Charles Barrington Memorial
IMRA’s year drew to a close this weekend as the Charles Barrington Memorial race was won by Richard McCauley in his first IMRA race in 9 years with Rathfarnham’s Laura Flynn 1st woman. This race commemorating Irishman Charles Barrington, one of the three men to first ascent the Eiger…
The race is held every year on the Great Sugarloaf in North Wicklow. The Sugarloaf route is known as a very rocky and technical descent and runner-up Paul Mahon described the conditions as some of iciest he’d seen making this a true contest for technical descenders.
The Djouce trail race, scheduled the following, had to be cancelled by the organisers due to very icy conditions in Djouce Woods.
