| Conor Murphy | Mar 29 2023, 8:00am | Is that not organised by Newcastle AC and NIMRA? |
| Lillian Deegan | Mar 29 2023, 10:05am | Yes Conor, we have linked in with above for this year. I am popping in someone to do a few bit for me. |

| REBECCA CAROLAN | May 8 2023, 2:12pm | i'd really like to to do this one, but a bit nervous re the orienteering part, relatively new to mountain running, any advice please? |
| Justin Rea | May 9 2023, 11:34am | @Rebecca this is a tough route especially in bad conditions. The navigation is not difficult as it only really involves the final section from the quarry to the finish. They sometimes mark an easy route, but this is not the quickest. It gives the locals a bit of an advantage ;-) |
| REBECCA CAROLAN | May 9 2023, 1:57pm | Thanks Justin, haven't fully decided yet, nervous about doing it on my own, might give it a miss until I'm a bit more confident on mountains. |
| Peter McEvoy | May 9 2023, 5:00pm | I’d be more worried about the nav from the carn to the quarry, easy in clear weather as you can roughly see where you need to go but in clag it’s a compass job (no real defined trail) |
| Peter O'Farrell | May 13 2023, 11:00pm | Super race today well organised by Newcastle AC in the bright warm sunshine. Results to follow but as always everyone seemed to have fun. I think it was Diane Wilson (Dromore AC) and Paul Pruzina (Pudsey and Bramley AC) who took the wins in their respective categories with Becky Quinn and Andrew Tees (BARF) keeping them honest in 2nd place. It's a super race, a hard race, from nearly sea level to the highest point in Ulster in 4.5km and then a further 3.5km to 4km to 4.5km to the finish depending on your chosen route over the trackless hillside and many tracked forestry below. |
| Lillian Deegan | May 14 2023, 1:55pm | Sounds fabulous Peter. Thanks a lot to Orla and your good self for taking care of this one on our part. Lillian |

| Andrew McGibbon | May 15 2023, 11:57am | I wonder whether my name and results could be added to the Donard Race as I plan to complete the IMRA championship. Place 129. Name Andrew Mc Gibbon Vet 55. I am a paid-up member of both NIMRA & NIMRA? |

Please note that you must have bought your annual IMRA membership by Friday 12th May 2023. Please make sure to get in touch before 31st May 2023.
