ULTRA Running Clubs

    With the discussion below I'm realising most clubs in Ireland are sprint and middle distance focused. Are there any ULTRA clubs here? Realise it's maybe niche but we have a fair few world class athletes and wondering if any are attached to clubs?

    As an aside it's a shame Ireland can't replicate our ULTRA success in the shorter distances. Lots of world caliber people here at the long stuff but sprints seems very slow comparatively speaking.

    I think Dublin Bay Running Club mainly focus on long distance

    Enduro is a member of Sportsworld, I think he said?

    There's little money in ultras so you don't attract the Africans who dominate middle distance.

    Hard to believe that this isn't trolling.

    3 posts. Ultra running plus dig at shorter distance. Probably easier to pm the person you're looking to troll.

    wow. I ask a simple question and get accused of trolling? No wonder people have left these boards in droves. Not friendly, not welcoming and really no longer relevant.

    Do you actually have anything to add that would answer my question djoucer? If not please don't post here again.

    Lol at the bit about most clubs being sprints focused. Oh how I wish that was true.

    You know you've made it big time, when you've got your own personal trolls.
