| Daryl Mossop | Sep 23 2021, 1:40am | It's highly likely to be your phone number, it's needs to be 353|871234567 The | is unusual be necessary.. Will there be a GPX file with the route at some stage of this race? |
| Mary McAuliffe | Sep 24 2021, 3:54pm | I had trouble paying until I entered my details without auto fill.. That seemed to work |
| gary relihan | Oct 10 2021, 9:30pm | Hi, first race this year so will need a number on the night, 217, cheers |
| Gerard Down | Oct 13 2021, 10:47am | Just checking if the time - 19.30 - for race start is correct ? If so this will be a night race requiring headlamps ? |
| John J Barry | Oct 13 2021, 1:20pm | Correct - night time run. We had a full marathon in January in the dark for the last couple of years too. Hopefully its back in the new year https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=4448525265240622&id=405709882855534 |

| Colm O Connor | Oct 27 2021, 9:23pm | Hi, is the full route signposted or is GPS navigation a requirement? |

| Paul Murray | Oct 29 2021, 9:45am | Hi there, just wonder if the route is fully marked (like Ballyhoura) or is GPS navigation necessary? |
| Robbie Williams | Oct 30 2021, 7:46am | All fully marked You should have all got the emails |
| Mary Boyce | Oct 30 2021, 8:00am | Hi. Just wondering is there an early start option for slower runners? |

| Kieran Lynch73 | Oct 30 2021, 2:40pm | Hi Robbie, I volunteered for this but haven't heard anything, do you still need me? |
| Declan Cunningham | Oct 30 2021, 11:20pm | Very enjoyable race. Massive thanks to all the volunteers who made it happen! |
| David Foley | Oct 31 2021, 12:41am | That was awesome. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this happen. |
| Iain O'Callaghan | Oct 31 2021, 6:28am | Thanks to the organising team and all the volunteers for putting on a great event. Brilliantly organised and lots of fun. |
| Robbie Williams | Oct 31 2021, 8:33am | Really happy people enjoyed this event.. Had been planning the course in my head since last summer snd kept changing it every time I ran it :) Huge thank you to the volunteers who helped me in all capacities… Paul Carroll, Emer (my wife), Dean & Scott (who cycled most of course with me marking it yesterday), Maire O Sullivan, Brian and Julie Byrne (who travelled from Kerry and stayed over in their camper to help), Noreen O Keeffe, Kieran Lynch, Richard Forrest, Niall League, Damien Mc Donnell, Ted Feehan, Mike Halahan (who after his run went and picked up injured runner), Gary Healy, Derek Walsh & Sister Louise Heffernan with John Halahan who swept and de marked the course. I know there are a few more so apologies if I have left you out. Once again so happy to be involved with a great selfless group who help to get these events running. If you are new to this welcome and feel free to ask about lending a hand every few races so we can all get a chance to run. Here’s to what was a great night in the woods and I hope ye all had fun ! Oh yes… thanks to Shep my four legged companion who covers every mile with me :) |
| Mary McAuliffe | Oct 31 2021, 9:02am | So well organised, signage was super, so glad my fears of get back lost in the dark were unfounded.. Also glad I didn't buy new trail runners before the event! Thanks a million to everyone who made it happen |
| Karen Kenny | Oct 31 2021, 9:37am | Second all the above. Great event. For those of us local to these woods (& there was a good few) it was great to see some of their potential being realised while beating the crap out of ourselves along the way. Conversely to Mary above..... i'm glad i did buy new trail runners for the event!! Well done to all involved. There's serious time spent planning & doing the route checking for these events..... it's much appreciated. |
| Ian Hutchinson | Oct 31 2021, 9:47am | Thanks Robbie and all volunteers, great craic and extremely well organised - much appreciated |
| Stephen O Keeffe | Oct 31 2021, 9:54am | Thanks to all the volunteers for an absolutely brilliant race last night. Brilliant course. Very glad I bought new trails runners given that whole muddy section leading to and then around by the aid station, I didn't fall once which is a miracle for me! Loved the two sets of fairy lights, gave it a magic feel. Ran my fastest ever trail half marathon. And those protein ball things were actually very tasty. |
| Mary McAuliffe | Oct 31 2021, 10:09am | Yes indeed my old trail runners can now be safely put to bed! |
| Michael Bailey | Oct 31 2021, 11:39am | Thanks to all the race volunteers for last nights race, it was well organised and a super course. |
| George Rickard | Oct 31 2021, 11:59am | A very sore but happy runner here today! I'm really humbled by the generosity of the organisers and volunteers of these events but particularly last night. I am motivated to support and do my fair share of volunteering. Thank you Robbie and all the volunteers for a truly memorable experience. It was an exceptional event! |
| Brian Flannelly | Oct 31 2021, 7:55pm | Results are now up for this event - any questions/queries on them, please email: brian <dot> flannelly <at> imra <dot> ie |
| Barry Walsh | Nov 1 2021, 9:45am | Huge thanks to all who put that race together, Robbie, Shep and the team of volunteers who stuck it out in the dark for the evening. Fantastic course, heavy going, free flowing and some (bonus) river crossings - would make a great summer race too. Marking was perfect and being my first night time race I needn't have had any worries about navigation. Took a slip in some of the sloppy stuff but sure skin grows back and the positives far outweigh the negatives every time. Again - thanks to all for a year of great races none of which would happen without the volunteer support and RD's time input. |
