| Kevin O'Riordan | Jan 8 2025, 2:01pm | Hi Maria, entries haven't opened for this one yet. They typically open about a week beforehand for the winter league races. |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 13 2025, 11:05am | Hi All, Just under 2 weeks to this race. Liam has devised a super new route for this. Please could I have some more VOLUNTEERS. Thank you |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 13 2025, 11:06am | Map of route to follow shortly |
| Conor Donnelly | Jan 13 2025, 1:43pm | Hi Niamh, I've volunteered as a laptop operator. Haven't done it before but hopefully should be able to pick it up on the day? Thanks, Conor |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 13 2025, 4:12pm | Hi Conor. Thanks so much for volunteering. The laptop operator does need to have prior experience of the system. If you would like to sign up as assistant laptop operator, you will be able to learn the ropes. Is that okay? Thanks a million |
| Conor Donnelly | Jan 13 2025, 6:36pm | Yes that's great, thanks Niamh |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 17 2025, 11:02pm | I'm still looking for a few more volunteers for this event please. Particularly a laptop operator. Thankd |
| Elaine Casey | Jan 21 2025, 9:49am | Morning all, I've a very cheeky request of the non runners. I currently have a foster pup and my care plan for him on Saturday morning has fallen through, is there anyone who might be able to mind him for me at the start/finish while I do the run? I know it's a big ask, he's a lovely 5mth old pup, fairly well behaved, extremely cute!! |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 21 2025, 3:07pm | Thanks to everyone who has volunteered. I'm now okay for volunteers for this event. |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 22 2025, 9:19pm | Hi all, please take the time to read the event information on the event page. We will be checking mandatory kit at the finish line so please make sure you have all mandatory items ready to go. The final list of items to be carried will be listed here on Friday night and also will be displayed at registration. Please note that the course may be subject to change from that published depending on the results of a route check that will take place as soon as possible after the storm has passed. |
| Lily Abichahine | Jan 24 2025, 1:13pm | Good morning, Do you still need volunteers for tomorrow? Best, Lily |
| Sandra Kelly | Jan 24 2025, 3:32pm | Hi Lily. Niamh says yes please for your offer to volunteer. Meet at Glenealy Community Hall at 9.30 please. |
| Alice Clancy | Jan 24 2025, 4:32pm | Hi All, Niamh has inspected the course this afternoon and is happy to say that the Carrick race will go ahead tomorrow with some minor alterations to the route! Registration will be open from 9.30am in Glenealy Community Hall tomorrow...entries close at 6pm this evening so there's just under an hour and a half left to sign up! |
| Richard Cooper | Jan 24 2025, 6:47pm | Hi Niamh, what time do you need volunteers there for? |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 24 2025, 8:17pm | Hi Richard. Sorry the emails were bouncing back from your email address. 9.15 at Glenealy Village Hall please. Thanks |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 25 2025, 12:28am | Parking is NOT at the same place as summer race. Remember it is 1km from registration at the village hall to the race start. Park at Glenealy Village Hall or on Ballymanus Lane https://maps.app.goo.gl/AfCuSEQQHdoG7Bdt6 or small carpark opposite St. Joseph's Church https://maps.app.goo.gl/ci6DQjCGpkQi6FsR7 Mandatory Kit is: Raincoat Gloves Hat or Buff |
| Sean Forsyth | Jan 25 2025, 12:46pm | Well done Niamh and crew, an absolutely cracking course and well organized. Myself and Éabha had a great morning out on the trails |
| Michelle Muldoon | Jan 25 2025, 1:27pm | Absolutely brilliant course! Thanks to all the crew for putting on a fantastic race. |
| Richard Nunan | Jan 25 2025, 1:49pm | Thanks Niamh and all the Volunteers out there today. Shout out to Marshalls Alice and Oisin and to Paul Mahon for the course trimming. Savage route. |
| Richard Fox | Jan 25 2025, 2:00pm | omg but that was an absolute blast. Thanks to Niamh, Liam, Paul and the fabulous vollies for putting that together. Sort of weird to think that just yesterday the whole place was in a state of chassis (: and today we have this amazing event. Thanks to all concerned - foxy |
| Alan Kennedy | Jan 25 2025, 2:16pm | Thanks Niamh, Paul and Marshalls for a cracking course today. So fun up and over the three peaks. Slippy, mossy, stoney, mucky, brilliant. |
| Desie Shorten | Jan 25 2025, 2:59pm | Thanks Niamh and your volunteer's for a fab race and course today. |
| Miriam Maher | Jan 25 2025, 3:51pm | Still buzzing after that! More happy than I can express being able to take part in the races again after 2 long years of an ongoing injury. Thanks a million to Niamh and all the volunteer team for a superb race, route and effort. Think Niamh has taken over from Alan Ayling with the tricky challenging routes! And a special thanks to Niamh, Paul and Foxy who were out the moment the storm had lessened yesterday to check and adjust the route as needed. Glad to be able to acknowledge Conor O’Farrell too afterwards with his T-shirt for hitting 50 official volunteering stints, his unofficial tally is considerably more than 50 :) |
| Elaine Casey | Jan 25 2025, 4:09pm | Challenging route that had something for everyone including mountain goats lol. Thanks to all the volunteers today especially Dawn for looking after me at the end. |
| Richard Leahy | Jan 25 2025, 4:52pm | A big thanks to Niamh and team for a super race. Loved the course by Paul which had everything.The single track decent off the last summit was the most enjoyable gallops I've had in ages. |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Jan 25 2025, 5:45pm | Thanks to everyone for your cooperation today. That route is Liam Vines doing! Special thanks to the marshals who were out in the freezing cold for a long time. |
| Linda Rowden | Jan 25 2025, 6:55pm | Big thanks to Niamh and her team of volunteers for putting on a fantastic race. It was a tough route that had a little bit of everything. Also, extra big thanks to Niamh, Paul and Foxy for going out yesterday to clear the route after the storm had passed so the rest of us could enjoy the hills this morning. |
| Brian Kitson | Yesterday, 9:02pm | First IMRA in six months. Missed it, great to be back. Thanks to Niamh and her army of helpers for putting on a great show. I put up a bit of a report along with other reports from tbe fast lads, Mikey and Peter. |
| Alan Ayling | Yesterday, 9:32pm | Great report Brian. Out of interest, did Peter bark at you while you were ahead? |
| Miriam Maher | Yesterday, 10:45pm | Nothing wraps up a great race better than a Kitson report :). Just as well the cupla focal wasn’t required, I’d had been a terrible disappointment. |
