| Turlough Conway | Feb 1 2012, 10:51am | Hi Folks There has been discussion and interest on another forum about a hill running group in Connaught. Would involve meeting for leisurely hill runs weekends or perhaps summer evening. Id love to hear from Susie Mitchell and Cormac MacDonnell who were keen to get this going back in 2010. my number is zero8seven 7five2seven66two We need runners to show interest and tehn a date and location for first hill run can be arranged. Hoping to post on IMRA facebook page also. Post here with any comments. Thanks Turlough |
| Cormac MacDonnell | Feb 1 2012, 12:50pm | Hi Turlough, Hope your keeping well. Will give you a call to discuss but would be keen to help get things moving a bit more in the west. Cormac |
| Turlough Conway | Feb 1 2012, 1:23pm | Thats what i thought Cormac: Have set up facebook page called: Mountain and Hill running in Connaught http://www.facebook.com/groups/102676813190044/#!/groups/102676813190044/102679916523067/?notif_t=group_activity Can be used as a focus for discussion and organisation. See you there Turlough |
| Turlough Conway | Feb 2 2012, 9:48am | We have 70 who have joined the Connaught group on facebook since yesterday. Looking for routes particularly in the driving vacinity of Galway city to get a few runs going. I suppose routes with relatively easy options would be good to start with. Any help appreciated |
| Brendan Lawlor | Feb 2 2012, 10:20am | The West's awake - woo hoo! |
| Eoin Keith | Feb 3 2012, 12:41am | Nice work Turlough. Hopefully the start of something big! |
| raymond doherty | Feb 3 2012, 7:28pm | just looking over the site and was wondering if their is any mountain runners in the donegal area |
| Betty Walsh | Feb 4 2012, 5:31pm | "Trail running Connaught" might be a simpler name... If anyone can make it, 2morro 9.30am, Sun 5th, for a hike into the Turks from Glenglosh valley - L879 558. Nice horseshoe 2 do from there - moderate pace! |
| Turlough Conway | Feb 5 2012, 10:37pm | And road running Connaught even simpler Betty! (although also inaccurate) Enjoy the walk. |
| John Cronin | Feb 6 2012, 11:37am | Delighted to see a trail running group around Galway set up, I'd be very interesting in heading out when I can to meet a group of runners and discover some new trails, exciting stuff! |
| Turlough Conway | Feb 7 2012, 5:18pm | Looks like the first run might be in Castlehackett this weekend John.....have a look at the FB page for updates and route etc. |
| Turlough Conway | Feb 9 2012, 3:06pm | Fist Connaught run: CastleHackett (Tuam area) 10:30 this Saturday morning http://connect.garmin.com/activity/60902283#.Ty1uRhfi1wk.email |

| jason leavy | Apr 13 2018, 11:03pm | Hi in relation to trail runs and hill runs in East and south county Galway there is small group of trail runners running every Tuesday evening on the trails in Kilcornan woods, Clarinbridge . Flat but technnical trails, usually running between 5 and 10 km of trials on Tuesday evenings. Meet at the swimming pool car park and depart at 8.00 sharp. Ususally run for 1 - 2 hours and run a shorter 'warm up' lap at the begining if there are new runners joining us for the first time. (ie no-one left lost in the woods!) Usually run all year round depending on numbers. those who run regularly have their own whats app group organizing hill runs in the Burren and SLieve Aughtys, as well as the odd race further afield (Gaelforce/Wicklow Way etc). See Burren Trail Running on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BurrenTrailRunning/ love to see more people joining us, just 3 of us last week but 10 of us a few weeks ago so it varies every week depending on who turns up. |
