| Karl Richards | Feb 11 2024, 12:38pm | Hi Everyone we are looking forward to welcoming you all to Fourth Mountain on Saturday 17 February. The event page has been updated and the entries for the race will open on 12 February. Hopefully everything is crystal clear but dont hesitate to message on the forum if you have any queries. See you all next saturday Karl |
| Gerry Moran | Feb 11 2024, 2:41pm | Hi Karl, Hoping to run Forth Mountain next Sat. Entry opening on the 12th I think. What do I need to race? number, chip, kit? Thanks in advance. Looking to run South East League races. Gerry |
| Karl Richards | Feb 11 2024, 7:39pm | Hi Gerry we look forward to welcoming you on Saturday. If this is your first race of the year then you have to pay the 2024 registration fee and enter the race tomorrow. You will be given your IMRA number for 2024 which you keep for the year. This race doesnt use timing chips so you just need to have your 2024 race number visible. If you have already run a race this year then you bring the number you were given at your first race. See you on saturday |
| Santina Doherty | Feb 14 2024, 11:41am | Hi are you planning on having an early start? |
| Karl Richards | Feb 14 2024, 3:34pm | Hi Santina no we don’t have an early start. Race starts 11am. Registration desk closes at 10:45. Hope to see you on Saturday |
| Karl Richards | Feb 16 2024, 12:17pm | Hi All a reminder that entries close at 6pm today so register now to avoid disappointment. Parking Reminder: The race starts at Three Rocks trail - trail head. There is limited car parking space in the at the start/finish. If possible use the Forth mountain hike car park 2km to the north of the race start/finish. Nice warm up and cool down opportunity. If using the Forth mountain hike car park cross the road and head south to the start line. You might see some of the race markings to get an idea of the final part of the race as you head to the start line. LAST YEAR THE CAR FILLED UP SO PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY ENOUGH AS YOU MAY HAVE TO DRIVE TO THE OTHER FORTH MOUNTAIN HIKE CAR PARK Please use this car park and its a short 2 km warm up to the start line https://maps.app.goo.gl/d7jrK9i7VuTWPSHY6 |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Feb 16 2024, 4:03pm | Hi Karl, What time would you like volunteers to arrive? Thanks. |
| Susie Mitchell | Feb 16 2024, 4:13pm | Hi all, Im doing Forth Mountain tomorrow and my 11 year old daughter wants to do the junior race. I cant see how to register juniors for IMRA. She doesnt have an email address and when i try input her as a new member using my address it doesnt let me.. Anyone got a steer on this? Thanks! Susie Mitchell |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Feb 16 2024, 7:07pm | Susie, there is a way to cheat the website into thinking you are entering a new email address. Basically if you use the + symbol in an email address, your email provider ignores everything after the plus, but IMRA thinks it is a unique email address. So you register her with that email address, but all correspondence comes to your email. Eg. Susie@gmail.com and Susie+kiddo@gmail.com or Susie+tori@gmail.com all get sent to susie@gmail.com. Hope that makes sense |
| Anne Wynne | Feb 16 2024, 8:13pm | Hi there, I’ve missed the registration for this run unfortunately. Is it still possible to join? Many thanks |
| Karl Richards | Feb 16 2024, 10:13pm | Hi Anne I am very sorry that you missed the registration. Unfortunately you have to be registered to run the race. I am very sorry about that. Hopefully you get to race at next years race. Best wishes Karl |
| Karl Richards | Feb 16 2024, 10:15pm | Hi Niamh Sorry for the late reply, i am just in the door from marking the race. If you are there for 10am that would be great. Thanks Karl |
| Karl Richards | Feb 16 2024, 10:18pm | Hi All Please dont forget that you have to carry your rain jacket with you for the duration of the race tomorrow. The course is very wet after all the rain this week so wear trail runners with good grips. Parking Reminder: The race starts at Three Rocks trail - trail head. There is limited car parking space in the at the start/finish. If possible use the Forth mountain hike car park 2km to the north of the race start/finish. Nice warm up and cool down opportunity.

| Maurice McCartan | Feb 17 2024, 6:48pm | Great race today folks, the weather may have dampened my insoles but it didn't dampen the fun. Thanks to the volunteers. |
| Deirdre Grogan | Feb 17 2024, 8:33pm | Thanks for the muck fest, great fun today. By the end one pool looked like another, but was well marked out. Thanks to all the volunteers for standing around in that rain, I rather keep running. |
| Laura-Anne Molloy | Feb 17 2024, 9:07pm | Thanks to Karl and all the volunteers for today's bogtrot around Forth Mountain, the waders were missing from the list of mandatory kit! The sun went AWOL from the south east today so we will all just have to come back again next year to see those lovely views. A horrible day for volunteers to be standing out in, so all very much appreciated. |
| James Coade | Feb 18 2024, 5:45pm | Thanks a million to Karl and all the volunteers for yesterday's race, it was a great event, a real tough course! The shoes got a proper clean with all the puddles anyway :) |
| David O Connor | Feb 19 2024, 12:21pm | Thanks to Karl and all the volunteers for the race Saturday. A great route, challenging but very enjoyable. Will look forward to next year... |
