| Peter O'Farrell | Mar 11 2024, 4:00pm | Roll up, roll up... The 2024 Irish Championship has five cracking races - the league page can be seen at https://www.imra.ie/leagues/view/id/370/ The series kicks off with Slieve Donard on Saturday the 11th of May in NewCastle, Co. Down. Entries to this event are at https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?event_id=13012 and the race is organised by Newcastle AC - you do NOT enter this race via the IMRA website. The Slieve Donard results will be added to the IMRA Slieve Donard event page and the Irish Championship webpage for those runners with a 2024 IMRA membership. (The other four races will have the standard IMRA entry procedures) Many thanks to Newcastle AC for allowing IMRA to piggyback on their race as this ensures that the Irish Championship visits the highest point in all 4 provinces. |
| Peter O'Farrell | Apr 23 2024, 7:46pm | With some athletes missing round one at Slieve Donard thanks to their selection for international duty (well done) there's a chance for the rest of us to stake an early claim in the race for the Irish Championships of 2024. Slieve Donard is a stone cold classic - much like the other 4 races - and having raced it for the last few years I can strongly recommend the race. There's already been some fantastic racing at the provincial championships and with the Irish Champs only needing you to visit areas of outstanding natural beauty - of 5 - why not make 2024 the year you finish the league? We might even go mad and have a league Finishers momento this year as well as the usual winners prizes. Just to note : As you enter the event via the https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?event_id=13012 and the race is organised by Newcastle AC you will get a Slieve Donard result which is separate from the IMRA result. Safety equipment required for the race: compass, whistle, waterproof full body cover comprising of jacket (with hood and taped seams) and trousers, hat and gloves For your result to be manually added to the IMRA Irish Champs page you must have a 2024 IMRA membership to be counted. |
