| Ewan Cunningham | May 12 2025, 7:21am | Hi everyone, First race of the new Galway League coming up soon in Kylebrack Woods and it’s a cracker of a race! Starting the league off strong with this relatively flat course winding through the woods of Kylebrack. Suitable for beginners, it’s a great course with a mix of single Forrest trail, open bog trail (very dry don’t worry!) and a small bit of fire road! Junior and short course is just over 4k and the main race will be 11k. Make sure you try get to this as it’s a brand new race and we could have a route of the year on our hands here! Anyone around to volunteer let me know I’ll take all the help I can get and I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon! Ewan. |
| Patricia Ryan | May 12 2025, 11:07am | Yeah, I've ran this course and it's great fun. Looking forward to it. |
| Miriam Maher | May 12 2025, 11:34am | Looking forward to this one. Big shout out too to our youngest RD ever, Ewan, taking this race on! Please support Ewan by signing up to volunteer and ensure this event is a great success as it kick starts the Galway League. Miriam |

| Ewan Cunningham | May 28 2025, 8:59am | Hi Everyone, maps of both long and short courses are up for you all to look at! Hope to see ye soon! Any other questions or queries let me know. |
| Ewan Cunningham | Jun 2 2025, 2:07pm | Course is looking good now after a lot of cleaning up! Entry now open also, so make sure you get yourself booked in! Hopefully we will have a cracking day for it and with Loughrea only over the road for a post race plunge… |
| Robert Cunningham | Jun 2 2025, 2:36pm | Hi Denise, Thanks for volunteering. I've added you to the volunteer list on the event page. Ewan will send an email to all volunteers a few days before with information. I was up in Kylebrack woods yesterday and ran the route for the race, it's a very good course with technical forrest trail and fast fire road. Lovely little pub across the road aswell for refreshments. |
| Aidan Hogan | Jun 2 2025, 2:57pm | Hi Ewan, Great to see this new course and a new generation of race directors cutting their teeth. Is the junior race / short course starting at same time a long course or are they staggered? What is lower age limit for juniors? |
| Ewan Cunningham | Jun 2 2025, 8:15pm | Hi Aidan, Junior race starting at 10:15 and is 4km. Juniors must be at least 6 years old on the day of the race to be able to participate! Hope this helps. |
| Aidan Hogan | Jun 2 2025, 8:33pm | That’s great. Thanks Ewan. |
