| Robbie Williams | Oct 23 2019, 7:17pm | It’s back for 2020 !! The Moonlight Half Marathon is open for registration. The event is Friday 10th Jan at the earlier time of 10pm , but we still have the nosh up from 1am onwards ! Showers, Irish Breakfast, Cozy Challenge Beanie, bus transfer to start , aid stations all included . See you all then for a nice winter night adventure!! |
| Katherine Reddan | Oct 24 2019, 12:14pm | Hi lads, I have run this 1/2 in daytime. My question is is it suitable for runners with no night running experience ? Thanks, Kat |
| Robbie Williams | Oct 24 2019, 3:37pm | Katherine , once you have a decent head torch (and I always carry a small spare too) you will be fine. Course is marked with highly reflective arrows, to be honest, it’s easier than the day time one in terms of markings as the arrows really stand out at night |
| Joe Collins | Oct 29 2019, 9:22pm | Hi, I'd really like to enter the 1/2 Marathon in January, but cant see a link to enter any where. Maybe I've missed it but any help would be greatly appreciated. Joe |
| David Bosonnet | Oct 30 2019, 8:08am | @Joe, Once you're logged into IMRA, go to https://www.imra.ie/shop/products and you'll see the options to purchase Ballyhoura 1/2, Full Marathon and 2020 IMRA Membership |
| Joe Collins | Oct 30 2019, 9:58am | thanks - just did, looking forward to it :-) |
| Joe Collins | Oct 30 2019, 10:00am | I have decent runners that I use for road running, do I need something more robust in terms of footwear for this? |
| Robbie Williams | Oct 30 2019, 11:52am | Totally depends on weather in week up to it.. If it’s rainy in few days before, defo trail runners, some of river bank sections will be v muddy |
| Joe Collins | Oct 31 2019, 8:01am | Thanks, given the time of year, trail runners might be the way to go |
| Patrick O'Mahoney | Oct 31 2019, 1:22pm | Just registered for this, and turns out it's booked already any chance more spaces might become available or cancellations |
| Mick Hanney | Oct 31 2019, 1:33pm | I thought it was a lottery system? ;-) |

| Linda Twomey | Nov 1 2019, 8:36am | Hi guys, I can't believe the half sold out very quickly. Do you think that they will release more entries as I'd love to do it? Linda |

We are hoping to open the extra places (100) tomorrow evening at 6pm. So hopefully all that want to do this event can get in now. We had to make sure we could host the extra runners and feed and bus you all.. It looks like we are good for that so sign up from 6pm. All the best lads.!! Yours in Trail Running MMRA Team |

| Cian Swanton | Nov 13 2019, 11:19am | Hi there, Three of us looking to sign up for this, is it possible for me to buy three tickets for it? Or do we all need to sign up individually? Thanks in advance, would love a go at this... |
| Gordon Place | Nov 13 2019, 12:13pm | Hi Cian, you each to join imra, get 2020 membership and sign up individually |
| Cian Swanton | Nov 13 2019, 1:44pm | Okay thanks gordon. will do our best. |
| David Tully | Nov 21 2019, 1:09pm | I missed the boat on this entirely - will there be more spaces opening up? I can volunteer + run if that helps. Thanks, David |
| Pádraig Doyle | Nov 21 2019, 10:00pm | Tully, suck it up and do the long one! ;) P. |
| Philip Purcell | Nov 22 2019, 8:32am | Is the half route accessible outside of the race night ? or does it go through private lands? thanks in advance |
| Robbie Williams | Nov 22 2019, 1:13pm | The route is mostly accessible yes.. You may have livestock in some fields but other than that you should be perfect |
| Kevin Lenihan | Nov 22 2019, 2:54pm | A few of us running the first half of the marathon route tomorrow morning at 6.30 if anyone is interested. meeting outside the church at 6.30am. |
| Robbie Williams | Nov 22 2019, 9:46pm | Just a quick note: Lads, due to bus transfer needed to bring runners to race starts, it will NOT be possible to register for the FULL marathon and then drop down. This would bring on a considerable logistical nightmare. Thank you |
| Paul Murray | Nov 29 2019, 6:03pm | Hi, any hope there will be more places add for the half marathon? Can you start a new waiting list? If anyone decides to pull out can we do a transfer? Thanks Paul Murray |
| Kieran Tobin | Nov 29 2019, 7:59pm | Folks - same as Paul. If more places are being made available, I'm interested and please also add my name to the waiting list if another is being started. Thanks, Kieran Tobin |

| Paul Murray | Dec 4 2019, 11:55am | Hi there, I know I enquired about extra places for Ballyhoura 1/2 Marathon. Just wondering with so many people looking, could places from the full marathon (not sold out) be allocated to the half? Just a thought Thanks, Paul Murray |
| John J Barry | Dec 4 2019, 2:35pm | Not that simple Paul. The HALF involves a bus to the start where the FULL doesn't. That is why Robbie will not allow people to drop back from the full to the half.. |
| John Banks | Dec 5 2019, 8:13pm | Dear Santa, May I please be added to the waiting list too & baby Jesus can I’ve two extra entries also. It’s a long shot |
| Robbie Williams | Dec 6 2019, 12:30pm | Lads the half is sold out. We did 2 releases for entry. Cannot take anymore. Also cannot do drop downs from full as require bus transfer. |
