Jason Kehoe	May 25, 2:23PM	Yes Sharon, I would say anyone can attend. The runners should be easy to spot on the day.
Gerry Brady	May 25, 10:36PM	The training run is open to everyone and we are hoping some of the youths teams for Italy in late June will also attend. we will regroup as necessary on the lap to keep everyone together. Nice to see another North Belfast international runner taking an interest :)

Gerry Brady	Jun 8, 11:26PM	Trial race on Sunday is open so anyone wanting to test themselves on the new climb are more than welcome. Some more volunteers to be marshalls on the course and for registration would be useful, as would a photographer out on the course.
