With no races at the moment, we didn’t expect to be writing any reports until IMRA opened up their Virtual replacement for the traditional Killiney Hill Relay.
Rules allowed runners to pick any 2 km stretch within their 2 km radius and run on on Wednesday 15th. To record a result, runners simply had to record their activity and take a photo of themselves before, during or after.
This obviously meant some runners had the rub of the green and access to very fast net downhill courses. Club coach René Borg took full advantage by picking a 2 km drop from the forest line at Scarr mountain to the road in front of his houe at Drummin townland. For his effort he nearly snatched the ‘Pushing the legal limits of the Spirit of IMRA award AKA Downhill Run Only Award’ being awarded 2nd place. Rathfarnham’s Peter O’Farrell somehow contrived to find a faster and more downhill course.
