| Malcolm Kavanagh | Jan 20 2024, 12:23pm | Hi Liam, Sorry I didn't see your message about running last week but I'd meet you there tomorrow morning at the same time if suits & we have a break in weather. |

| liam kenny | Feb 5 2024, 11:40am | Hi all Now that trooperstown has a full compliment of volunteers I could do with 3/4 more to assist with marshalling out on the route for this run smooth, Thanks to all who have made them selves available so far, |
| Brendan Lawlor | Feb 8 2024, 9:52am | Hi Are the arrangements for Sliabh Bui similar to when the race was held in 2019 ? |
| liam kenny | Feb 8 2024, 10:35am | Brendan No we have a new route for this event I will be updating race page this evening so I'll have both short and long course up, route is varied with some fire road/ bike track and a little surprise in there to add to the mix |

| Mark Heavey | Feb 8 2024, 10:56am | Hi Liam just wondering how close you are in relation to Fort mountain the day before and the easiest town to access the race from if staying thanks Mark. |
| liam kenny | Feb 8 2024, 11:21am | Hi Mark I would think Gorey or Enisscorty would be fairly accessible to both, keep an eye out on the carpool section for seats to events, we will be heading to fort so we can pick you up in either if need be |
| liam kenny | Feb 8 2024, 12:04pm | Hi all Race page now updated, both maps on the photo section, |

| Alan Kennedy | Feb 12 2024, 10:40am | Good spot Angus, the correct Eircode is Y25 F6D8. Description will be amended later. |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 12 2024, 1:30pm | Or simply enter Askamore in your Map app. If driving from West Wickllow, via Carnew would be a way to go. Or via Ferns from Wexford. |

| Alan Kennedy | Feb 15 2024, 3:38pm | Reminder to all that is there only 3 races left in the Leinster Winter / Spring League and 4 races are required for a place on the final league table. Looks like a lot of runners on the 2-race completed list and this course on Sunday, which is new to a lot of us, looks like a super route. |
| liam kenny | Feb 16 2024, 8:17am | Shop closes tomorrow at 6, entries ticking away going to be some interesting battles ladies and men's age category s We have enough volunteers I will decline further offers but please look at upcoming events |
| Sarah Gough | Feb 16 2024, 8:06pm | Hi, can I just check, under new IMRA rules am I right in understanding that adults can't do a short course, it must be the long course? Thanks! |
| liam kenny | Feb 16 2024, 8:50pm | Hi Sarah, yes you can run the short course at check in you just need to state long or short on the day, to be honest long course on the particular race is ideal for beginners, feel free to opt for what ever distance you feel comfortable at, hope that helps for you |
| Sarah Gough | Feb 16 2024, 8:55pm | Oh good to hear, Thanks a million Liam! |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 17 2024, 3:34pm | Tick tock, the time is ticking before shop closes for Sliabh Bui.. It looks like a mild morning is in store, nice conditions for a run. |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 17 2024, 6:22pm | Photo added to event which shows the elevation profile you can expect tomorrow. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Feb 18 2024, 2:55pm | Well done and thank you to Liam and his volunteer team for a fantastic race at Sliabh Bui today.. sunshine, drizzle, cloud, varied terrain and very close encounters with a wind turbine… course had it all.

| Liam Bowe | Feb 18 2024, 2:59pm | A big thanks to Liam and team for this mornings race. Very obvious the amount of work put into organising this with super pre and post race set up.

| Alan Ayling | Feb 18 2024, 7:57pm | "my job was made easy today with the level of volunteers who stepped up and done there job and all played an integral part of the success of the event today " The key to great race directing: plan things well, surround yourself with a team of great volunteers, make sure everyone is 100% clear what they're doing... then let them do all the work while you calmly manage and enjoy everyone enjoying themselves. Great job Liam! PS fabulous sandwiches! |
| Andrew Hanney | Feb 18 2024, 8:49pm | A brilliant race this morning. Excellent organisation, great running terrain, weather gods smiling. Well worth the road trip, the great sense of community that welcomed us was just superb. Tea and sambos after were the icing on an excellent cake. Well done Liam and co, more races to come down that way I hope. |
