Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Tried to last year - hill climb champs infact... not too many wanted to go along with it from my MTB club (which is understandable - we ran a lot of other races last year, just not on the ROAD).
I also run low key TTs from time to time...
The problem as see it with running races on difficult terrain is people may not go as it is 'too-hard' a course, so you can't get the numbers. Look at the Shay Elliot race for instance... low numbers these last two years.
Not too sure what the answer is - Ras Mumhan, which was hilly enough, was a great success. Des Hanlon has a reasonable amount of climb but nothing crazy - huge numbers... The races up in Donegal are great (check out my blog and the praise I always give those guys), great course, but less numbers - it is a long way up though.
The sportif crowd is the opposite - the tougher the better

Cool - thanks for that. 110k, cool. I hope we get the A1 count. Nice to see the A3s get a good length race and a standalone for the A4.
Don't forget - Swords have a hill climb race on the Saturday evening before hand too - a good leg opener? 0 -

Think this is the route. Roll out from the Maldron hotel via town centre and on to the course.
The start and finish are my guess from the poster map

Great! Will be able to roll out the bed and on to the start line

You've definitely got a point there. Numbers drop big time when there are a few hills thrown in.
Re: the Shay Elliott it could also be the participation of pro teams which puts some people off.0
