| Brian Mullins | Apr 10 2025, 2:16pm | I’m giving the Kerry Round an attempt starting at Kates at 2am tomorrow morning. Thanks to Robbie and Rowan in Primal Tracking for arranging the tracker. Here’s hoping it’s in the postbox when I get home, if not I’m going anyway as the weather is too good not to! Don’t have the tracking link yet but hopefully will post it later. |

| Deirdre O Gorman | Apr 10 2025, 3:12pm | Best of luck Brian, enjoy it! :) |
| Kristen O'Sullivan | Apr 10 2025, 3:53pm | Best of luck Brian! |
| Brian Mullins | Apr 10 2025, 7:28pm | Link here but alack the dot wont be moving as the tracker hasn’t arrived. It’s irrelevant as I’m going anyway so I’ll be moving and that’s the only thing that matters to me!!! https://live.primaltracking.com/kerryround25/ |
| Sam Hand | Apr 10 2025, 9:47pm | Best of luck Brian.! |
| Brian Mullins | Apr 11 2025, 7:32am | Well that didn’t last long, 24km and 3000m, a pitiful effort! The joys of T1D induced ketoacidosis. I must get a new pancreas somewhere…….. |
| Barry Murray | Apr 11 2025, 10:42am | I'll make you some pemmican next time Brian ;) |
| Paul Flynn | Apr 11 2025, 12:00pm | Any info on what the Kerry Round is? I can see the route on the primal tracking page but who came up with it? What are the rules re pacers, GPS, etc? |
| Brian Mullins | Apr 11 2025, 6:19pm | Barry, Pemmican! If it was good enough for Shackleton it’s good enough for me!! Paul, Yeerah look back at the forum in 2020 and you’ll get the long story of its origin but basically it’s a concept of my mind arising out of Bob Graham musings over almost 2 decades ago. Works out around 110km and close to 10,000m so it’s not in the wheelhouse of the other routes, slightly more challenging for a 24hr completion I’d reckon but what do I know given what the young fellas are doing these days! Other long suffering roundists are also looking at routes in Kerry equally as impressive so it’s all just a bit of craic to keep things interesting. I hate rules and was running this pre tracker days so I’m not a bit concerned about all that regulatory madness or precious if someone wants to do it with a tracker tomorrow. |
