| Brendan Lawlor | Apr 4 2025, 12:53pm | The European and World Masters Hillrunning Championships have now been listed as events on the IMRA calendar. Thank you to Jeff Swords for this. We will add further information in the coming weeks and there are two very active Whats app groups to discuss travel logistics, accommodation, team formation, training etc. Please contact me on 0h87two432798 if you want to be included and to find out more information. We have had very strong Irish representation at these Championships over the past few years, with dozens of medals won across multiple age categories. We hope to continue this again this year so please get in contact if you are interested.. YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!! |
| Graham K. Bushe | Jun 30 2025, 2:57pm | Hi All, I have just had a very quick look at our entries spreadsheet. ideally, 3 runners in an age category forms a team (additional runners can boost a teams performance by displacing opposition runners further down the finishing places) Occasionally 2 runners may score as a team, but only in categories where other countries do not have 3 runners. While we look really good with 25 teams across all categories (total 54), Our file shows that we could really do with the following. F35, 2 uphill, 1 classic F40, 2 uphill, 3 long F55, 1 classic, 2 long F60, 2 uphill, 2 classic, 2 long F65, 1 classic, 3 long M40, 1 uphill, 1 classic, 3 long M45, 1 long M60, 1 uphill, 1 classic, 3 long M65, 1 long M70, 3 long Current entry fee listed until tonight. I believe prices increase tomorrow. Spread the word if you think you might know someone who would be interested. |
| Graham K. Bushe | Jul 24 2025, 11:58am | Hi again everyone. Quick update. Entries to the World Masters close on August 3rd. (I think that's midnight Italian time) Please don't miss the date. Spread the word to anyone else you might think would be interested. We have a great contingent travelling, but still need a few more to complete teams. F35, 1 uphill F40 1 uphill, 3 long F55 1 classic, 2 long F60 2 uphill, 1 classic, 2 long F65 1 classic, 3 long M40 3 long M45 1 long M60 3 long M65 2 long M70 3 long Just because other categories already have 3 or more, don't let that stop you. More runners can boost a teams performance, by beating the opposition team runners. |
| Graham K. Bushe | Aug 3 2025, 12:30pm | Calling F40 to F44... your country needs you... The World Masters Mountain Running Championships is being held in Meduno Italy from 29th to 31st August. 3 runners make a team. We would love to get one more F40-44. Just imagine the pride of putting on the Irish singlet and representing your country at the World Championships Please pass this on to friends, club mates... and even those you might normally be competing against. For this we're ALL Team Ireland. And as usual, we're under time pressure. Entries close tonight |
