leona bermingham	Mar 4, 8:38PM	hi i am interested in doing this race. i have done one hill race in howth so was wondering is this race open to all levels. i would really like to do a mountain race, so any guidance and help would be apreciated.
keith heary	Mar 4, 8:43PM	hi the race is ideal for beginners and i would highly recommend, i ran the 3 races in the series last year and have to say they where fantastically organised by jane and graham porter. sliabh bui is on trails and is easily manageable for everyone.
leona bermingham	Mar 15, 11:06PM	hi keith. thanks for that. will definitly give it a go.
leona bermingham	Mar 21, 9:55PM	if anyone is heading over to this race from swords area or other locations close by,can i follow on, as i am unsure of location of race. or if any1 wants a lift, the offer is there
Jane Porter	Mar 23, 11:42PM	Hi Leona, Finding the race should be no problem. Just drive down the N11 Wexford road. As you come into Ferns look out for a right turn L5070 to Askamore. Follow the Trail Race signs from here. Look forward to seeing you.
Donall Flanagan	Mar 27, 7:11PM	Leona, I'd be happy to share a lift. Can meet any where near the M50 on the southside eg. leaving from Sandyford. Or I'm happy to share a drive down.. my number is 087 61255 26
