| Ann Marie Donlon | May 11 2025, 6:55pm | Hi, I am looking for a lift back towards Cork city (Glanmire ideally) on Saturday after the challenge. I would grateful if anyone can help me out. My number is 0868218933 |
| Kate McMullan | May 13 2025, 5:51pm | Hi Stephen, will there be a water stop on the route or should we carry enough for the full race? Thanks. |
| Stephen O Keeffe | May 13 2025, 6:15pm | Hi Katie, There will be two water/aid stations at around 7 km and 13 km. Before and after the ascent of Knockoura. You come back to the same station after the descent. The reason for carrying water from the start being mandatory is purely for safety as it has been very hot recently. There was a couple of runners got heat exhaustion from the heat in Slievenamon on Sunday. There will be an email sent out with all the information on Friday after entries close. See you Saturday Best Regards Stephen |
| Kate McMullan | May 13 2025, 9:34pm | Perfect, thanks Stephen. Yes, looking like a scorcher! |
