Registration on the day will close at 9.45am. I still need some more non-running volunteers, particularly to help with marshalling on the course. Please sign up if you can! |

| Lena Freyne | Jul 23 2024, 11:07am | Oskar, we will do a social media appeal for carpooling |
| Turlough Conway | Jul 23 2024, 8:44pm | Folks. Anyone travelling to the race with space in their car please consider using the Carpool section of this Events page. This course is looking like a bit of a classic and well worth the trip. Hot showers, hot tea and coffee in the clubhouse after makes things a lot more tempting! |
| Lena Freyne | Jul 25 2024, 2:19pm | It looks like we are going to get great weather on Saturday! So get ready for some serious views! The route takes you on a scenic loop that passes Lough Coolin, with views across the Maumturks, Partry Mountains, Lough Corrib and Lough Mask. Please consider using the carpool section of this event page if you have space in your car. |
| Lena Freyne | Jul 26 2024, 12:39pm | We are having an Early Start Option for anyone who wishes to avail of it at 9.45am. The Early Start is generally reserved for runners who expect to be over the 160% of the winning time, and would like to start a little bit early. Please let Ronan know at registration if you want to use this option and I will link up with you at the start line at 9.35am for a safety briefing! Thanks |
| Turlough Conway | Jul 26 2024, 3:57pm | Some Carpool options from Galway City and Sligo now. |

| Hilary Jenkinson | Jul 28 2024, 7:59pm | Well done to all involved in getting this new event off the ground. Great route well marked and fantastic views all the way. Huge thank you to organizers and the many cheerful volunteers. I will be looking forward to this again next year. |
| Turlough Conway | Jul 29 2024, 7:51am | Well done to Lena and crew for a really, well organized and excellent race in beautiful scenery on a wonderful day. So many happy campers. A lot more than the average with that 'Where have you been all my life' look on them at the finish which is great to see. We will be keeping a close eye on these dangerous new addicts over the next few weeks and years! Next Galway fix is coming on Knock Ma on August 10th with a Sligo league race on Knocknarea between on August 3rd. |
| Tom McNicholas | Jul 30 2024, 11:57am | Was marshalling on Mount Gable IMRA run last Saturday, super event, perfect mountain for experienced and beginners mountain runners. Credit to the organisers, everything was perfectly set up. I will definitely be running Mount Gable the next time, a perfect example of all mountain running and mountains in general around Ireland have to offer. Well done again to all involved. |
