Brian Vallely Race Director

Not many ruuners know but this guy is a genius!
He is one of the top artists in the world still living. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/23386031@N00/3193693085/
He operates under the name of JB Vallely. Just google JB Vallely and you will see. Brian also started the Armagh pipers band. see http://www.armaghpipers.com/index.html His entire family plays music and they are all great musicians.

So between running, Art and music, Ireland has not other to match this irish legend.

Great coverage and great idea to make the trip .....hope you tried at least one Mark

It's hard to find an understated Irishman.....but Mark you found one! Brian Vallely seems like the he's the behind the scenes person who really makes things happen. Glad this event is now getting more attention. Thanks Mark.

Thanks for sharing this interview with fans. It's nice to hear from race directors and others who put on such great events for runners.
