| Laura Flynn | Jul 26 2022, 3:10pm | We’re putting a shout out to all IMRA members to add your name as a volunteer for the World Masters taking place in Clonmel on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of September. We will need people for the Friday Saturday and Sunday so we’re asking for a few of hours of your time any of these days. It’s a great opportunity to get involved whether you are running or not. If you’re running in the main event on the Saturday why not help out at the open race on the Sunday or vice versa. All volunteers will get refreshments and dinner on the Saturday night at the medal ceremony. |

Henny. |
| Laura Flynn | Aug 9 2022, 4:02pm | Hi Henny and thanks for your reply. At registration we will be looking for evidence of citizenship such as a passport to allow runners compete on a team for country. |
| Desie Shorten | Aug 14 2022, 11:52am | Hi Laura, are there any markers on the course at the moment? I found it very difficult to find my way with the site map. |
| Turlough Conway | Aug 14 2022, 5:28pm | Would the M50s be interested in a zoom chat to discuss course/tactics etc. in the next few days. Happy to organize (broaden out to other categories also?)? |

| Laura Flynn | Aug 24 2022, 10:03pm | If anyone is planning on camping in Clonmel on tne Friday or Saturday nights, we’ve managed to get the use of a field very close to the race start and to the facilities at the Hillview Sports Club. If you’re interested please email me at laura.flynn@imra.ie and I’ll give you some more details. |
| Turlough Conway | Aug 26 2022, 9:50am | Masters who can still walk after their race should note that it's only a 400m walk from the finish to the second to last big climb at Scouthra Hill which is a perfect spot for cheering on the younger toddler and wobbler age categories. Seriously, it would be amazing for runners to arrive out on the open mountain and hear a gang of green cheering them up the hill. A quick walk back towards the finish the cheer them up that last climb. Could be worth a medal or three. Consider it when packing the bag for the race end. |
| Gerard Down | Aug 29 2022, 1:40pm | Hi, if nynbody is travelling by car from or through Cork City to Clonmel and could offer a left I would be delighted - happy to pay petrol money to share costs ! |
| Mick Hanney | Sep 5 2022, 3:05pm | A nice summary of the Championship races can be found here:- https://wmra.ch/news/latest-news-from-the-wmra/1018-ireland-shines-at-world-masters-mountain-running-championships A great event in Clonmel. By my count Ireland got 13 individual medals. And a bunch of team medals too. Fantastic performances and a great turn-out by Irish runners. Well done to all. The organisers did a superb job in putting this together. |
| Henny Brandsma | Sep 5 2022, 4:55pm | Great to see Ireland winning so many Medals over the weekend, everyone should be very proud and specially the local comittee and all the Imra people helpers and comittee to put Ireland internationally on the world map. |
