Jason Rhodes Jul 20, 3:04PM Hey All:

I am traveling to Ireland next week and spoken with a gentleman named Paul about running the race. He said it would be fine, to print out membership forms and submit at race. Me and my fiance are decent runners and are very excited to see fabulous Ireland in this way. I hope it is still alright that we join you.

I do have a question and that is can someone give me directions to the race from Dublin (Cardiff Ln Maldron Hotel is where we are staying)! If someone could email me directions to jason.v.rhodes@gmail.com that would be great. Beer on me for the help!

Thanks so much and look forward to meeting you all!

Jason

Garry Rossiter Jul 27, 11:44AM Hi Douglas,
I\'d like to volunteer for wednesday as First Aid Officer or summit marshall.
What time do I need to be there for?
Alan Duggan Jul 27, 3:34PM Any directions lads?
Rene Borg Jul 27, 3:36PM Hi Alan, it\'s the same car park as other races in Crone Wood.

There\'s a Google Map you can use here until we get the full details up under Ballyross: http://www.imra.ie/events/view/tab/maps/id/583/
Douglas Barry Jul 28, 9:48AM Thanks for volunteering folks.
Meet at Crone at 18.30pm. Would whoever has the laptop please give me a ring at Oh Eight Six 606931 Six. Thanks Douglas
Edward Bateman Jul 28, 10:52AM Hi Douglas, I am down as a helper for tomorrow night but my car is acting up and i\'ve got to bring it to the garage in the morning, i don\'t know if i\'ll have it back by the evening so I might not be able to get out there early enough to help out. Hope this doesn\'t cause any problems,
Sorry,
Ed
seamus kilcullen Jul 28, 11:02PM Hi Duoglas,
Just to get priorities right what pub are we going to afterwards?

Paul Cuffe Jul 28, 11:05PM Hi there first time to run this trail unsure of footwear choice I have road running runners (asics kayano) or inov-8 212 talons?
Rene Borg Jul 28, 11:20PM The route is all on very good fire trail so any standard running shoe will basically do you as long as you\'re comfortable with it.

Technical fell runners would be wasted and the hard trail would probably wear the studs off so wouldn\'t recommend using any of them such as the Talon.
Douglas Barry Jul 28, 11:30PM Seamus, do you like the Guinness in the Powerscourt Arms in Enniskerry? I hope so because that\'s where we\'re going....

Douglas
seamus kilcullen Jul 28, 11:47PM Thanks Douglas,
I love the guinness anywhere.
Seamus
Paddy Coyne Jul 29, 3:05PM Hi, I got directions from the AA website. Where in Glencree does the race start from and where would I fill out registration forms etc. New to this. Thanks.
Sean Hassett Jul 29, 3:26PM Paddy

Look at the ordnanace survey map of the event location on this site. You should be able to work it out with your directions and a road map from there.
Rene Borg Jul 30, 9:42AM Club results for this event are now up. Overall standings will be published after the second race of the series.
John Barry Jul 30, 11:16AM Well done to Douglas and his crew last night. Another well organized IMRA race. It may not be the most scenic of routes but it\'s lighting fast and he makes for a great challange. Thanks to Gerard for the great Shoulder to Shoulder challange on the way up. GREAT FUN!

Brendan O'Connor Jul 30, 12:09PM Hi, I managed to get a few pictures of the race, though with the midgies, rain and poor light, I\'m unsure about the quality. I\'ll post the best of them tonight,
Brendan
Eva Fairmaner Jul 31, 9:19AM Paul Cullen you should be ashamed of yourself! I was tagging Brendan\'s photos of Ballyross and there you are running with no number!
Joe Lalor Jul 31, 9:02PM Thats not Paul Cullan,its Adam Clayton
Douglas Barry Jul 31, 11:20PM Thanks everybody for the great turnout and to all the volunteers for helping to make it a great race for everybody on the night.
