Eiviltas Evan RadaviciusApr 9 2023, 8:57pmHi, would like to second the request for a GPX route for pacing.
vivian mullallyApr 10 2023, 11:21amHi
I am assuming you can just run this event and do not need to be competing in the chapionchip
Thanks Viv
Walsh RowanApr 10 2023, 9:18pmThis is the 2021 route.

https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2212952

It is a fairly established route so shouldn't change too much.
Walsh RowanApr 10 2023, 9:21pmHi Vivian, you are correct. You do not need to take part in all races to enter.
Declan GormanApr 19 2023, 9:14pmI havent picked u my 2023 IMRA number yet, can it be collected on the Sat morning before the 42/60k?

Sean NolanApr 21 2023, 10:28amHi, do we need a chip for the race?
Aaron FennellApr 21 2023, 10:50amHi, will there be an option to change distance before or on the day of the race?
Robbie WilliamsApr 21 2023, 2:15pmNo chips, unless they give that instead of rice with the curry after …..

Distance change to a shorter distance is allowed
Edward MurphyApr 24 2023, 11:10pmHi,

Trying to figure out travel times before booking as need to travel
from Dublin after work Friday.

Eddie.
Robbie WilliamsApr 25 2023, 6:15pmHour before is grand
Ian SynnottApr 26 2023, 4:39pmHi,
So do we need to have registered no more than an hour before race start? Or am i reading that incorrectly?
Robbie WilliamsApr 26 2023, 8:57pmLads race start 7am

Registration around 6-6:30am

School open 5:45am so ye can use toilets etc

Race briefing 6:50am in hall make sure you are there for that !
Eiviltas Evan RadaviciusApr 28 2023, 8:40amMorning, is there an option to switch to a shorter race tomorrow? Ankle not in the best shape :(

Brian O'GradyApr 29 2023, 5:09pmHi Robbie
I had brain fog after the run and left without picking up my drop bags.
There's a pair of shoes in each one. Is there somewhere I could pick them up over the next few days? I'm happy to travel any distance.
Thanks for a great event as usual.
Brian
Stephen O KeeffeApr 29 2023, 5:54pmI think Damien McDonnell might have them. We found a bag with runners while cleaning up
Robbie WilliamsApr 29 2023, 5:57pmYes Brian

There are 2 pairs left there. I think yours are in a UTMB bag. They are in the imra van. Will be at race tomorrow in Seefin, if not suits, will be at Garyduff on Wednesday night and at 3 Counties after that so whatever suits.
Brendan CollinsApr 29 2023, 6:03pmThanks for a great race lads.
Declan GormanApr 29 2023, 7:25pmThanks for a great day everyone involved. I met some extraordinary people today.
Brian O'GradyApr 30 2023, 10:50amGrand. I'll come to Seefin this morning to pick up the bags
Brian FlannellyApr 30 2023, 8:33pmResults are now up for this event - any questions/queries on them, please email:

Owen HarneyMay 1 2023, 12:09pmHi Robbie,

I just realised that I didn't collect one of my dropbags. It's a dark green bag with a pair of Hoka Torrents in them, as well as a pair of socks, and maybe a tshirt.

Was it found? If so, who has it? I'm back in Galway now but I'll figure something out for getting it back.

All the best,
Owen
Adrian HennessyMay 1 2023, 2:15pmBig thanks to Robbie and the team of volunteers who were up early and out for long hours on Saturday. The marking was flawless and great grub in Scoil Pol afterwards too.
Robbie WilliamsMay 1 2023, 8:59pmOwen if it’s a dark green backpack it’s in the imra van

Will be at Garyduff Woods then at 3 counties race then at Beara if you can get to or someone else to get to one of those
Anthony WhelanMay 2 2023, 12:25pmThanks to Robbie & all the organisers/volunteers. Your efforts were much appreciated. A great event and a brilliant morning out!
Brian hutchinsonMay 2 2023, 4:26pmA short few words of thanks to the organisers competitors and supporters of the Ballyhoura Trail Ultra for a fabulous, challenging and highly enjoyable event in spectacular and beautiful surroundings. And I’m not just saying that because of the free beer at the finish (and en route!). Thanks All - top event.
Owen HarneyMay 4 2023, 6:37pmHi Robbie,

Yes, that's the bag. I won't be able to make it down for any of those, but if anyone here is traveling to any of those events and then to Galway in the near future, please let me know!

Otherwise I'll try to figure something else out.
Kevin BoydMay 5 2023, 10:43amOnce again Thanks for a very well run race last weekend,
Does anyone have a link for the person taking photos near the end of the descent off Seefin.
