Runamuck Challenge

Hi all, Myself and my partner did the Runamuck last week - Well done to all, it was a brilliant day and hilarious fun – we braved the 10km. We will definitely return to the next event but this time with a much bigger group. I don’t think I have ever seen so many adults of all shapes and sizes have so much fun, everyone was laughing!

Hi Paul, I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you and your team for a most wonderful event. We totally enjoyed doing it and I think we all laughed our way around twice. It was a fun course and everything was impressively well organised. Possibly one of the best aspects of the day was the incredible atmosphere though. Everybody was in such good form- both the competitors and staff. I don’t think I’ve ever been around 4000+ positive & cheerful people. It was great ! Please pass on our thanks to all involved Many thanks, Maura Ryan

Dear Paul, I just want to say a big thank you to you and all those involved in organising the Runamuck Challenge. It was an amazing day and the camaraderie out on the course was heart warming- I have no doubt I wont feel so supple or so generous tomorrow or for the rest of the week. I do however look forward to competing in your next event. Once again I wish to express my gratitude to you, the rest of the organisers and the people who generally worked at the event for giving me such an enjoyable day. Kind regards, Mick Walsh

Paul, Well we finished our Runamuck on Saturday. First timers. We had a brilliant time, it was so so so exciting, though hard so we will know to train a bit more next time. We have not laughed so much in years, and still laughing. Will certainly be doing it next time, with a few more friends and family with us. Loved the guys on the mikes encouraging us to keep going to the finish line.It was great to see so many people and no shortage of help from other participants when needed, especially for me as I am quite small and got stuck a few times in the muck - I was laughing so much I couldn't help myself get out. Thanks a million.

Dear Paul, Many thanks for everything on Saturday. The girls had an absolute ball and the photos are brilliant. Hats off to the DJ. He really played a blinder - the best you've had in years. He was great for getting the girls psyched up before the race. Hopefully see you again next year! Muireann St. Joseph's College, Lucan

Had a fantastic day at Runamuck Challenge to remember our friend Dale. Our age group ranged from late teens right up to the sixties. Each and everyone of us completed the course, some ran twice!!!!!!! We Walked A muck, Jogged A MUck and some Ran A Muck. We will be back next year (with a little more training for some). Our Captain Rhoda came in first for our Team. Thanks again for a brilliant day from all of our team RUNAMOK WITH DALE
