| Daithi de Baróid | Jan 1 2022, 11:55pm | payment help I'm trying to pay using my Australian card/address/mobile but the page is not accepting either the phone number or country. can anyone please assist? cheers Daithi |
| Monika Tupa | Jan 2 2022, 8:59am | Morning I have same problem. Can't pay membership or entry fee . Telling me pending since 5pm yesterday. I'd like to enter before sold out please . I tried my cards 10x over . Monika |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Jan 2 2022, 9:16am | Hi guys, the problem is with the phone number. Needs to be in the format specified on the payment page. 353|871234567 this is the correct format Where 353 is the country code followed by “the pipe” | and the number without the leading 0. |
| Daithi de Baróid | Jan 2 2022, 9:41am | hi Pol in my case I'm putting 61|423668735 but I'm getting the error "Invalid length for HPP_BILLING_COUNTRY field. Please contact the merchant." |
| Yvonne Walsh | Jan 2 2022, 1:27pm | Hi it's asking me to add my imra membership to purchase ballyhoura. I've already paid and did bweeng but they had to give me a temporary number. Can you sort it? Thanks Yvonne |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Jan 2 2022, 3:48pm | Hi Yvonne, that should be ok now. Hi Daithi, that error would indicate the problem is with the country. The number is generally the most important and the main reason for failing payments. The format you have given here is correct. You could try leaving the country as Ireland and that may work. |
| Rory O Donovan | Jan 2 2022, 4:49pm | Hey, when you have a chance someone please check whether I'm included in the start list. The race is included in my purchase history and I have been charged, however I didnt receive a confirmation email. The race is also still listed in my online shop. Thanks a million, Rory. |
| Daithi de Baróid | Jan 2 2022, 5:50pm | hi pol got an Irish account to register me so hopefully I'm now on the start list. is it possible to see a course map? cheers Daithi |
| Sean Collier | Jan 3 2022, 1:36pm | Hi Pol Quick question before I enter. What kind of terrain is this on? Off trail, trails, paths? I haven't done a night race before and don't want to be tumbling around the mountain all night. Thanks Sean |
| Patricia Ryan | Jan 3 2022, 2:48pm | Sean, if you have ran trails at night before then you should be ok. It might not be suitable for someone who has no night trail running experience. The route is rough and technical in places with trail, fireroad and a bit of tarred road too. |
| Ciaran Dineen | Jan 4 2022, 8:42am | Hello. Are hiking poles permitted for this event? Thank you |
| Martin Mullane | Jan 4 2022, 10:02am | Hi guys - had similar issues with registering and just see that both my membership and the race fee were taken twice. Anyone know what I can do about that? |
| Robbie Williams | Jan 4 2022, 10:27am | Poles are welcome if you wish to use them. Re: payment issues please read forum thread called Registration Difficulties Signed up more than once ? Please contact pol; pol dot omurchu at imra dot ie |

| Alexander Muhlwald | Jan 5 2022, 10:06am | Hi Guys, I really enjoyed this event in the previous years, just surprised the Marathon distance isn’t on offer this year. |

| James Heggie | Jan 9 2022, 5:21pm | Just wondering if there will be an early start on race ? |
| Robbie Williams | Jan 9 2022, 5:30pm | You can James I think a few starting about 6-6:30pm You need to let us know when you are leaving halll |
| brian cleary | Jan 12 2022, 12:54pm | Hi Looking to get an early start, is this possible? Thanks Brian |
| Robbie Williams | Jan 12 2022, 2:04pm | That’s no problem Make sure you let the registration know when you are leaving and when you return A few are starting approx 6:30 |

| Kenny Ward | Jan 13 2022, 1:25pm | Hi, unfortunately covid has hit our house, is it possible to transfer this ticket to another event later in the year, Thanks Kenny. |
| Robbie Williams | Jan 13 2022, 9:19pm | Unfortunately IMRA has a strict no refund no transfer policy. |
| Niall Lagrue | Jan 14 2022, 8:57am | Hi Race Director/Deputy, I would like to take an early start time. Is that acceptable? Is the early start 6.30pm, please confirm? Thanks, Niall |

| DJ O'Sullivan | Jan 14 2022, 1:51pm | I've entered this but can't make it (achilles acting up). Do I have to notify anyone or will the fact that I don't sign in/register suffice? |
| Kenny Ward | Jan 14 2022, 2:48pm | Robbie, well maybe the policy could be a bit more flexible especially in covid times. |
| Robbie Williams | Jan 14 2022, 5:44pm | I have no say over this I’m afraid. |
| Barry Drennan | Jan 15 2022, 9:44am | Thanks to Robbie, Martin and all the organizers, Race was amazing, Marking was the business!!!! |
| Oliver Castle | Jan 15 2022, 10:31am | Thanks to all of the organizers and helpers. That was a great race, really enjoyed the whole race and the marking was top notch. The mist on the Seefin was an added bonus :-) |

| Pádraig Wallace | Jan 17 2022, 10:02am | Good morning, Well done on the organisation of a great race. My result is not displayed on the table of results. If you could add my time and place to results I would be most appreciative. Thank you. Pádraig Wallace M35 IMRA No. 582 |
