| Brian Kitson | Jul 18 2018, 3:38pm | With some unfinished business from last year, please accept this as official notice that myself, Brian Kitson, and Warren Swords will be attempting the Wicklow Round this weekend. Our plan is to set off between 2am-3am on Saturday morning, exact time tbc. We’ll be adhering to the new IMRA Wicklow Round rules and will be supported by some of our legendary Trailrunners friends at the designated points along the route. We’ll stick up the tracker link before we go. So, once more with feeling… |

Have a great run and enjoy it as much as you can and don't forget to swing by Tonduff North on your travels and cheer the aul mountain up a bit, it's feeling a bit neglected after recent round attempts :) |
