Vivian O'GormanAug 15 2024, 11:35amHi Folks,

Race registration will open at 10.45am and close at
11.40am. This will be in the field we have for car parking
opposite the Glencush Road.

The Early Start is at 11.30am - main race 12pm...
There is no short course or juniors. You must enter the
Cush race for this.

There will be Summit Marshalls on Cush - Galty Beag and Galtymore.

The mandatory kit advanced level C. It is listed on the events page. Please
have it with you and a decision will be made as to what you
need before the race. You will definitely need your Jacket!!

A couple more Volunteers are needed either running or nnon running..
Robbie WilliamsAug 15 2024, 7:54pmHi Vivian

Please let me know if you need me

I’ll be up with van anyway
Vivian O'GormanAug 15 2024, 8:47pmThat's grand Robbie sure I'll see you on Sunday...
Vivian O'GormanAug 16 2024, 9:44amI am still looking for more Volunteers for race registration and finish please...
Stephen O KeeffeAug 16 2024, 1:15pmHi Vivian. I'm running the cush race, well that's the plan anyway, but I'd be more than happy to help with registration., I've done it plenty of times before
Robbie WilliamsAug 16 2024, 3:03pmI’ll do reg Viv at start

If u have finish line folk I’ll run the race
Iwona KelleherAug 16 2024, 4:54pmAdded my name to non running helpers list...
Vivian O'GormanAug 16 2024, 5:55pmThanks for the offer Stephen but I'm fine for help now.

Thank you all I have enough Volunteers now. So if all
Volunteers could be at the car park field for race registration
opening at 10.45am that would be fine...
Ian HealyAug 18 2024, 4:28pmThanks for a great event, folks
Brian FureyAug 18 2024, 9:56pmThanks to Vivian, Robbie, and all volunteers for a great race. This was my 10th time coming down to Galtymore and it doesn't get any easier:). Great car pooling coordination from Peter OF who drove 4 of us down. Clouds looked like they were gathering pre race but it all lifted and the warm sun came out. Cush looked a lot steeper than I remembered from the start but once I got over that the legs loosened a bit and the running was good. That field for parking is a masterstroke too. Great racing by all. Cheers
Vivian O'GormanAug 18 2024, 11:32pmThank you to ALL my Volunteers today. Especially the
Summit Marshalls - Brendan, Alice, Dave and Adolfo...
And Karlo who spent the day on his own looking after the
cars in the field.

That field for the cars is a godsend!! We would never have parked
the cars anywhere else today!!

Congratulations to Esther Dickson and Matthew McConnell
who won their races today and are now Irish Mountain Running Champions...

It was a great day, lovely weather and fast racing - thank you everyone...

Michael McSweeneyAug 19 2024, 8:50amThanks to Vivian and crew. Great day out. It's some mountain for five mountains.
Alice ClancyAug 23 2024, 10:36amHi All, summit (ish) photos from Galtybeg are up! Happy Tagging and sorry for the delay….lugging what Robbie calls a ‘mobile’ first aid pack up there seems to have slowed me down somewhat this week! ;-)
