| Lucy McCann | Feb 26 2018, 1:37pm | Hi I am 18(Girl)and hoping to take part in the run on April 8th in The European trials in Slievenamon, I am a cross country runner but want to get some mountain practice in before the race, can anyone recommend where I could practice or are there any groups going out that I could join over the next few weekends. I live in kildare but can travel. |
| Gordon Place | Feb 26 2018, 2:44pm | Hi Lucy, There's a couple of marked races left before then, might be worth trying one? I don't know the Slievenamon course so can't say which are similar, someone else might be more help? Up around Ticknock and Tibradden is handy in terms of parking and not getting lost, the first three routes below are around there, all below are IMRA race routes.

| Laura Flynn | Feb 26 2018, 3:13pm | Hi Lucy, there are 2 more races left in our Winter/Spring League - Maulin this weekend, weather permitting and Annagh Hill. Even if you did them as training runs rather thann flat out racing it should be a good experience for you. I hope to be at Maulin myself so come over and say hello and Ill try and answer any questions you might have. If you don't have a a lift there is a car-pool facility on the website also. Just make sure and register for the year first which you will need to do online. |
| Ray Lonergan | Feb 27 2018, 10:17pm | Hi Lucy, Tom Blackburn will be holding a hill Training day on Saturday the 10th of March in Lisvernane, in the Glen of Aherlow,(Approx 90mins drive from Kildare). I did one of Tom's hill training days a few years ago and as well as being great value I learned loads about hill running technique and form. Highly recommend it.
