| Shane Lynch | Jun 26 2025, 4:55pm | We're still looking for more volunteers for this race. We need a first aider in particular but some more helpers in general so we can have some marshals at critical points on the course. Early arriving running volunteers could man the entrance gate to the parking to collect parking fee and also to keep sheep in before heading to do your race. |
| Stuart Scott | Jul 1 2025, 12:19pm | Shepherd would make a nice new volunteer role! |
| Brian Kitson | Jul 4 2025, 9:21am | Advance planning query: is there a way to get to this race after work from Dublin city centre via public transport/car pool ? |
| Shane Lynch | Jul 4 2025, 8:26pm | We are desparately in need of a first aider for the event to go ahead. If you can help, please sign up. It takes 1 hour from the start of the M1/M50 junction to get to the event parking. If you know a good travel option such as a north side park and ride please share here on the forum. For those of you that can make it, will get the pleasure of the fast, twisty and technical descent of Foyle's way. It was constructed and then reconstructed after the floods in November 2023 completly by local volunteers. Finger food and prizegiving will be as soon as possible after in the Lumpers. I will email volunteers directly a few days before the event. |

| Jeff Swords | Jul 4 2025, 10:23pm | It's a fantastic location and there's no better pub than Lumpers as a post race. The route Shane mentions that follows the river is a stand out of all Leinster races. For once Northsiders or those working that side of the city are at an advantage in not having to deal with the length of the M50/M11 on a Wednesday evening and I think either the N3 Navan Road station, M3 Parkway station or Broombridge Luas depot are good spots for carpooling with any of us lucky enough to be on that side of the city to hook up with anyone coming from the city centre . All are short journeys from the city centre and at that point you've missed the worst of the M50 northbound congestion. |
| Shane Lynch | Jul 5 2025, 8:48am | That's great Clare - thank you. Thanks Jeff for the travel options and yes the Lumpers has become a "destination" pub. |
