 2020, 12:40pm | Hi Cormac, I volunteered as a helper. Am I needed? Thanks Ben |
| Cormac MacDonnell | Feb 1 2020, 3:16pm | Hi Ben - answer is yes , if you can make it ! Cormac RD |
| Cormac MacDonnell | Feb 1 2020, 3:21pm | Notice to all Race Helpers for Castlecomer DP race tomorrow - can you be at the Discovery Park Centre for 9.45 for a race briefing. Also, drop me a message if you are unable to be there. Thanks Cormac ( RD CDP Race) |
| Conor Brady | Feb 1 2020, 4:50pm | Having difficulty registering on the site for a junior, to do race tomorrow. Waiting for an auth code that's not arriving. Is this just us or is there a known problem? |
| Jason Dowling | Feb 1 2020, 4:59pm | Hi Conor, It has come to our attention that indeed some e-mail providers may have IMRA mails blocked or something similar. We've had to deal with a number of instances for the yahoo domain. The solution was to use an e-mail address from the likes of gmail or outlook. This is on our to-do list of items to investigate further. Hope that helps, Jason. |
| Conor Brady | Feb 1 2020, 5:26pm | Thanks, Jason. Up against time now - hope we make the 6pm or it'll be picture and no sound tomorrow. |
| Conor Brady | Feb 1 2020, 5:32pm | Sorted |
| Neil Gunning | Feb 1 2020, 5:49pm | Hey Cormac I put my race number somewhere really safe after Glengarra, so safe I can’t seem to find it anywhere - scouring the house at the moment - if I can’t come across it can I still run tomorrow? Race purchased etc. No.891 Usually well organised for these Neil |
| Jason Dowling | Feb 1 2020, 5:55pm | Hi Conor, Great to hear you got sorted and that you'll have picture and sound tomorrow :) Can you let us know what e-mail domain you originally provided (i.e was it from yahoo, gmail or one of similar providers). The domain is the part of the e-mail address after the @ symbol. I'm not interested in the part before the @ symbol. It'll help us and possibly others resolve this issue as it has happened a few times previously for others. Thanks, Jason. |
| Niamh Kelly | Feb 1 2020, 7:34pm | Hi Neil, You can collect a replacement number in the morning its 5 euro for a new one or a punch on the voucher card. Niamh |
| Conor Brady | Feb 1 2020, 8:40pm | Hi Jason, It was rocketmail.com (I think it's a relative of yshoo) |
