Gerry Brady	Jan 17, 3:40PM	Event details page contains information on the selection race to pick the teams for the WMRA International Youths Challenge. See maps page for course.
Gerry Brady	Mar 15, 11:00PM	There will be an easy training run over the trial route for the Youths race on Sunday 21st March in Howth. Meet at the car park opposite Maud's cafe on the seafront at 11 a.m. We will run up the road from there to the GAA club (this is a steep climb) and do two laps of the course before running back down to the car park. Bring warm clothing and a waterproof top.
ronan doyle	Mar 28, 11:14PM	hi i am a member of clonliffe harriors . how would i go about entering this race.
Gerry Brady	Mar 29, 12:45AM	Ronan, you can enter on the day. Please complete the IMRA registration form, a link to it is available on the IMRA web page for the event (it requires a parent or guardian signature). If you have time and someone to accompany you, the map of the race route is on the event page and a training run over it would give you more awareness of what is involved. Contact Mags.Greenan@imra.ie or Gerry.Brady@imra.ie if you have queries.
