| Eamonn Hodge | Jun 7 2023, 11:19am | This is the best race going. I've never felt so looked after during a race. Fruit and jellies and water and Coke being offered at every checkpoint. Dedicated first aid care applying plasters to my feet (thanks Lilian!). The design of the race means you're able to drop out after 25k or 55k or continue on for the full 80k. A great introduction to Ultra running. Not gonna lie, the last 25k to Glenmalure and back were tough! |
| Steven Pettigrew | Jun 8 2023, 3:00pm | I agree with Eamonn. First time I went over the marathon distance.was with this race last year and it's Ideal for anyone looking to step into ultra running as you're never too far away from the base. The forums were great as well with Avril giving a ton of advice. |

| Seán Meehan | Jun 12 2023, 10:34am | I forgot to book on and was looking forward to itis there any chance of late entries |
| James Tucker | Jun 12 2023, 8:33pm | Hi Seán, sorry you missed the entry window. Unfortunately we can't open back up for late entries. If you'd like there are still some volunteering slots available but I'm afraid that's the only involvement I can offer you in this year's race. Hopefully we'll see you on the start line again next year. |
| Seán Meehan | Jun 12 2023, 8:41pm | That's no problem thanks anyways hope the day goes well |

| Damian Conway | Jun 30 2023, 2:00pm | Hi, last Imra race I did was Maurice Mullins and someone mistakenly took my race number. Do I need to purchase one ahead of tomorrow or will there be one there for me? |
| Adolfo Garcia | Jun 30 2023, 2:48pm | Hello James and Greg, I'm sick so won't be attending to the race. Have all a great race day! |
| Orenczuk Kamil | Jun 30 2023, 5:11pm | Hi Eoin, did you get your lift sorted? did you get your lift sorted? could give you a lift on the way to the race, not sure about the return, ping me on 0851047471 |
| James Tucker | Jun 30 2023, 5:40pm | Hi Damian, the race number you used at the Ballyhoura Trail Ultra (the last race listed in your results) should be sufficient for tomorrow. Or if you don't have this one anymore then unfortunately yes you will have to purchase a replacement for tomorrow. |
| Eoin Keith | Jun 30 2023, 5:51pm | Thanks Orenczuk, I did get sorted earlier. Thanks for offering. See you in Glendalough tomorrow! |
| Damian Conway | Jun 30 2023, 7:22pm | Hi James, No worries, have purchased a new number. Thanks |
| Phil behan | Jul 1 2023, 10:09pm | A huge thanks to James, Greg, Lillian, Brendan and all the amazing volunteers at the aid stations at todays race. This event just keeps on getting better. Well done for all who gave their time so we could run around the laps ! Thanks again it’s very much appreciated. |
| Richard Moriarty | Jul 2 2023, 4:57pm | A day that had everything Many thanks to James, Lillian and all the organisers and volunteers who made the transitions so smooth and thanks to all the runners who passed by on the out & backs with various words of encouragement The feeling of accomplishment outweighs the sore legs |
| Eoin Mac Mahon | Jul 3 2023, 1:14pm | Thanks to all the volunteers, this is a great race. |
