| Tom Blackburn | Jun 24 2021, 12:28am | Hi Lads, The world masters is going to be held in Austria in September. If you are interested in going please join the chat add your name and category. The sooner we get teams together the better. If any of you have researched flights and accommodation that information would be appreciated. Some of the lads in NIMRA may be interested in signing up with us to make up teams so if you have contact with some of the lads it would be great to let them know what we are looking to do. THANKS. |

| Ian Conroy | Aug 10 2021, 8:56am | I'm flying in and out with Ryanair, arriving on the Thursday and back on the Tuesday via Vienna then getting the train to and from Innsbruck, maybe a local bus or a taxi from there to Telfes. Brian Furey is also running, but going via Munich. I think Sean Quirke is also going, so that would be a M40 team. |
| Ian Conroy | Aug 10 2021, 9:03am | Just checked there, we're all entered. |

| Dariusz Gazdowicz | Sep 5 2021, 5:35pm | I found something like that. https://my.raceresult.com/163337/participants?&lang=en#0_E9925C |
| Lindie Naughton | Sep 5 2021, 8:55pm | Thank you - and well done on finding it. Best result - Gerard Maloney of SBR AC 2nd M60.

| Brendan Lawlor | Sep 6 2021, 11:30am | Well done to all our Masters Athletes with fine performances all round The clock starts ticking now to Ireland's hosting of the 2022 event.. it should be great ! |
| Gerard Maloney | Sep 6 2021, 12:38pm | Proud to be an Irish mountain runner ,even prouder to be Irish and from Wexford. 2nd in the world in M60 category and silver medalist. Thanks to imra for all the races |
| Seán Manning | Sep 6 2021, 12:40pm | Well done to our masters representatives in Austria. Mighty performances. Will next years event in Clonmel be in September |
| Robert Malseed | Sep 6 2021, 12:59pm | Got back home safely. The drive back to Munich Sunday morning was delayed by a major accident near Munich. Had a fantastic time, a beautiful wonderful place, but didn't enjoy the trauma of such a tough run up a steep mountain. I didn't even get to sample the poitín...my singing was awful as well. Emer i found your gaelforce bandana in the car. I washed it and get it to you ASAP. Well done everyone who went |
| Robert Malseed | Sep 6 2021, 1:01pm | If anyone got any photos, from your own cameras or off the websites, then please get them posted on to here. |
| Conor Nolan | Sep 6 2021, 5:30pm | Congrats to all, but in particular to Ger Maloney for the Silver in his first World's as M60. His performances show that age is just a number. |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 11 2021, 7:22pm | Congrats to all especially to Ger - great achievement. @Tom - any chance at the odd run out of the proposed route to be used next year in Ireland? We should try to link in with interested candidates. The recent event there clashed with a local hill race we were hosting. Thanks. |
| Lillian Deegan | Sep 11 2021, 10:03pm | There is a plan in the pot for November Mick. It’s hoped that the AGM can be had down Munster way this year. A run about the race route for next year is being looked at by the local organising crew. More anon |
| Robert Malseed | Oct 27 2021, 1:54pm | Unfortunately I have been fraudulently scammed by the tolls in Austria, despite the fact that we purchased the digital vignette prior to driving into Austria. So I have paid the fine in order to create a theft part of a fraud deception case. The fine is €120, so I will be pursuing this matter |
