Getting There:

Coming from Cork City, go straight through Carragaline and up the Hill towards Minane Bridge. Stay on this road all the way to T junction at Minane Bridge. Turn right. Tracton woods is about 1km on the right. Car pooling is absolutely necessary. There is a large carpark in Carragaline where runners could meet and carpool from there. We have permission to use the local GAA pitch for parking. Its about 500m away. As you hit the T junction in Minane Bridge instead of turning right for the woods turn left. The parking is 100m on the right. If you are an adult with no kids with you please park at the GAA parking. This will leave the parking at the woods free for Juniors and Kids. This will keep them off the main road. Thanks.

Volunteers (Running)

Check with race director if they have a need for people volunteering and running.

While it can be helpful, volunteering in a volunteer and race capacity does not count towards qualifying for end of year prize
