| Vivian O'Gorman | Aug 9 2015, 10:15pm | Hi Folks, This is the final Irish Championship race of the season and all to play for.It is also a Munster Championship race and King/Queen of the mountains. So a Race Director - a Summit Marshall and a First Aid person are all needed. Also a couple more volunteers. More info will be posted later in the week. |
| Eoghan Sadlier | Aug 10 2015, 10:34am | Hi all, Quick question re date of race & possibly a very stupid question - I had it written into my diary as Sunday 9th August but see on the website it's a week later - 16th. Just wondering if I just wrote the date down wrong or if I've actually missed it & it was on the 9th? |
| Kevin O'Riordan | Aug 10 2015, 11:00am | It's on next weekend Eoghan. |
| Kevin O'Riordan | Aug 10 2015, 11:00am | It's on next weekend Eoghan. |
| Eoghan Sadlier | Aug 10 2015, 11:54am | Thanks Kevin |
| Rachel Cinnsealach | Aug 10 2015, 2:11pm | We could do with one or two more volunteers for this race. Anyone about to do first aid? Could one of the non running volunteers tale on first aid? |
| Fergal Buckley | Aug 10 2015, 10:16pm | I'd be happy to do summit marshal if one is still needed. |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Aug 11 2015, 10:27pm | Thanks Fergal that would be great - if anybody else wants to do Summit Marshal as well let me know. We still need a First Aid person and non running volunteers... |
| Ger Griffin | Aug 11 2015, 11:46pm | Hi Vivian. If you like I can do Summit marshal on Galtymore or Galtybeg. Ger |

Race registration will be from 12pm to 12.45pm Anybody who wants to do an early start can do so from 12pm. I will be there at about 11am so if you want to go earlier let me know. This race WILL NOT be marked so you must be able to navigate using a map and compass. The map can be printed from the details page for this event. So as well as a map and compass you should have a whistle.You can also bring your mobile phone. The kit requirement is: a longsleeved rainproof jacket - hat - gloves and bumbag with chocolate/biscuits and water. The Race Director will make the decision on the day as to what to wear for the race. Don't forget you have to either wear or carry your jacket no matter what - this is mandatory. Also the mobile phone on the back of your race number can be used to contact the Race Director. Just remember to RING the number and NOT to text. This is NOT a beginners. If you want to try mountain running please choose an easier race. Ger Griffen and Fergal Buckley - I will be there at 11am. Hopefully that is before you head for the Summit.If you are going earlier please let me know - 087 4150398 So see you all on Sunday!! |

| Sam Scriven | Aug 16 2015, 11:31pm | Splendid day out. Thanks to Patricia and all the volunteers. Congrats to Becky and Jason and other prizewinners. Although it did rain and the mist was lowish, the phrase 'conditions were perfect really' was overheard more than once. More of the same next year please. |
| Damien Coyle | Aug 17 2015, 9:46am | Congrats to Jason and Becky on their fantastic victories at Galtymore and well done to all who participated and volunteered. Looked to be an brilliant event and will look forward to trying this one next year. |
| Stuart Scott | Aug 17 2015, 9:52am | Thanks to Patricia, Vivien and all other marshals and helpers for another excellent and really enjoyable race yesterday. It was expertly organised and marshalled and the lack of lost runners and relatively benign conditions are testament to that! |
| Jason Kehoe | Aug 17 2015, 11:22am | Thanks to everyone yesterday for a smooth and great race in Munster, always well organised! One of the toughest on the calendar and I always approach it with a large "gulp"! Special thanks to Vivian O'Gorman for directing the IC league series again this year. It's been a long four months in the hills so congrats to compatriot Becky on her Irish MR Championship win, all the category winners and my fellow hardy competitors for continuously pushing me to work hard on the hills. Till next year! Jason |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Aug 17 2015, 10:18pm | OK had a 'senior momment'- just keep your comments to yourselves!! Patsy Mc Creanor finished in 2.23.24 - a fantastic time and not the time I gave above. Ted Feehan,by the way, was 2nd O/70 in 2-27.15 - a great race between the two of them!! Mea Culpa... |
