    Is anybody planning on doing this race next Sunday? I've just signed but I'm not familiar with the trail and wondered if anyone did it last year and what we can expect?

    Thread here from last year, including a race report. Same route this year as last year. Great route. Cold starting off and wet underfoot in parts. Coming down into Glendalough was a highlight. Save a bit in the tank for the uphill towards Brockagh out of Glendalough. Good luck.

    Supposed to be a great race.

    However, I heard it attracts a real low quality field and therefore is very easy to bag a win. Last year's winner was a total chancer.*

    Hope the rain stops for you. It could be soft going otherwise.

    Really enjoyed it! Tough enough course but it was a lovely run and beautiful weather! Came in in 1.53 and was happy with that!

    Great run yesterday, very well organised and excellent route, being handed a bottle of water as you cross the finish line and free tea and scones were a great touch, thanks to all involved and see you there again next year!

    Ps:Hope the blisters heal in time for the IMRA 25K on saturday ;o)

    Pps: Any race pictures anyone??

    ppps: Go Team!
