Rachel CinnsealachFeb 13 2011, 11:02pmHi Folk's,

I am looking for some running and non running volunteers for the Trooperstown race next Sunday.

Conor BranganFeb 13 2011, 11:20pmHi Rachel,

I can volunteer as a runner, provisional on getting a lift from another volunteer though so I'm there in time! I'm in the Dublin 12 area but can travel to the city centre or down to Dundrum/Balally to meet up with a lift, would you know if any of the other volunteers would be coming from that general direction?

Conor
Donal TroddynFeb 14 2011, 10:36amI'm in the same boat as Conor. I'm in Dun Laoghaire, and if any other volunteer has a spare seat heading down from anywhere in the South city, I could make it to them. Otherwise, I'll be pedaling down, and wouldn't get there early enough to help out in any meaningful way.
Eavan CaseyFeb 14 2011, 5:19pmHi Conor/Donal,

I am volunteering too and will be driving from near UCD if you both still need a lift.Can you email me at eavan.casey1 at gmail dot com and we can sort out where and when.
angela flynnFeb 15 2011, 10:42amhi

Mirjam AllikFeb 16 2011, 8:01amHi,

I'd like to go out to that race with a friend, but we would need a lift from Dublin. Anyone have space?
Thanks,
Mirjam
Torben DahlFeb 16 2011, 8:30amMirjam, I am going to the race leaving from Dublin 1. I have space for you and your friend.

Ken BarryFeb 17 2011, 1:28pmJust checking where registration is, the Coach House Roundwood, correct ?
Stuart ScottFeb 17 2011, 1:52pmHi all,

I will have IMRA Yearbooks for sale at the Trooperstown event. These hardcover books contain articles and full colour photos, capturing the highlights of the 2010 season. It's a great way of explaining to the 'uninitiated' why we all love running in the hills and that we're not entirely mad. Also guaranteed to generate conversation in any setting. However, the main reason for buying a copy is to give you a chance to censor it (or get the excuses ready)...350 photos means you have a high chance of featuring!

For a better description and some sample pages, see http://imra.ie/yearbook

I hope to have them available at registration, and will definitely be in the pub after the race. The cost is e15.

Stuart.

Coachhouse is prizegiving location and good place to carpool from. Registration will be at Trooperstown - drive through Roundwood and Annamoe heading to Laragh and about a mile after Annamoe, turn into the left - you'll see a sign for the Mountain Rescue base

John ShielsFeb 20 2011, 8:31pmHi all,

Brendan LawlorFeb 21 2011, 10:37amGreat race yesterday - well done Rachel and helpers.

There were one or two folk wearing headphones - this is not allowed at IMRA events as it is very dangerous... you won't hear other runners if they call or warn you. No doubt the people concerned are new and don't mean to upset race organisers or old time hill runners but if you do see anyone wearing the offending items perhaps have a quick word to put them right :)
Rene BorgFeb 21 2011, 8:47pmTeam results are up.
Mick HanneyFeb 21 2011, 8:50pmAny budding race reporters out there?
