If you ran the IMRA (Irish Mountain Running Association) Wicklow Way Half Marathon last Sunday, you should have received one of these unique buffs/ snoods as a reward for your efforts. The race route was from Lough Tay car park over to Crone Woods and back, 22km and was won in 1:41 in the mens classification and 1:57 in the ladies. Fair dues to all 175 or so who completed it.

The map on the buff was supplied by EastWest Mapping, shows the route in question and is from our popular Wicklow Way Map Guide.

And if you want one, well you know the old saying ‘No Pain, No Gain’ 😊
