D'Howth

29 May, 2025 - Mick Hanney

Things I like about Howth.
- Some lovely single tracks.
- The views of Dublin Bay, the sea, the lighthouse
- The IMRA crowd and hospitality
- The fabulous IMRA volunteers
- Not knowing what is next, literally.
- Phil Lynott's resting place.

Things I don't like about Howth.
- Long section of road
- narrow single tracks where is nay impossible to pass
- the odd person barging past you when the room wasn't there to pass
- Meeting oncoming runners on narrow single tracks
- Gareth leading us astray (joking)
- Its been said before, the difficulty in marking, particularly on trails that are overgrown and heavily used by walkers etc. Various runners did a 'medium' course.
- Race flow on the single tracks is problematic with main/early starts & short course
- M50 congestion
