    Signed up for this last week.

    Anyone who did it ladt year have any tips?

    Do you need a wetsuit to do it?

    How do you train for this type of event?

    you dont train for it, its a bit of craic, whatever your doing for fitness at the moment will more than suffice.. ( havent done this event but did a similar muck n slobber type thing during the year )

    Done it last year, going to do it again this year. Wetsuit is not essential, but keeps you warmer in cold november air, water and muck - old shortie would do, you can also buy cheap new - 30-40 euro, they sell it in Killary Center. Bring strong tape to fix your old runners to your feet, otherwise you might finish barefeet:D

    Hey guys - how difficult are the obstacles in this? Do you need lots of upper body strength? I'm pretty fit but only started cycling and running this year.. I did Currane challenge and cycle was grand even in windy Achill but not ready to run up that mountain so trekked it instead :( So for Turf Warriors is there anything I can do in advance? Will be out running again this week.. Oh and the fancy dress party - do people dress up?? do many stay over night? Any info would be great, thanks!

    If you have basic fitness level and you not afraid of getting wet, dirty and cold, you will do it. Its a fun run, people help each other at obstacles etc

    Yes, people get dressed for the party, crowd is big, good craic

    Hey,
    I done it last time..lots of fun :) no training needed.just enjoy it.
    Used a compression shirt last time and felt comfort. But take a thick socks or tape for a tight pack.
