Getting There:

OSI Mapsheet 62: T 108 691 Google maps: "Annaghgap". From Dublin: best route is to take the N11 Exit 22 (Gorey/Inch) at roundabout take 3rd exit (Gorey/Carnew/Inch), at next roundabout take 1st exit (Gorey/Carnew), and immediately take next right, going over humpback bridge. Follow this road straight (from here to pub about 10k), through Kilanerin, keep straight on road until it ends at junction, turn right on road for 700m to Gap pub. Alternate: to Rathnew, take the exit to Rathdrum. From Rathdrum: drive through Aughrim, then R747 towards Tinahely for 10k, at crossroads take left (instead of right for Tinahely), continue straight for 8k to carpark of The Gap pub. From Gorey: take Hollyfort road for 12k to the Gap pub.

Organisers Instructions:

Registration opens at 11:00am and closes at when Car-Park is full, or 11.45am, whichever comes first. Mandatory kit- windproof jacket. Early start. 11.30 As per new rules there is NO cash entries on the day. Please pre-register online or 'pay' using your IMRA voucher. Online registration / payment will close on the Friday evening, to allow race entries to be finalised on the race laptop. Please car pool as much as possible as car parking spaces are limited. Terrain is ARDUOUS with all types of surface including mud and rock. Grippy trail shoes recommended. I found inov8 mudclaws best. No grip, you'll slip. Juniors. Juniors should be experienced IMRA runners and okay to run on offroad conditions. A junior turn will be signposted or marshalled just after the 2k mark. Any juniors can turn around at that point onto the homeward part of the course. Total junior distance will be c. 5k. Total junior climb c. 260m.

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
