| niamh heffernan | May 11 2023, 11:52am | Hi there, is there an early start available ? |
| Michael McSweeney | May 13 2023, 12:31am | Niamh, Yes an early start will be possible as the course will be fully marked. You may be ahead of the marshalls at the water stations though. Just inform the volunteers at race registration that you are taking an early start, and they will send you on your way. Micheal. |
| Seán Manning | May 14 2023, 11:56am | What time will the volunteers need to arrive on Saturday |
| Michael McSweeney | May 14 2023, 6:34pm | Sean 10am at Castletownbere Sports Hall. It's behind Colaiste Colm. Drive through town, past the Garda Station, next left, then up the hill. That's the hill the Challenge and Ultra will finish on. :-) |
| Michael McSweeney | May 14 2023, 10:00pm | Sorry Sean. Not Colaiste Colm, but Scoil Phobail Bheara. Wrong Cork town. |
| Bojan Povsic | May 15 2023, 6:49pm | Hi, is Sports Hall start of the race as well? Where are registrations? How many water stations and at which points of the race cca? Thank you. |
| Michael McSweeney | May 16 2023, 1:29am | Bojan, Start, finish and registration will all take place at the sports hall. There will be two water stations, the first at about 11km, the second at about 19 km. But that's a big 'about'. I'm not really sure what cca is? We will put up a few more details on the event page tomorrow evening. Micheal. |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | May 18 2023, 12:13pm | Can Volunteers for this event meet at the sports hall behind Beara Community School at 10am Saturday morning |

| Judith Kimenai | May 19 2023, 2:25pm | Hi, just wondering if I could sign up for this event tomorrow at the start. I completely missed the messaging about this event (my own fault), and I eould like to check whether it's still possible to run it. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Judith |
| Eric Kelleher | May 19 2023, 5:51pm | Hi Judith. If you can't enter tomorrow I have an entry for the half but I am unable to attend now. If it's possible to transfer to your name you can have my entry or if it's allowed you could run under my name if you wanted ? Eric |
| Eoin Keith | May 19 2023, 6:13pm | Judith, all IMRA races are online entry only. If you missed the entry window then you can't participate in the race. No transfers are allowed. Eric, running under someone else's number would be a very serious safety issue, Please don't ever enable that. |
| Judith Kimenai | May 19 2023, 7:06pm | Hi Eoin, Thanks for the clear explanation. I'll pay better attention next time. Eric, thanks for the offer. As I understand from Eoin, it is not allowed to transfer tickets. I appreciate your effort to help me out, though! |
| Dominic Manning | May 20 2023, 10:30am | Had to pull out of volunteering (told Michael privately already), issues with my car that only cropped up last night. Very sorry but will make it up at future events. |
| Derek Hay | May 20 2023, 10:08pm | A big thanks to Kristan and the team of volunteers for putting on a great event today, it's an amazing route, as remote as it gets with a bit of everything mixed in... Even the weather played ball!! |
| Brian Flannelly | May 20 2023, 10:44pm | Results are now up for this event - any questions/queries on them, please email: brian <dot> flannelly <at> imra <dot> ie |
| Claire Mullins | May 22 2023, 10:31am | This was a super event. A really nice route. Well done to all involved! Thanks to the volunteers! |
