- Getting There:
- The start of the race will be in the Nire-Valley Car-Park. Registration will be at the car-park.
To get there the easiest route is from Ballymacarbary and cross the bridge and follow the signs for Nire Valley Church and/or Hanoras Cottage. Pass both of these until the road ends. This is the car-park for the start.
There is limited parking at the carpark in the Nire. Last year some people parked at the community centre in Ballymacarbary and car-pooled from there.

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
