Niall CorriganMay 17 2017, 3:39pmHi all, Apologies in advance if we are taking liberties here.
Glendalough Mountains AC are hosting the 2nd Lap of the Gap marathon and half marathon on Saturday 27th of May, in Laragh. We are looking for volunteers to help out manning water stations and major junctions.
To sweeten the deal we are offering half price entry into another race we run in conjunction with Laragh GAA. Run the Ridge is a half marathon that takes place in October and is the only race on the calendar that encompasses the Derrybawn Ridge. www.runtheridge.ie.
If you can help out please contact me on zero86 815four814
Many thanks
Niall

There were many IMRA runners competing both in the marathon and the Glen to Glen Half including Torben Dahl (3rd in the half), Amidou Dembele (6th in the half) and Cormac O'Ceallaigh (10th in the half). Maurice Mullins Trail winner Hannah Carroll showed she really likes 20+ km with lots of climb and duly won the women's title in the half and was 7th overall. This must be her lucky number as she was also 7th overall in the MMT!
