By my count, there are 19
By my count, there are 19 different countries listed among the Chapters. We had officially 13 sign up for events at IBRD.
And, the Norwegians are definitely the best. They run Olso to Trondheim in just 13 hours. They jump fjords in single bounds. They're almost as good as the Swedes. Right, Nyal?
Cheers

Thanks for the update. Glad
Thanks for the update. Glad to know there is no rivalry between Swedes and Norwegians! Born in the UK I have some genes from that part of the world. Hope it helps my running.

I wan once in a race in Oslo and there were several very famous Swedes running inthe event. They were among the best Sweden had to offer and had won several cross country skiing events just six months prior. In fact, they were given the first few bib numbers, much to the ire of some of the home favorites like the legendary Jahre Oleg Svansen and the immortal Egil Skalagrimsson. Big names here.
I will never forget hearing the distant gunshot from the back of the pack. Soon enough, the surge of the rapidly accelerating human flood of stomping marathoners lurched forward. Something was wrong, though. The river moved awkwardly around something blocking its progress. Being near the very back of the pack, I watched in curiosity as it split into two streams arond whatever was the trouble. Eventually, I reached the blockage myself. The Swedish stars were having a hell of a time with those damn Atomics strapped to their feet.

Get a few people from Ireland
Get a few people from Ireland to show interest in a chapter, and we will make it happen. Just let me know when you have them together. Of course, we would need someone to have a serious interest in heading up the chapter and seeing it through.
