| Michael McSweeney | Jan 21 2025, 1:30pm | https://youtu.be/8KDJeUoAz_4?si=TXhP6CDV7S-utAH4 The above YouTube video was filmed by Ritchie Hodges from Beara last year. It covers the first 60km of the 100 mile route, which is the first 60km of the LITE route. Gives you an idea of what to expect. |
| Stephen Brennan | Jan 21 2025, 2:09pm | Looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to it. Have you decided yet on cutoffs? |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | Jan 21 2025, 6:11pm | Hi Stephen, I’ll be updating the event details later. There will be a cut off of 11hrs at Urhan which is the 60km point. |
| Dave Evans | Jan 22 2025, 11:41am | Hi there, hoping to come down from up North for this. As regards the route from 60k onwards - Eyeries Village from there, over Mish Kish mountain to the finish, will this be marked? |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | Jan 22 2025, 3:50pm | Hi Dave, It will indeed be fully marked. |

| Neil Dowling | Apr 17 2025, 5:47pm | I am planning on running this and have ordered a copy of the Beara Way guide book from Beara Tourism. It hasn't arrived a couple of weeks later and no reply to follow up email and no one's answering the phone. Anyone down that way know if they're seasonly closed at the moment or have I sent my money into the great beyond? Thanks |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | Apr 17 2025, 6:59pm | Hi Neil, I am looking into this for you and I’ll update Zoe I hear back. |
| Neil Dowling | Apr 17 2025, 7:23pm | Thanks Kristen, I appreciate that. |
| Neil Dowling | Apr 18 2025, 5:54pm | Just received an email now to say it's in the post. I'm not sure what magic you worked there Kristen but thanks! |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | Apr 19 2025, 5:53am | That’s great Neil, glad you got sorted. |

| catriona courtney | May 11 2025, 8:33pm | Hey, Looking forward to next weekends run. I'm doing the Lite. Doing some planning and my question is ... will the Firkeel Gap Road Junction marshalls have water for Lite particpants as well as the Ultra . Looks like weather maybe sunny and warm so probably between the Allihes 14.5km and 44.5 km will be longest section w/o aid station . I haven't had chance to recce route (eek!) so not sure if passing shops etc so would be good to know the marshalls at Firkeel Gap Road Junction will have some water. Thanks |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | May 11 2025, 10:02pm | Hi Catriona, there will be water available at Firkeel Gap Junction. See you in Saturday! |

| Brendan Joy | May 14 2025, 8:09am | Does anyone know of anyone driving down the morning of the race from the Kerry direction? |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | Yesterday, 3:36pm | Can all volunteers for the lite dm me your phone numbers so that I can set up a WhatsApp group for logistics. I’m at 0861204931. Many thanks. |
