| Lillian Deegan | Jun 7 2021, 11:08am | 2nd race of the season in Leinster. I’m RD seeking - we have a super well tuned race marker lined up. Anyone willing to hop in and lead the race day team? |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 10 2021, 7:06pm | Hi Folks, Just a short note for the moment. I will put up more information next week.. I am looking for a Laptop Person - Volunteers and Marshalls - the more the merrier!! And yes there will be a Junior course and probably an Early Start - depending on how many Volunteers I have... Online race registration will open on Tuesday or Wednesday. Keep an eye on the forum... And as I said morel info later... |
| Roelie Smit | Jun 14 2021, 11:20am | Entries open 18:00 on 16/06/2021. Is this intentional to spread the races amongst everyone? It's round about the time some folk will be in Belmont. |
| Mark Raleigh | Jun 14 2021, 1:39pm | Hi Vivian, I'm happy to volunteer. Mark |
| Laura Flynn | Jun 14 2021, 3:16pm | The entry for this race will now open on Thursday the 17th of June at 12 noon. |
| Mark Raleigh | Jun 14 2021, 8:04pm | Got my dates wrong, apologies, can't volunteer for PWS |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 15 2021, 11:22am | Hi All, Thank you to all who have Volunteered so far. But I still need some more including a Laptop Person... |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 17 2021, 10:30am | Don't forget online entries open today at 12pm. Best of luck!! |
| Owen Fletcher | Jun 17 2021, 11:32am | Given that this race isn't fully marked this year, it's worth noting that the map shown differs from the plotaroute (the link of which is broken, it should be https://www.plotaroute.com/route/615338). I assume the plotaroute is correct although even it differs from last years route if I'm not mistaken (as it was changed to avoid some deforestation?). |
| Owen Fletcher | Jun 17 2021, 11:33am | or just tree felling, not necessarily deforestation ha |
| Stephen Brennan | Jun 17 2021, 12:16pm | I assumed all along this was on Wednesday evening, just noticed it's Saturday morning! Luckily I can make it! Really looking forward to it. I still haven't collected my first timing chip. Will I be able to pick up one there at registration? |
| Alan Ayling | Jun 17 2021, 2:15pm | Owen, The map on the maps page is correct, the Plotaroute is an old version, since which the RD has revised the route for this year. I will ask the webmaster to remove the Plotaroute. Thanks for pointing this out. |
| Owen Fletcher | Jun 17 2021, 2:37pm | @Alan Thanks for the clarification |
| Ger Power | Jun 17 2021, 6:30pm | Fo you need anymore running volunteers |
| Paul Smyth | Jun 18 2021, 12:31am | @Alan, At the split on the way out, do we go left or right? |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 18 2021, 9:09am | @Ger - thanks for the offer Ger but I am fine for volunteers now. |
| Dave Docherty | Jun 18 2021, 9:42am | Morning All. I assume 10am is the race start time. What time will race registration open at? Thanks |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 18 2021, 9:57am | Hi Folks - more info... Race registration is opening at 8.45am and will close at 9.45am Face covering must be worn at sign in - start and finish areas and the first 200 metres of the race... The Early Start is at 9.30am... The Junior course is about 4k... There will be no sign in sheet. Your name will be ticked off the list at the registration table... Race numbers and chip timing can be collected in the morning... If you ran in Belmount last Wednesday bring that race number and chip with you. You will be using these for the rest of the season... The Mandatory Kit is: A Rain Jacket and Face Covering... The Jacket must be worn or carried in the race... Car Parking is in the usual field and thanks to IMRA for covering the cost of this.... And finally please follow directions from the Volunteers... So see you all tomorrow bright and early!!!... |
| Eiviltas Evan Radavicius | Jun 18 2021, 12:18pm | Hi All, Any chance anyone has the link to Google Maps for meeting point and perhaps a mapped course on Garmin Connect? Regards Evan |
| Paul Smyth | Jun 18 2021, 9:31pm | Hi Vivian, The event pages details says: "The race route can be viewed on www.plotaroute.com." The link given goes to a page not found error message. The map shown on the map page is mostly fine but it does not indicate the direction. Where the route splits on the outward leg do we go left or right? That is do we traverse the loop clockwise or anti-clockwise? |
| Justin Rea | Jun 18 2021, 10:00pm | @Paul the route goes anti clockwise. You turn right at the split. |
| Justin Rea | Jun 18 2021, 10:07pm | @Evan. Try pasting "53.206356 -6.207628" into Google Maps for the field where we are parking |
| Stephen Brennan | Jun 19 2021, 12:48pm | Brilliant race. I loved the course and the marking. Need to work on my technical descending (as usual). My time should be 1:03:59. It's great to be back racing. Thanks to everyone involved. |
| Donatas Jocius | Jun 19 2021, 1:00pm | 770 I think was early starter |
| Conor O'Farrell | Jun 19 2021, 1:09pm | Great race. Thanks to Vivian and his team for a great event. I wasn’t expecting that second uphill on to the Wicklow Way. It fairly knocked me for six. Results are now up. Please send any queries to results@imra.ie. |
| Derek O Keane | Jun 19 2021, 1:10pm | Really enjoyed the race this morning thanks a mill guys My result is missing from the results page Race number 624 |
| Shane O'Malley | Jun 19 2021, 1:21pm | We had issues with the timing mat so going through the manual sheets shortly to correct some of the times. Will let conor know of any changes. Cheers Shane |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 19 2021, 2:40pm | Thanks to ALL the Volunteers this morning. They had to work hard... Unfortunately after the race was gone the chjp timing started to answer us back!! So we went old school - pen and paper!! The results are up. If you have any queries please send them to results @imra.ie |
| James H Cahill | Jun 19 2021, 2:51pm | Thanks Vivian and all the volunteers for a great morning in the hills. The steep and unexpected climb to Raven's Rock was a deeply unpleasant and hurtful experience. Justin Rea your Schadenfreude is noted! Great route. The marking was a sight to behold a combination of fluttering tape, mini flags and encouraging Marshalls. Great hour (or so!) in the hills. Thank you all |
| Laura Flynn | Jun 19 2021, 3:10pm | Adding my few words of thanks here to Vivian and all his team for putting on a great race today. Hats off to Shane O’Malley for getting results up so quickly and for stepping into the role as it’s always a difficult one to fill. The route was a perfect combination of fire-road, trail and technical climbs and descents. Well done to Justin and, I think, Alan for devising it and especially to Justin for the background work he did with local landowners and Coillte. |
| Henny Brandsma | Jun 19 2021, 3:20pm | Great race today on a magnificent new course, wel done to Vivian and al his helpers, enjoyed really to be out today. |
| Barry Minnock | Jun 19 2021, 3:58pm | Thank you and well done Vivian, Justin, Shane and all the crew. Only fabulous to be back racing. Great route. Nice to get a win also kindly assisted by an orienteer being used to maps rather than flags :) Minor corrections needed to results released early starters - expected when manual. |
| Richard Fox | Jun 19 2021, 4:30pm | Thanks to everyone for the organisation for this mornings race. So enjoyable and lovely to be out on such a wonderful course. My number is 721 and my time should be 1:04:32. Thanks again |
| paddy Corrigan | Jun 19 2021, 4:41pm | Hi lads I'm 770 . I was early starter. As good as it looks seeing my name on top. |
| Ger Power | Jun 19 2021, 7:11pm | Hi I did the long course I was an early starter and my time was1.17.37 can you please adjust the results. Thanks Ger |
| Peter Bell | Jun 19 2021, 10:41pm | Some photos up from today. It was another great event run by Vivian. Well done to all racing. Nice day for it. Its great to be back! |
| Conor O'Farrell | Jun 20 2021, 6:39pm | Hi All I am aware of a few incorrect times, due to early starters not being correctly assigned (my bad). I will get them updated shortly, please bare with me. In the meantime, any further queries should go to results@imra.ie. Note that I cannot track the forum to corrections, so please use the email address. Thanks Con |
| Alan Ayling | Jun 20 2021, 10:20pm | Hmmmm... "bare with me"... typo or obscure reference to a naked warrior dance? |
| Sarah Brady | Jun 20 2021, 10:41pm | Pics are great! Thanks so much to Vivian and team for a lovely morning out yesterday, so good to be back racing. :) |
| Ellie O'Donoghue | Jun 21 2021, 11:45am | Big thanks to VIvian and team for Saturday. Great to get back to out after such a long break. Ellie very much enjoyed her first race and seeing what really happens when I disappear into the hills for a run. ("Dad just goes into the forest and eats jellies"). |
| Mick Hanney | Jun 21 2021, 8:04pm | Hmm. Entries still on sale for this race? :-) |
| Eiviltas Evan Radavicius | Jun 21 2021, 8:32pm | Thanks all for organising the race on Saturday. Enjoyed it as my first race :) |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 24 2021, 6:38pm | Hi All, As you know car parking is a priority for nearly all of our race. There is usually a charge for this of €3. On Saturday last for the PWS race we gave the farmer €200 for the use of his field. But we rarely hear what they do with this money. So I'm delighted to tell you that our farmer gave the money to Purple House in Bray. It is a cancer support center. They have been in touch with IMRA and are delighted to have received the money. So a big thank you to everyone. |
