- Route Description:
Link to strava activity.
Starting across the road from the community centre, the first 0.5 km takes you past an old lime kiln, over a stile into a field, over another stile and down a few steps into a hollow, up a few steps back out of the hollow, and into the trees before emerging on the forestry fire road.
Follow the fire road to its end point at about 1.7km and turn right to take a narrow path up to the trig pillar and communications mast at the summit of Slievereagh at about 3k. At this point, all the climbing is done and it's onto the fire road to continue on a loop back to the start point.
- Getting There:
Registration and race start is at Ballinvreena Community Hall, between Kilfinnane and Garryspillane.
Link to location on Google Maps- Organisers Instructions:
- Registration in 'Davy's Cottage' directly opposite Ballinvreena Community Hall. Tea and sambos in the cottage afterwards also.
Please make every effort to carpool to the race as the parking is limited and the hall will be in use by the local community on the night also.
This race is open to all and the cost is €5. There is no online pre-registration available. Please arrive at least 30 mins before race start time to give time for race registration.
If you have already run an IMRA race this year, bring the race number given to you at that race as it is valid for the full year.
However, if this is your first IMRA race this year, you must purchase yearly IMRA membership for €10 per person. Please download the membership form, and fill it out beforehand to speed up registration (they will be available on the day too). You will then be given a race number that is used for other IMRA races this year.
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!
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
