Rene Borg Jan 9, 5:49PM Just so it doesn't get lost in the pdf results from last year's race: The current course records for this route are:

Men: 35:43 (Tom Hogan, Slaney Olympic)
Women: 51:17 (Dena Hogan, Slaney Olympic)
Jason Melvin Apr 7, 4:17PM Can i still take part in this event if i missed the 1st 1? I have been interested in trail/mountain running for a while but only discovered this website today.
Rene Borg Apr 7, 5:26PM Yep, you can participate in 1, 2 or all 3 of the races as you wish.
Javier Astorga Vergara Apr 17, 1:42AM Hi, I am a beginner. It would be my first trail running race ever. Would it be ok for me to get started with this race, taking it easy? Thanks

Javier
Rene Borg Apr 17, 3:28AM These are perfect races for beginners. All on trail and the climbs are not as steep or as prolonged as in regular hill races. And you could run them in road runners so wouldn't have to go buy new gear just yet.
Jane Porter Apr 19, 10:53PM Hi All. Hoping to see a lot of you down here next Sunday. Best route now is the M9 motorway. Exit at junction 5 and head for Bunclody (Enniscorthy, Rosslare direction). As you come down the hill into Bunclody take the Mt Leinster turn on your right and follow trail race signs to carpark. Start 11am but would like to close registration at about 10.30am as there is a short jog to race start.
For some reason I don't seem to be able to edit the direction details on the event page...can anyone help!
Javier Astorga Vergara Apr 20, 11:43PM Thanks Ren,

Excellent. I will go then! I recently bought some salomon´s that I am using to train on grass, beach and gravel. I´ll go at my own pace though :)

Cheers

Javier
Niall O'Connor Apr 21, 1:28PM HI guys has anyone a map or Garmin route from last year? might have a run of it friday before the race.
Thanks
Niall
Jane Porter Apr 22, 11:29AM Hi Niall. I sent you an email with the map attached but you may have problems opening it! Give me a call on 0876799490 if you want any more info
Caroline Conway Apr 22, 11:46AM Hi Jane, Would you mind sending the map onto me aswell? Thanks
Eoin Keith Apr 23, 9:09AM A map of the Kilbranish South race route is now on the event pages.
Jane Porter Apr 24, 10:11AM Thanks Eoin, Rene for getting the map up
Jane Porter Apr 24, 8:36PM We were out marking the course this afternoon. Just to let you know that the road from Bunclody out to the start area has some serious potholes...nothing you can't avoid if you take your time but they can be hard to spot so take it handy! Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow
Mick Hanney Apr 25, 2:55PM Great run this morning courtesy of the Porter's. Looking forward to the next race in the series.
Keith Heary Apr 25, 8:50PM Result from todays race Kilbrannish 10km


1. Mick Kelly Gowran ac 37.26
2. Keith Heary Boards ac 37.28
3. Martin Monoghan Slaney Olympic 38.18

1. Carloine Reid 46.54 (course record)
2. Sinead Hunt 53.31
3. Maria Condon 53.53

Almost 30 runners turned up for the event which was run on a fantastic course and one which was excellently marked, myself and Mick Kelly had a 2 mile lead out by a group of 8 horses who ran in front of us from mile 2 till 4 which gave us a bit of a breather going up the climb from 3 to 4 mile. Well done to Caroline Reid who broke the womens course record by a couple of minutes after racing yesterday and also to Mick Hanney who was 5th after running the Leinster League race yesterday.

Rene Borg May 1, 10:56AM A lengthier race report was published on Slaney Olympic's brand new website:

http://www.slaneyolympic.com/2010/04/29/kilbrannish-south-between-the-april-showers/

There's also news about a new race that will be added to the Open Trail Series (yes there'll be four!). It's not named yet but Jane has mentioned the working title "Dunes in June" to me and its a beach race alright at Kilmore Quay in Southern Wexford and of course run in conjunction with local club Kilmore AC. Preliminary details here:
