Registration- There will be three tables which you need to follow in order. Registration will be busy so be patient with us.

Table 1 - Please tell the volunteer your name and race number so that they can highlight your name so we know that you are here

Table 2 - Collect your race number if you have not collected it already at a previous race this year. Please know your 2024 Race number before you come to the race. You can find this on your myIMRA (take a screen shot of it).

Table 3 – Laptop registration. Please inform laptop operator if you are taking the early start. **there will be no chips required for the Wicklow Way Half this year(2024)**

Early Start- There is an early start at 9am. Have a check back over previous year’s results to give you an idea of the times. If you think the 22k may take you longer than approx. 2hr 40mins please take the early start. Your race time remains the same, you just have a little head start! Faster runners who take the early start, the race director reserve the right to adjust their time.

During the race – The Wicklow Way Half follows the way marked trail over to the barrier at Crone Woods and then back again. It is away marked trail so keep your eyes on the yellow man arrows. When you arrive at Crone, you must tap the barrier, there will be water to refill your water bottle. (IMRA have a no cup policy so you will need to provide your own bottle/cup). Please shout out your race number here for the volunteers so we have all runners accounted for on the turn-around. Trail runners are recommended.

IMRA emergency number is on the back of your race number if required, phone calls only, no texts (it will be me who answers) if you decide to abandon the race at any point you must ring me and let me know so we have you accounted for

Please be mind-full of other trail users, no littering, no earphones, you must follow the way marked trail (Yellow walking man), no short cuts allowed, you must cross the stile coming off Djouce and follow the rocky path to the next stile and no whizzing down the faster grassy patch on the near side of the wall, no cutting the zig zags down through Crone Wood, anyone seen doing this will result in a DNF

Look out for each other and enjoy the morning out on the trails.

Finish line- Please have your race number visible when crossing the finish line, as we are not using chip timing , we will be manually catching numbers and times, get your finishers prize and enjoy the post-race chats.
