| Robert Costello | Oct 9 2017, 1:21pm | Any plans for a Christmas IMRA race folks? *ducks for cover for mentioning Christmas in October!* |
| Gavan Doherty | Oct 9 2017, 1:35pm | Hi Robert, I should hold off until November 1st, but here goes! Last year we resurrected the Djouce Djog on Dec 27th: https://www.imra.ie/events/details/id/1409/ I'm happy to RD the same again this year. That said I suspect the committee will be either brand new/focusing on 2018 (or burnt-out!) so it might be an informal gathering rather than a formal IMRA race. Cheers, |
| Jeff Swords | Oct 9 2017, 1:51pm | The Christmas Turkey run is on the IMRA Google calendar for 2017, might have been dragged over from last years calendar though. |
| Martin Bagnall | Oct 9 2017, 5:21pm | Yep, it was included on the Google Calendar for this year as it appeared on the Events page at the time I added the entries. I've removed it now; I'll add it back in if it gets added to the Events page. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Oct 10 2017, 10:24am | Hi It would certainly be easier on both the outgoing and incoming committees if this was an informal non official IMRA event I suspect |
| Laura Flynn | Oct 10 2017, 10:36am | This is not an offical IMRA event. |
| Neil Gilleran McLoughlin | Nov 2 2017, 2:12pm | Hey guys sorry to drag up an old post! Myself and a few friends attended last year and it was a great day. If this is going to be unofficial where will this be posted? I'd have a gang of us looking to do it again this holiday period. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Nov 2 2017, 2:21pm | Hi Neil, there will be an announcement about the event on Dec 27th (which will be happening) early next week |
| Neil Gilleran McLoughlin | Nov 2 2017, 2:27pm | Thanks Brendan, I'll look forward to the announcement. |
| Laura Flynn | Nov 15 2017, 8:47pm | It’s been decided to run the Djouce event on December 27th as an official IMRA event and, more importantly, as a race in memory of our IMRA members who have passed away during the year. The A-Team of Gavan O’Doherty, Vivian O’Gorman and Brendan Lawlor have kindly agreed to take charge. In the spirit of the season and event, the proceeds of the race will be donated to charities chosen by the families. Spread the word for what we hope will be a fitting tribute and memorial to our much-loved friends. |
| Andrew Hanney | Nov 15 2017, 8:49pm | Great news, looking forward to it! |
| Williams Ava | Nov 15 2017, 9:00pm | Hey there I didn't realise there would be one more IMRA and I through out my number after the Powerscourt Ridge race last week so if I wanted to run Djouce on the 27th what will I do about my number? And how long is this course? Thanks. |
| John Condon | Nov 15 2017, 9:28pm | Hi Williams, as Laura stated, this isn't an official IMRA race so it's no biggie if you don't have your number. |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Nov 15 2017, 9:33pm | Eh I think Laura said it was an official race... :-) Don't worry we can get you a new (handwritten) number. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Nov 15 2017, 9:47pm | Hi all This will now an official IMRA event but as its Christmas time and a rememberance event for the friends we very sadly lost this year, we wont be putting too many demands on our new committee We will replace lost numbers We will encourage fancy dress The race will be marked (its about 7km from memory) We will have a few spot prizes But most importantly we will want to remember Mike Gomm, Mike ' Curley' Cunningham, Maurice Timmins, and Adrian Tucker (and others from earlier years too) in the way they would all want to be best remembered, running in the hills and forests with friends who share their same mad passion More info to follow ... |
