Route Description:

Organisers Instructions:

Same race route as 2020. 2021 race is open for entries until the sale cap is reached. The majority of entries are accounted for from deferrals from last years race. Those people who deferred should see that they are entered on the race event page.

For 2021 we have renamed race to distinguish it better from the main Maurice Mullins Ultra event.

This route, is a new route since 2020, from Lough Tay (Pier Gates, new car park) to Crone wood (yellow barrier) and back. 11k out, 11k back. Garmin link: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/5220082507

The start time is 9.30am. There will be an early start at 9.00am for runners. Early starters would typically be >160% of a winners time in an IMRA race. The race director reserves the right to adjust finish times for early starters to at least 160% of winners time.

MANDATORY KIT is showerproof jacket must be carried/worn during all IMRA events. Entrants should make themselves familiar with IMRA covid-19 guidelines which includes the mandatory use / carrying of a buff/face mask. And, wearing a visible race no. If this is your first IMRA race a race no. will be given out to you at registration.

We intend to use chip timing. If this is your first race you will be allocated a chip to wear on your runner.

Runners should always follow the Wicklow Way. The standard WW yellow markers refer. No short cuts allowed along the Wicklow way e.g. above Crone wood.

Optional kit. Mobile phone. Also, water. Runners should be self-sufficient in that respect. There is no Aid Stations on the route. We may have a limited supply of water at the turn around point at Crone Wood. Only take water here if you need it. Runners should bring their own collapsible cup / drinking bottle and can self-serve themselves with water. If its a hot day the supply could run out so again I'd suggest that a runner be self sufficient if you would normally need water on a 20+k run.

Prizegiving Location:

At finish line.
