| Patricia Blackburn | Sep 19 2019, 11:34am | Hi all ultra runners. Thank you for signing up for this the fifth edition of the LOOP DE LOOP we hope you will enjoy your run and your visit to the Glen of Aherlow. Reg will open at 7am in the community centre in Lisvernanne village.The start and finish for the ultra is also in the village. To facilitate the club whose facilities we are using, We would ask all ultra's to park in the GAA field.There will be a parking attendants on duty and your cooperation would be appreciated. The course is marked with red arrows on white background and red and white tape.There are four water stops(make sure you have your own bottle as it's refill only) The course is mainly on trail with a small bit of road ,( theirs a slight change from previous years)some paths narrow some wider:- there has been quite a bit of tree felling in the last few weeks,so their a bit rough in parts but nothing to worry about!! You have three full loops once you get up past the iron bridge,this is just about half a mile out from the start.It's at this point you will have the drop off zones one and two. You can carry your stuff to the zone yourself or we can get it there for you.(there will be a steward there).Please label your bags, bottles etc that you are leaving there and please make sure you collect and dispose of anything you havn't used.(It's important to leave no trace and that everyone takes responsibility for their own stuff.) Mandatory kit applies and we would appreciate if you could carry your phone but its not compulsory. There is a cut off time of three hours for the first loop and six for the second loop and we will have to strictly adhere to this giving respect to the stewards and volunteers. There are hot showers available in the club house, and hot food will be served in the hall with a choice of Beef stew, chicken curry or veg curry, with desert and tea and coffee. We will also have a free bottle of Eight Degrees beer to help wash it all down. Prize giving will begin around 4pm. There are two camp sites in the Glen which are very close and of course you have Aherlow House Hotel if you want to pamper yourself. Ballyhoura hostel is only 10 miles and Tipperary town is only 4 miles with lots of accommodation.We hope you have a safe journey and look forward to meeting you all Sat morning. |
| Gordon Place | Sep 21 2019, 7:50pm | Hi All, first off, thanks MMRA for a great day out, lovely grub and a beer to wash it down! I left a plastic bag with my name and number on it, 230, outside the front of the community centre, with a pair of orange Hoka runners in it. Don't suppose anybody picked them up or handed it in. Sorry and thanks again. Gordon |
| Robert Cunningham | Sep 21 2019, 8:14pm | Gordan Trisha Blackburn has your bag. And yes it was a great event, Thanks to all the organisers and volunteers great work. |

| Richard Moriarty | Sep 23 2019, 5:45pm | Just to echo Gordons sentiments, thanks to everyone for another great day out on the hills of Tipperary. This was the best iteration of the course yet so kudos to all. Thanks especially to all of the course marshals who braved the heat and the rain to water and nourish us on our way round and fill us with kind words of encouragement I have the full traffic light of jerseys now, Green to add to the Amber & Red. See you all next year |
