| Rex Brillantes | Mar 16 2025, 4:05pm | Hi. Are results can be use for UTMB RACES? Just asking because cannot find it in my trail results UTMB index. Thank you |
| Lillian Deegan | Mar 22 2025, 11:38am | Hi Rex, Pól O’Murchu is due to upload to the UTMB site. Feel free to check back in again if you don’t see them in a week or so. Lillian |
| Alex Lee | Mar 29 2025, 10:54pm | Hi, when will purchase be possible for this event? |
| Lillian Deegan | Mar 29 2025, 11:03pm | Hello Alex, Entries will open about a month or so in advance of race night. I’ve a few odd bits to tidy up on the event page. I hope to reach on all that jazz in the next week ish. Keep an eye out for updates on here. Thanks, Lillian |
| Paul Flynn | Apr 1 2025, 12:46pm | Hi Lillian, For those of us planning our summer holidays around this race, is the July 18th date set in stone? Thanks, Paul |
| Lillian Deegan | Apr 1 2025, 5:28pm | Hello Paul, I know of no issues around a need to review the date. Saying this in the hope I have the various permits signed off on for July 18th this year. Good luck making the decision for your best kind of downtime :) Lillian |
| Paul Melville | May 20 2025, 12:51pm | Hi, Was just wondering whether this will be any transport available for this event? It appears in the past people have organized mini buses from start/finish. |
| Lillian Deegan | May 20 2025, 1:39pm | Hello Paul, Yep, a bus from Marlay Park will likely be organised to run down to the Clonegal start line. I’ve been really really lucky in recent year’s with my deputy RD taking charge of the prep for this aspect of the event. So… Afternoon IMRA folk, Thanks a lot to those who have hopped in already to help on this 80 miler. Fair play guys! Anyone fancy taking on DRD for this gig. I can promise the 20 odd hours + of racing will fly by ultra fast. And with thanks to Joe O’Leary at Lauragh on the Beara last Friday night, I’m gonna ask the money man at National can I buy tonnes and tonnes of incense sticks for Avril & Mick H’s aid stops They work an absolute treat keeping the midges away off. |
| Michael McSweeney | May 20 2025, 2:06pm | Ah Lillian, They didn't have the incense burning to keep away the midge. That was just a secondary benefit. ;-) |
| Lillian Deegan | May 20 2025, 11:09pm | Oh now Michael, the whiff took my breath away leaving me speechless for a bit. I kid you not :) So WW Race day hopefuls, the race page has been updated. • The shop will open on June 4th and close on July 4th. • We have an extra ask in here this year on Support Runners - a need for them to be IMRA members for insurance purposes. Along with mention of any participant who takes a support runner from Glendalough onwards not being in contention for a prize. I’ll get other odd bits ‘n bobs posted in the coming weeks. Something to consider for the immediate - if you are looking for a nice handy last long race jaunt, the Tucker is a great option. The shop for GTT is open at the mo and will close in a few days. Once it’s closed, it’s closed. Trackers and the like need to be finalised ahead of event day by the RD and his team. All the best with your race prep for July 18th folks. Lillian (& my silent DRD for now) |
| Eamonn Hodge | Yesterday, 2:21pm | Hi Lillian, Is it still a 9pm start even though it's in the summer? I'm hoping to be able to enter this year. Eamonn |
