Neil DineenSep 9 2023, 9:21pmJust wondering if entry for this is open or full . As it says “no entry details yet” on race page . Thanks.
Michael McSweeneySep 9 2023, 10:11pmNot open yet Neil. But soon.
Neil DineenSep 10 2023, 8:46pmThanks Michael I see entry is open now
Robert CunninghamSep 11 2023, 10:47amLong sleeve t-shirt for the first 100 entered.
Sorcha KearneySep 11 2023, 12:26pmAnyone planning to run the course this Saturday?
Patricia RyanSep 11 2023, 6:30pmNo Sorcha but there'll be 100 people running it the Saturday after!!!
It's a brilliant course, mostly nice trail, no fire road.
Helen CorbettSep 12 2023, 5:56amHi Sorcha, I was thinking of running it this Saturday, had you a time in mind?
Sorcha KearneySep 12 2023, 9:23amHow about 10am ish?
Helen CorbettSep 12 2023, 1:22pmThat sounds good Sorcha...meet at 10:15 at the GAA club? I'm not sure where to park?
Sorcha KearneySep 12 2023, 1:32pmPerfect. I’ll go with that as it’ll be the blind following the blind! Anyone who has a clue who’d like to come, we’ll see you at 10:15!
Andrew HowardSep 12 2023, 1:37pmI have a GPX file if you want it? Handy to have it viewable on an app on the phone or upload to your watch to keep you on track just in case, there are a lot of junctions on that hill.
Helen CorbettSep 13 2023, 1:13pmYes please Andrew, If you could send on the GPX...Much appreciated ...thanks in advance, Helen
Sorcha KearneySep 14 2023, 1:28pmThanks Andrew!
Mark McInerneySep 18 2023, 11:35amHey,

I've still 3 spots available for car pool from Lucan. One spot accidentally booked. Hoping to go out in the early wave.
Mike MullinsSep 18 2023, 4:20pmAny chance you could provide the Long Sleeved T-Shirts to All Finishers, not just the 1st 100 Entries ? Otherwise, based on last year's Entries, there could be 30 or 40 disappointed Runners who Finish without having a souvenir to take Home.
Peter ConwaySep 18 2023, 5:35pmAgree with you Mike - its always nice to get the bit of souvenir kit.
Robert CunninghamSep 18 2023, 7:41pmOnly the first 100 entered will be receiving the t-shirt as advertised.
But there will be a souvenir shop on the day selling buffs,hats, t-shirts and more. (Card payment accepted)
But the best part is the trails around The Glen of Aherlow are amazing, and a chilled out atmosphere at the finish in Lisvernane that really beats any souvenir.
Denis DineenSep 20 2023, 1:48pmHi there. How does the early start work? Can anyone choose to start in the early wave? Thanks!
Stephen O KeeffeSep 20 2023, 3:14pmWhen you are registering on Saturday morning, just tell them you wish
To start early. They need to know so they have a correct count of starters.
Robert CunninghamSep 20 2023, 5:19pmDenis,
Early start 10.30am* ONLY for those who will take 3hours + to finish the race , you must tell us at sign-in if taking the early start.
Stephen O KeeffeSep 21 2023, 11:30amAny idea what time volunteers should be there for on Saturday morning?
Robert CunninghamSep 21 2023, 11:56amVolunteers will receive an email on role for the day and times this evening.

Just wondering if the t-shirt can be posted out, unfortunately i had some car trouble and ended up missing the race... so disappointed, it sounds like it was a great race.
Patrick CarrollSep 24 2023, 8:10pmFair play to everyone involved in organising yesterday and to everyone who ran. Top class event!

Sorry you missed the race, but unfortunately we don't post out the t-shirts as you must collect the the t-shirt on the day of the race.
We also don't keep t-shirts to be collected at a later date.
