| Paul Keville | May 15 2019, 4:46pm | Unusual request for a volunteer. I recce'd the Prince William seat route and on one of the trails a tree has fallen and blocked it. It will either have to mean a complete re-routing of the race or if there is anyone out there who has a chainsaw and willing to hike 2km up to the tree spend approx 20mins cutting and clearing we can have the same route. It is a nice route and I think it's worth keeping it. If there is anyone who can do this unusual task please let me know. |
| Stuart Scott | May 15 2019, 4:58pm | Can we add 'chainsaw operator' to the list of volunteering roles? It'd be a worthy substitute following the demise of the 'tin whistle player'! Unfortunately I can't help Paul. I presume it's too big for a manual saw? |

| Justin Rea | May 16 2019, 6:18pm | Myself and Jason cleared a similar sized tree on that same path last year. I can help with this. We got vehicle access sorted so not to onerous. Give me a shout at 3Rock |
| Paul Keville | May 24 2019, 12:17am | I am in need of a race marker and a few more volunteers for this race. If you can fill these roles please put your name down early. |
| Paul Keville | May 27 2019, 1:54pm | It is getting close to this race and I am still without a race marker. I am also short a number of helpers. don't forget that you will need to get your volunteer roles to get your end of league prize. |
| Sarah Jones | May 28 2019, 9:35am | Myself and partner are happy to cut the tree out of path. I'm new to imra so will need a pin drop or so to find the area that needs work. |
| Justin Rea | May 28 2019, 2:57pm | @Sarah we sorted it. Paul and I performed gardening duty on the route and cleared trees and low hanging branches in a few places. Thanks for the offer. |
| Paul Keville | May 30 2019, 8:22am | Last call i will make for volunteers. Race marker and some more volunteers needed. Ifni don't have enough the race can't go ahead. Looking at other up and coming events there is a low uptake in volunteers. Don't leave the race directors panicking for helpers. Sign up early |
| Henny Brandsma | May 30 2019, 10:25am | Hi Paul, I am down for a helper for this race and see you are still stuck for a race marker,I am not really familiar with this new course and my injury prevents me from walking long distances, but with the help of a second person could maybe solve the problem with marking, you can contact me at 087-7604825.Henny |
| Alan Eddie | May 30 2019, 2:58pm | Hi there just volunteered, would like to run, but happy not to, if needed to do whatever you need. Thanks. |
| John Shiels | May 30 2019, 3:46pm | I should be back from Kerry by Wednesday so you can put me down as a helper, whatevery you need. John |
| Paul Keville | Jun 2 2019, 12:42am | thanks for all the volunteers who came forward. I still need a race marker but if any of the volunteers wish to change to race marker please let me know. I have enough non running volunteers now. to the volunteers I sent you an email. please get back to me with your role preference. |
| Stuart Scott | Jun 2 2019, 1:09am | Hi Paul. I might be able to mark the route on Tuesday evening if that's acceptable? Stuart |
| Pól Ó Murchú | Jun 2 2019, 2:39am | Not Stuart Scott marking...please no! He’ll have us running through every furze bush in sight! |
| Kieran Morrisroe | Jun 2 2019, 11:53am | I could give Stuart a hand with the route marking sent! He can show me the ropes... |
| Brían O'Meara | Jun 2 2019, 2:06pm | Echoing what Robbie said, thanks to Vivian & team. Cracking race as always. |
| Brían O'Meara | Jun 2 2019, 2:08pm | Whoops, meant for carauntoohil |

| Paul Keville | Jun 3 2019, 5:02pm | I have sent an email to the webmaster. I'm hoping that this issue will be resolved and online entries can be opened up again later. Again I'm hoping to have entries open till 6pm Tuesday (tomorrow) before the event. |
| Paul Gonnelly | Jun 3 2019, 6:31pm | Same, no option to register |
| Conor O'Farrell | Jun 3 2019, 6:39pm | Should be good now guys. I've reopened it in the shop now. |

| Alan Kilbride | Jun 4 2019, 12:17pm | Hi there, Looking forward to the run tomorrow (and the rain!) Could someone confirm if this is the correct location for the car park please? There are two bridge roads in the same area which doesn't help! https://www.google.com/maps/dir//53.2066389,-6.2079967/@53.2119935,-6.2171399,15.25z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e2 Thanks!! Alan. |
| John McCann | Jun 4 2019, 2:22pm | Looks right to me Alan, head for that spot and you won't be far wrong. My weather apps are saying the rain will be gone by tomorrow so I'm staying optimistic on that front :-) |
| Ruaidhri Fernandes | Jun 4 2019, 4:25pm | Hi, My nephew is 10 and would like to run a junior race. What are the age limits and how does he go about registering for a race? Thanks, Rui |
| Paul Gonnelly | Jun 4 2019, 6:06pm | Hi Conor, I was just trying to register there but missed the deadline...is it possible to register still? I had tried last few days but there was an issue with it |
| Brian McDermott | Jun 4 2019, 6:13pm | Ah dang. Didn't realise registration ended this early. I have the same question as the gentleman above. |
| Brian McDermott | Jun 4 2019, 6:13pm | Ah dang. Didn't realise registration ended this early. I have the same question as the gentleman above. |
| Andrew Hanney | Jun 4 2019, 6:20pm | @Paul / Brian... you both have a 2019 race number so you just need to buy a voucher off somebody in the voucher queue tomorrow to run. |
| Brian McDermott | Jun 4 2019, 6:23pm | @Andrew Thanks for the info. Can I ask, are these the 50 euro vouchers which I see are on sale on the site? Or can someone simply sell you enough for one race? |
| Andrew Hanney | Jun 4 2019, 8:58pm | Exactly you can buy a book of ten races for 50 euro, or ask somebody on the voucher queue tomorrow if they’d be so kind as to sell you one race from their card. It’s a fairly regular occurrence. |
| Caoimhin MacMaolain | Jun 5 2019, 9:52am | Ruaidhri - your nephew will need to register online as an IMRA member for 2019 - a fiver for juniors. He will then need to enter a race online by 6pm the day before, or turn up on the race day with a voucher without pre-registering. Check the event details section for any race to see whether there is a suitable junior route. Most of these have been around the 3kms mark for Leinster league races this year. At 10, he is probably at the younger end - but there are definitely junior routes that he can do. |
| Jenny Uí Shé | Jun 5 2019, 11:50am | Hi a friends son registered this Morning and has a race Number can he come this evening? Thanks Jenny Ps he buying a voucher from me |
| John J Barry | Jun 5 2019, 1:59pm | As long as he is registered with IMRA for 2019, 'YES' he can if you are providing a voucher. |
| Siobhán Lyons | Jun 5 2019, 4:28pm | Hiya is voucher check-in at powerscourt arms or race car park this eve? What is latest check-in time? Thank you. |
| John J Barry | Jun 5 2019, 5:42pm | Its the car park and typically ~1915 check-in closes |
| John Condon | Jun 5 2019, 9:07pm | Big thanks to Paul and all volunteers for a great race this evening. Special hat tip to Justin O’Keefe and his cow bell. |
| Ross Fitzgerald | Jun 6 2019, 8:16am | Well done Paul and crew, another great night on the hills. Superbly marked and marshalled throughout |
| Andrew Hanney | Jun 6 2019, 8:39am | Well done Paul and volunteers, PWS is a superb course. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Jun 6 2019, 8:40am | Well done and thank you to Paul, Justin and crew for another tough evening in the hills ! |
| Paul Grant | Jun 6 2019, 9:45am | Thanks to Paul and all the volunteers - it was a great evening on the hills. The course was really well marked and there were loads of marshals on a pretty wintry evening. The cow bells were great encouragement! |
| Conor O'Farrell | Jun 6 2019, 10:46am | Hi All Results are now up. Any queries to results@imra.ie Thanks Con |
| Pádraig Doyle | Jun 6 2019, 11:20am | EARLY STARTERS: Can any early starters please flag your result to results@imra.ie if the time listed doesn't reflect your 7pm start time. We caught most but I believe a few of your results from last night currently seem an impressive 30 minutes faster than your usual time :) Millions of thanks. Padraig. |
| Laura Flynn | Jun 6 2019, 11:28am | Thanks Paul and your cheery team for last nights race. Great to see you getting presented with your well-deserved Wicklow Round plaque at last. Nice race reports too...such talent. Someone said to me recently that aside from the top 10 or so," sure, everyone else is just running for a bit of fun"!!! I think Miriam you're report has put that myth to bed. |

| Jeff Swords | Jun 6 2019, 12:03pm | "Fun runners"?. That person has offended about 200 people! |
| Miriam Maher | Jun 6 2019, 12:15pm | Ha! Laura that was me that made that glib comment...gobbling back my words now. Jeff - please don’t take offense ;-) I was more referring to the overall race winning contenders - not the many epic mini battles that go on in the minds of the rest of us :-) |
| Jeff Swords | Jun 6 2019, 12:51pm | You're a marked person now Miriam, I've just added you to my list. |
| Alan Eddie | Jun 6 2019, 2:41pm | Just stuck up photos, didn't get all the pack running! |
| Justin Rea | Jun 10 2019, 3:40pm | There were some uncollected prizes that will be available for collection from RD at Scarr: 1st Female: Aoife Coffey 3rd Male: Alasdair Brown M60: Conor Nolan |
| Conor Nolan | Jun 13 2019, 4:41pm | Prizes! I didn't know there were prizes too :) Brendan didn't know of anything of them last night. I should be at Crone next week for Djouce. |
| Paul Keville | Jul 2 2019, 10:12am | For everyone who parked at Prince William's seat, all the money collected was donated to purple house cancer support centre. At total of €359.40 was collected. Thanks to all |
