Event Postponed to Oct 15th subject to permits from Coillte and National Park, but they both indicated that this should not be a problem. The forecast is quite uncertain, but with the remnants of Hurricane Lee in the mix, it seems definite that there will be rain Sat night and into Sunday morning with the possibility of the river being dangerous to cross. We will look at making back-up courses to fall back on if we are in same situation in 2 weeks. Read More

Maura Higgins and Angus Tyner claimed first in W70 and M45 respectively. Also claiming podium positions were Melanie Walsh and Tivon Tyner with 3rd position in W45 & M12 respectively. Notable mentions to Dave Weston (M50), …
