- Start at Glendalogh Hotel. Follow St. Kevin’s Way until the old mine works are reached. Slightly past these a smaller trail veers off to left. This trail can be followed with care to just below steepening on to east shoulder to Camaderry East Top. You are now on main track across Camaderry. Follow high ground /track until Turlough Hill is reached. Runners must pass around upper reservoir (west side). From top your descent to Wicklow Gap is up to yourselves. There will be a cut off at Wicklow Gap. There will also be a short course option back down St Kevin’s Way from here. Continue to top of Tonlagee. From here descend to the Brockaghs. Care advised here if weather is poor to avoid mistakes. Tracks and paths are inclined to pull you towards Glenmacnass. Once on top of Brockagh follow track until it hits the Wicklow Way. A short run along Wicklow Way to finish at Hotel. Care is advised by tired runners making road crossing just before hotel. Hopefully we’ll have a marshal in place. Map to follow shortly

Volunteers (Non-Running)
You need to have done 2 non-running volunteer roles in a calendar year to qualify for end of year prize
Volunteers (Running)
Check with race director if they have a need for people volunteering and running. Race directors need a minimum number of people available throughout the race to make the race work so non-running volunteers are preferable. While it can be helpful, volunteering in a volunteer and race capacity does not count towards qualifying for end of year prize
