| Geoff Petelka | Jun 18 2022, 6:32am | Good morning Does the race start at 10am or 11am? I'm confused by the recent update. Thanks |
| Michael McSweeney | Jun 18 2022, 9:20am | Normal start is at 11am. There is an early start option at 10am, but your result won't count for the big money prizes. :-) |
| Geoff Petelka | Jun 18 2022, 4:01pm | Perfect, thanks Michael |
| Santi Hugo | Jun 20 2022, 9:32pm | Hello. I'd like to take part in the race, but have no car... Is anyone driving from Cork City, by any chance? |
| Shane O'Neill | Jun 22 2022, 12:23pm | Hi santi, if you can get a bus to fermoy I can collect you there. Let me know if its possible. |
| Nicole O Regan | Jun 22 2022, 1:28pm | Hi, do I need a timing chip for the galtee half on Saturday? I’m only in it for enjoyment not racing. |
| Michael McSweeney | Jun 22 2022, 4:18pm | Nicole. No timing chip needed on Saturday, and racing is enjoyable. :-) Micheal. |
| Santi Hugo | Jun 23 2022, 10:03am | Hello Shane, I've checked, and it sounds like complicated.... Thanks anyway! |
| John O Connor | Jun 23 2022, 11:35pm | Is there a registration process before hand or is it turn up and run job? |
| Deirdre O Gorman | Jun 24 2022, 10:22am | John, you must enter online beforehand; no entries on the day. Registration closes at 6pm today, Friday 24th. Make sure you are also signed up as an IMRA member also. |
| Ibar Murphy | Jun 24 2022, 11:06am | Hi, just wondering if there is any risk of the race being cancelled due to the yellow weather warning? Hoping it's not but travelling a long way so would be good to know well in advance if there is. |
| Michael McSweeney | Jun 24 2022, 6:39pm | No fear of it being cancelled I'd say. Should make the going under foot more interesting. :-) |
| Piotr Bergel | Jun 24 2022, 6:43pm | Hi I missed the registration, is there any chance to get entry for the race in the morning before the event, please? Piotr |

| Deirdre O Gorman | Jun 27 2022, 10:08am | A massive thanks to RD Liam and all the volunteers (especially summit marshals Jason & Johnny (I think that was your face peeking out!). Also a huge thank you to anyone who stopped to help after I sprained my ankle; in particular Paul (who had driven down from Galway and interrupted his race to let my use him as a walking stick until I could get down in to the valley), the guy with the bandage (sorry, I didn't catch your name but it was greatly appreciated!) and volunteer, Wojcieck, who walked the two miles back to the finish with me, at a painstakingly slow pace! It really shows the community spirit of IMRA that so many are so willing to help each other on the hills. |
