Dáithí de Mórdha | Jun 17 2025, 10:25am | Entries are now open for the Brandon Vertical 2025 (and for all 3 races of the Dingle Trail Running Weekend) Friday 11th July 7.30pm Test yourself on the most westerly trail race in Europe, and the perfect warmup for the Brandon Ridge Half Marathon the following day! If you are down for the weekend and running one or two of the races, you might think of volunteering for another - as you all know, no IMRA volunteers = no IMRA races! |
Dáithí de Mórdha | Jul 7 2025, 11:44am | Last few days to register for this - the most westerly VK in Europe, and the perfect way to kick off the Dingle Trail Running Weekend! |
Ian Conroy | Jul 7 2025, 5:21pm | Anyone heading here from Dublin on Friday, or can they give me a lift from a major spot on the day such as Tralee, Dingle or Killlarney? |
Sorcha Loughnane | Jul 7 2025, 7:04pm | Ian I’m heading down from Dublin but you might not want to share a backseat all the way from Dublin with my kids (I know I wouldn’t). If you’d prefer to get a train to Tralee I could collect you from there. |
Mick Hanney | Jul 10 2025, 4:03pm | Hi Barry, is it possible to confirm the kit requirements for the race tomorrow evening in advance, thanks, Mick |
Dáithí de Mórdha | Jul 11 2025, 3:29pm | Hi Mick, it looks like only the basic kit will be required - phone, jacket, buff, hat etc - and water if you think you'll need it! |
Mick Hanney | Jul 11 2025, 11:09pm | Thanks Daithi and helpers, especially those marshalling up and on the mountain, for a great event. A fabulous weather day with clear views, warm with a cooling breeze. Great visibility from the top (finish line). A tough but enjoyable race. |
Sorcha Loughnane | Jul 11 2025, 11:12pm | Thanks Daithí and volunteers, a brilliant race in a fabulous place. Look forward to running up that hill again tomorrow… |

Dáithí de Mórdha | Yesterday, 8:55pm | Thanks for the report and the kind words Mick, You're right - 9/10 times you would barely be able to see the summit cross! Well done to all who started and finished! Go raibh maith agaibh ar fad |
