Organisers Instructions:

As is often the case at IMRA races, car parking is limited for this event. Please car pool if possible either from town or from the prizegiving pub (Coach House in Roundwood). NOTE National Parks Limit in place for this race We are limited to 200 runners tonight so please come early and don't be too disappointed if you get turned away.

We have secured parking in a field near the race start for which a small charge will be made in inverse proportion to number in the car -> more people = lower charge :-)!

All monies collected will be donated to a local charity as per the landowners choice.

To encourage and reward car pooling we will charge as follows- charge per car :-)
•Cars with 1 person = €5
•Cars with 2 people = €4
•Cars with 3 people = €3
•Cars with 4 or more = €2

Please park following the marshals' instructions.

Junior Race: The junior race will start at 7:30 from the corner of the forest. This is approx 2km from the main race start, so it is imperative that juniors make their way from the car park no later than 7:15 to get to their starting location on time. The junior route starts with a short down hill run to the wall and then turns left up the hill. The juniors will turn left at the gap in the wall at the top of the ridge and follow the main route back to the finish. They will NOT visit the summit.

No parking permitted on the general roadside as the road is too narrow Please park following the marshals' instructions.'

Under IMRA rules for competitors safety, it is mandatory to bring and carry a jacket that is shower and wind proof for the entire race. Any competitor seen not carrying or wearing their jacket at any stage in the race will be disqualified. There are no exceptions to this rule!
