| Robert Cunningham | Apr 22 2019, 10:14pm | Hi Maria. The route for the half is different this year as we're running the Marathon in reverse.The route for the half will be the same as the Ballyhoura moonlight challenge which was ran earlier in the year. |

| Gaelan Elliffe | Apr 28 2019, 10:44am | I have signed up and paid fo the half marathon. I injured myself a few weeks ago. As per my physio's instructions I wont be running the half marathon next week. Is it possible to run the 10k instead? Thanks, Gaelan |
| Robbie Williams | Apr 28 2019, 4:27pm | That’s fine Gaelan |
| Rich Costelloe | Apr 28 2019, 8:11pm | Hi I see the half-marathon starts in Ballyorgan and ends in Kilfinane. If we park at Kilfinane is there a group bus out to the start? Thank you |
| Paul Minogue | Apr 29 2019, 10:03am | Hi folks. Is the route for the half going the same direction as in the midnight marathon? Thanks. |
| Robbie Williams | Apr 29 2019, 1:42pm | It is indeed Paul |
| Robbie Williams | Apr 29 2019, 1:43pm | Hi Richard, Yes all will be in email going out later today. Bus will bring go you to the start |
| Elizabeth Wheeler | Apr 30 2019, 10:41am | Robbie, I won't make the trail race at the weekend. Not sure if you have a waiting list that you are allocating places to, but thought it would be best to let you know. Enjoy the race everyone! |
| Grace Egan | Apr 30 2019, 12:17pm | Robbie, I am also out for the half due to injury. |
| Robbie Williams | Apr 30 2019, 12:59pm | Half marathoners... Anyone that is entered that cannot do the half due to training deficit or injury, if able can run the 10km on the day no problem, just sign in for the 10km distance instead. I know some injuries may not let you but might be better than no race at all.. |
| Patricia McLoughlin | May 3 2019, 8:16am | Is there transfers allowed or on the day register as online has shut down now. Thx |
| Robert Cunningham | May 3 2019, 12:15pm | Patricia, Sorry There's no transfers and no registration on the day. |
| Deirdre Galvin | May 4 2019, 6:27pm | Just wanted to thank all the organisers and volunteers for a great day out. Loved the new route. Of course the Munster Weather Gods deserve a standing ovation! Epic all round. |
| Daniel Sheahan | May 4 2019, 6:33pm | Big thanks to Robbie and all the volunteers for putting together such a great day in the Ballyhouras, great organisation, hospitality and camaraderie all round. |
| Hazel stapleton | May 4 2019, 6:45pm | Many thanks for a most enjoyable half marathon today. Superb organisation. |
| Mick Hanney | May 4 2019, 7:28pm | A huge thanks to all those involved in today. It was a mammoth operation with the 4 races on and it went brilliantly. 2 observations re: the marathon / half-marathon. Similar to the Maurice Mullins races it would have been good to have wrist bands to colour code the different races, to know who is around you whether they are actually in your race or not. In addition, in January I think the half marathon started a half hour later again, which meant that only the very fast half runners past the marathon field. Having the half-marathon start so soon after leaders of the full coming through half-way meant that we (in the full) were passed by the majority of the half marathoners (such was our relative slowness) :-) I certainly felt slow so many past me :-) |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 4 2019, 7:47pm | Super well done and thanks to Robbie, Tom, Tricia and all the volunteers and helpers for a great festival of hillrunning today in the Ballyhouras. Flawless organization, lovely mixed route, great food and beer at the finish and of course the fantastic Munster weather! |
| Barry Ahern | May 4 2019, 8:52pm | Hi just wondering when the results will be on the website, thanks? |
| Kevin O'Riordan | May 4 2019, 9:14pm | The ones from January or today? ;-) |
| Mick Hanney | May 4 2019, 9:53pm | I don't get this rush to ask the question when will results be up? They will be up in due course when the volunteers, many of whom were working late last night, or up ridiculously early today to organisation this festival of running, get a chance. With 4 events and early starts and other potential issues, its not always straightforward. Hope the volunteers have a nice remainder of the Bank Holiday weekend after their great efforts today. Results will arrive when ready. |
| Barry Ahern | May 4 2019, 9:53pm | Todays Ballyhoura results Kevin? |
| Brian Flannelly | May 4 2019, 11:29pm | Results are now up for this event - any questions/queries on them, please email: brian <dot> flannelly <at> imra <dot> ie |
| Conor O'Farrell | May 6 2019, 3:04pm | Thanks to everyone involved in what was a monumental event with 4 races and tonnes of food, prizes and volunteers Also,a Trojan effort from Brian to get all of the results up on the same day. I can attest as to how difficult this can be for one race, let alone 4. Thanks again to Robbie and the rest of the volunteer team. Con |
