Parking & Access:

The barrier at the forest entrance will be open from 18:00 until 19:15. It will reopen at 20:15.

Please please car pool from the Ashford house as parking is very tight and you don’t have to go out of your way if your coming from Dublin.. Parking will be in the forest car park and along the access road to the car park. Several marshals will be controlling parking. Your cooperation is essential.

The later you arrive, the further you are likely to be from registration, and the start. The distance may be a kilometre or more, so be sure to allow sufficient time, and if in doubt go to registration ready to run.

Prizegiving Location:

Prize giving will be at the Ashford house n11 as now it’s called for some food etc..

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
