Nigel PlowmanFeb 1 2015, 9:52am200
John J BarryFeb 1 2015, 10:39amPol, can we see the entry list anywhere?
Pól Ó MurchúFeb 1 2015, 1:00pmNo John, the list is not available publicly. I can see it as I am an admin on the site.
Cezary LubinskiFeb 1 2015, 3:22pmGuys, I'm new to it, is there any aid/food stations on the route? Or this is totally self sufficient race?
John J BarryFeb 1 2015, 6:27pmIt's self Sufficient. But the organisers will transport a drop back to the turnaround spot. Note that it's a 25km out and back route.
Richard NunanFeb 1 2015, 8:04pmHi Folks,

Wicklow way ultra,

Just a comment on Food - Drinks for the Ultra. There could be water at Aid Stations Crone but I wouldn't rely on it. You should be self sufficient.

Its better that you turn up with your food in two separate drop bags clearly identifiable by your self. These should be labeled
1.) Crone
2.) Ballinastoe

Crone is 12km going out or 38km on way back.
Ballinastoe is the halfway mark.
Raghnall O'DonoghueFeb 2 2015, 1:27pmHi folks, on MyImra | Purchase IMRA Producs I only see entry for the Trail race, not the Ultra. Does this mean that the ultra is now full? If so is there a wait list?

Thanks
Raghnall
Cezary LubinskiFeb 2 2015, 6:34pmThanks for the info about the food/water.

Dermot MurphyFeb 27 2015, 1:30pmVolunteer update - thanks to those who have volunteered so far.
I have volunteers for the half way point and Crone Wood (one person so far for Crone wood - could do with one more - would need to be at Crone wood at 9:30am).
Still need non running volunteers for Curtlestown, marshals, for the finish, plus some volunteers for registration, who can also run if they want.
S.M. GriffithFeb 27 2015, 8:28pmHey Dermot. I can help out with registration. What time do you need me there?

Richard NunanMar 3 2015, 1:48pmHi Folks

We will no longer be adding people to the waiting list for the Wicklow Way Trail or Ultra. Statistically based on previous years - you will not get in at this late stage.

We recommend perhaps supporting the Mountain Rescue event http://walktheline.ie/ at this late stage. An event well worth supporting.
Rob PriestmanMar 3 2015, 2:09pmHi Richard and Dermot,

My name has disappeared off the waiting list for the Wicklow Way trail which had been added on the 27t of Feb!

Please could you add me back on the list?!

Thanks,
Dermot MurphyMar 3 2015, 2:32pmSorry Rob - both yourself and Colin Casey were accidently removed from the list - final update, as per Richard's note, we will not be adding any more.

Marcos SanchezMar 17 2015, 6:36pmHi all,

Is there any chance of someone giving me a lift to Johnny Foxes for the Trail run? Anywhere south dublin will suit (I live in Kimmage, dont mind to go somewhere in the area for the lift). It doesnt seem to be many car pooling this year...
Brian McGuckinMar 17 2015, 7:26pmI can give you a lift Marcos, leaving from Kimmage...anyone else need a lift. 0863742485.
Dermot MurphyMar 17 2015, 7:59pmRace Briefing - copied from Ultra thread. The only additional note for Trail runners is that registration is at Johnnie Foxes - you will get a bus from here to the race start at Ballinastoe.
1) Pre-entry only for this race - if you are not on the list, you cannot run in the race.
2) Parking - 2 points to note a) No parking in the car park directly outside Johnnie Foxes - they have asked us to use the overflow car cark only. Please follow the directions of the car park marshals if this is full. Please car pool as much as possible in order to minimise car numbers.
b) STRICTLY NO PARKING at the GAA club at race finish - the car park is closed as they are extending the club house (work still ongoing from last year).
3) Route is strictly on the Wicklow Way. Please did not use any short-cuts ie cutting out zig-zags etc - this will be considered cheating and will result in disqualification. Safety point - runners might consider running in groups, especially if you are unfamiliar with route. See who is at a similar pace.
4) Mandatory kit requirement - this will be STRICTLY enforced. Mobile phones are not mandatory but are recommended.
5) Please note the cut off times at Ballinastoe (1pm), Crone wood (2:45pm) and Curtlestown (3:30pm) - please cooperate with the marshals if you do not reach the cut off in time.
6) Strictly no littering - please leave any litter at the water stations or bring it with you.
7) Dont forget to have your number visible/at hand at the finish so your time can be recorded. Please leave back your race number and dont forget to pick up your mug!
8) Strictly no headphones on this race - if you see anyone with them on, dont be shy about telling them to take them off.
9) Dont forget the IMRA social at Donheny & Nesbitts at 8pm on Saturday after the race!

Richard NunanMar 18 2015, 5:06pmTOMORROW THURSDAY THE WAITING LIST WILL BE WITHDRAWN ...
We stopped adding people to the waiting list almost a month ago. So i am not adding anyone else at this late stage as its not fair on others who we have already responded to.

I am now available to help as a non-running volunteer if that is of any help to you.

Cheers,

Jim.
Dermot MurphyMar 19 2015, 3:29pmHi Jim - it would be great if you could help out. Can you help with the finish - so at the finish line outside the GAA club for 1:45pm?
Please note (and this is for everyone) there is no parking at the finish - please park at Johnnies and walk up from there.

Best wishes to all the runner and Dermot & Co on the day

Dermot MurphyMar 20 2015, 8:11amAnyone who was on the waiting list and needs to pay on the morning - please have the appropriate amount ready - Trail - €20 race entry, please €10 registration fee if applicable. Please try to have the exact amount - we will not have the usual cash collection process in operation tomorrow morning.
Donagh McGrathMar 20 2015, 2:48pmAnother free place on the bus...my foot still not up to it...I'm out. Sorry for late notice - had hoped to give it a (slow) go!
Siobhain DugganMar 20 2015, 3:33pmHello Dermot, I had volunteered to help out at registration but it looks like I need to pull out of run (injury) . I can help at the finish instead if that helps?
Thanks Siobhain
Dermot MurphyMar 20 2015, 3:36pmHi Siobhan, if you can help at the finish, that would be good.
Finish is Outside GAA club - about 500 meters from Johnnie Foxes - for everyone - please do not park at the finish line as there is very limited space
Dermot MurphyMar 20 2015, 3:41pmJust reprinting the briefing note - last bus will leave JF's around 11:15am, when registration closes. Make sure you have signed on well before then!!
1) Pre-entry only for this race - if you are not on the list, you cannot run in the race.
2) Parking - 2 points to note a) No parking in the car park directly outside Johnnie Foxes - they have asked us to use the overflow car cark only. Please follow the directions of the car park marshals if this is full. Please car pool as much as possible in order to minimise car numbers.
b) STRICTLY NO PARKING at the GAA club at race finish - the car park is closed as they are extending the club house (work still ongoing from last year).
3) Route is strictly on the Wicklow Way. Please did not use any short-cuts ie cutting out zig-zags etc - this will be considered cheating and will result in disqualification. Safety point - runners might consider running in groups, especially if you are unfamiliar with route. See who is at a similar pace.
4) Mandatory kit requirement - this will be STRICTLY enforced. Mobile phones are not mandatory but are recommended.
5) Please note the cut off times at Ballinastoe (1pm), Crone wood (2:45pm) and Curtlestown (3:30pm) - please cooperate with the marshals if you do not reach the cut off in time.
6) Strictly no littering - please leave any litter at the water stations or bring it with you.
7) Dont forget to have your number visible/at hand at the finish so your time can be recorded. Please leave back your race number and dont forget to pick up your mug!
8) Strictly no headphones on this race - if you see anyone with them on, dont be shy about telling them to take them off.
9) Dont forget the IMRA social at Donheny & Nesbitts at 8pm on Saturday after the race!
Siobhain DugganMar 20 2015, 3:47pmThanks Dermot,
I'll be at the finish so at 1.45pm
See you then and best of luck to all the runners!!
Siobhain

Colm MoranMar 20 2015, 10:46pmHi Richard,
Good luck with the event tomorrow.

You said to e-mail you about looking for a refund for the entry to tomorrow's trail race, but I'm not sure where to get your e-mail? Not urgent though.

Good luck tomorrow.
Derek LivingstoneMar 21 2015, 7:52amI wanna give up my place for Wicklow way today I have a really bad dose of flu best luck to all runners !
Gerard CunninghamMar 21 2015, 8:34pmMany thanks to Dermot and team for organising this super event again today and especially for all the volunteers who gave up their day so we could enjoy such splendid conditions
David G FassbenderMar 21 2015, 11:09pmA super event. Really enjoyed it. Thanks! Cracking set up and cracking day!
Deborah MeghanMar 22 2015, 9:59amThanks a million to all the organisers for a great race yesterday and a huge congrats to all the Ultra runners.
Dermot MurphyMar 22 2015, 12:03pmResults should be up shortly.

Brian Furey had a narrow win over Ian Conroy. Leading lady Sarah McCormack was third overall - a great run and her winning time of 1 hours 51 minutes is ladies record for this version of the course by some distance.

Many thanks to all the volunteers today. We had an unfortunate clash with a funeral during Trail registration which caused us a few headaches. Justin Rea was the right man in the right place at the right time and was able to arrange alternative parking at very short notice which was a huge help. A big thanks to all the car park marshals who did a good job in sorting it all out. A big thanks also to the registration teams who helped with a very smooth registration process. Also thanks to all the marshals/aid stations who were very much appreciated by everyone - Lindie and Santina at Ballinastoe, Rachel who marshalled at Lough Tay, Mary and Diarmuid O'Colmain (and friends) were at Crone Woods and Mick Hanney and family were at Curtlestown. Also thanks to all who helped out at the finish.

And a big thanks also to Hilary Jenkinson for the super mugs!

Brian has already put up a race report for the Ultra race - if anyone else wants to put, please fire away - the more the merrier!
Alan GorskiMar 22 2015, 1:22pmThank you for nice run yesterday.
Have small question. I'm collecting all my bibs numbers from races and now I will miss one from WWU :-( Is there any chance to at least send me photo of my no - 131, please.

Alan
