Annacurra Trail race

AuthorDateMessage
Mick HanneyJan 15 2025, 10:27amThis will be the first of this years trail league taking in a loop of the Roddenagh woods at Annacurra before a circuit of the hill.

Event details are updated in advance with a map if anyone wanted to do a recce at any stage. Happy to guide anyone around if they are interested.
Andy WalkerJan 16 2025, 11:08amHi Mick, I don't think I'll be able to make the race itself but if you are doing any recces or there's interest from other people to be guided round then I could be keen to come along for that instead...
Amanda FitzgeraldJan 19 2025, 9:24pmHi Mick will there be a Junior race available for the small kids? Thanks
Mick HanneyJan 19 2025, 9:49pmHi Amanda,

Currently short course is 5.7k which restricts it to M/F16s and above.
I am open to options to have a shorter option (again) to allow all juniors. For instance, 2 loops of Roddenagh woods would be about 4k. Happy to chat to see if this, or other options, might work. Would like to have this as inclusive as possible.

Regards,

Mick
Mick HanneyJan 19 2025, 10:19pm@Amanda I had forgotten that we can only have 2 courses - long or short - for official race results purposes there can only be 2 races. I'll look at what normally is supported at trail league races (juniors wise) and we can chat.

Cheers, Mick
Mick HanneyJan 20 2025, 9:05amThe details for the short course have been updated, now slightly shorter than originally proposed without compromising the fun bits.
Amanda FitzgeraldJan 20 2025, 9:30amHey Mick I see that it's been changed to suit juniors also. Thankyou for accommodating them especially when it's a local race for them. It's great to see more kids out at the races.
I did the long course last time and loved it. Great location and lots of variety. Looking forward to all the fun bits.
Thanks again
