Andrew MooreJan 26 2025, 1:15pmApologies

I see it in race rules.

Also, can you delete forum post. I can't see an option.
Richard NunanJan 26 2025, 1:23pmHi Andrew,

We don't have the option to delete a forum post.
But I'll start a new one on MMU once I get all updated.

Thanks and see you on the hills soon.
Andrew MooreJan 27 2025, 7:20amThanks Richard,

:)
Eoin McDonnellJan 31 2025, 7:56amHi Richard,

Sorry to repeat a question, I know a few people who are away on either the 22nd or 29th. Is the race definitely the 22nd?

Thanks
Richard NunanJan 31 2025, 8:16amHi Eoin,

Apologies for the confusion. The event will now go ahead on the 29th of March due to logistical challenges.

I will update the events page tonight. Entries will open Monday.

Thanks

Rich
Niamh FitzpatrickJan 31 2025, 8:40amGlad to hear race is guaranteed for the 29th March. Thanks for confirming
Richard NunanFeb 1 2025, 9:27amGreat to hear you will make it Niamh along with more of the crew I hope.

Couple of small points.

Entry's will open tomorrow morning 2nd of Feb
The race is not a Qualifier this year for the Euros.
There will not be an early start- the start time has been moved back and the Cutoffs moved forward to accommodate this. It's based on last years times.
We will not be including Maulin on the way out or the way back. HURRAH!
Brian KitsonFeb 1 2025, 3:58pmLooking forward to it. The entry fee is set to €30. Why the price increase? It was €25 last year (just €20 in 2021).
Richard NunanFeb 2 2025, 9:06amMorning Entries are now open.

Brian - first price increase in 7 years.

Price increase is to cover the increase in price of mugs (due to material costs and electricity) that have iteratively increased by a euro year on year over (4 euro) and we will have those delicious Gourmet Hot Dogs (7 euro) for everyone, you may have missed them last year.

Thanks
Eoin McDonnellFeb 2 2025, 10:00am30 euro is very reasonable for a 50km
Dave EvansFeb 2 2025, 10:39am30 euros is unbelievably reasonable these days for an ultra Eoin

MMU is and always has been the best value for money ultra race in Ireland.
Andreas MalyFeb 2 2025, 3:21pmPrice is really fair compared to other events. Races are always very well organized.
Alistair HodgettFeb 2 2025, 4:53pmNo Maulin, one start time...all great stuff. Any chance that some of those Gourmet Hot Dogs are vegetarian :)
Richard NunanFeb 2 2025, 5:10pmAlastair, we had Veggie and Vegan last year. Will work on the same this year.

It's All to race for :-)
