Ciaran McAleenanJun 23 2025, 9:23amCongratulations to all runners selected to represent their country at upcoming World Championships and Snowdon race. Not an easy process for racers or selectors. NIMRA were happy to help with the gruelling Granite Peaks Ultra races last month putting so many through their paces. Nothing worthwhile is ever easily conquered. We will follow your progress with interest and support over the coming months.
