| Kevin Campbell | Feb 7, 3:36PM | Hello from New Jersey, I plan to be visiting Ireland in mid March (Kilmallock). In doing so, I would love to participate in the Little Sliabh Bui event. As such, I would greatly appreciate any information in advance on where to register and/or directions to starting line and all. thanks in advace ... Kevin Campbell Cranford, New Jersey USA |
| Graham and Jane Porter | Feb 9, 9:46AM | Hi Kevin, You are more than welcome to come and run in the Little Sliabh Bui trail race.This is a small event the main purpose of which is to encourage members of our running club, Slaney Olympic AC to get involved in trail/mountain running.We are also longstanding members of IMRA and though this is not an IMRA run event IMRA are happy to promote it. Registration for the race can be done just before the race and the entry fee is 5 euro. If you are coming from Kilmallock (via Tipperary, Clonmel, Waterford, Enniscorthy, Ferns) it is about a two and a half hour journey. Directions to the start will be signposted from the N11 just north of Ferns. I hope this is of help, Feel free to phone us when you get to this side of the Atlantic, Graham and Jane |
| Kevin Campbell | Feb 10, 11:34PM | Graham and Jane, I shall call ahead once I arrive in Ireland. I am greatly looking forward to the run. Thank you for the advice and invitation ... As we say in America .... "have a nice day" Go raibh maith agat ..... Kevin |
| Jane Porter | Mar 5, 8:25PM | Directions to the Little Sliabh Bui race are now up on the site. We look forward to seeing you all in the hopefully sunny south east. The location for the prizegiving is not finalised but probably will be in Ferns somewhere. |
| keith heary | Mar 11, 11:22PM | hi can you give directions if travelling from carlow to bunclody, clohamon thanks |
| Jane Porter | Mar 12, 8:04AM | Directions from Clohamon: Take the Ferns road. At the pub in Tombrack turn left, then a fairly quick right. After about 3 miles turn right at T junction. At next crossroads turn left. The start is about a mile up this road. Alternatively from Clohamon go straight to Ferns, take the N11 towards Dublin. take the L5070 Askamore road as described in the directions and follow the trail race signs - it is not much longer! Good luck -see you Sunday. |

| Rene Borg | Mar 16, 11:33AM | I'll second that, absolutely top notch organisation from the excellent marking to the helpful directions. race report and photos for this event will be up later today or early tomorrow, in the meantime, though, you can view the race results by pasting this internet address into your browser address bar: http://www.imra.ie/ad-hoc/SliabhBuiResults.pdf |
| Rene Borg | Mar 17, 9:22PM | Race report for this race is now up, feel free to add more! :) |
| Rene Borg | Mar 20, 1:02PM | Aoife's photos from this event can be viewed here preliminarily: http://picasaweb.google.com/aoifejoy/LittleSliabhBui2009# I'll confirm upload shortly to the website so the taggers can get in there... |
| Rene Borg | Mar 20, 4:17PM | Photos now uploaded to IMRA website, the tagging has already begun! Please note that the numbers on the photos are specific to the race. You can see what runners which number belongs to on the race results (the pdf). Some runners won't be in the system as this race was run as a non-IMRA event, so only previously registered IMRA runners will be "taggable". |
