- Organisers Instructions:
- Registration and Race Details
Registration will be from 09:15 to 10:45.
As this is one of the first Leinster Winter League races of the year, please come early as race numbers have to be issued.
As the race is less than 8 kilometers there will be no early start.
There is a junior route and there will be a marshals at the points where they split from the main race. Please note U10 must be accompanied on the race route by a parent or guardian.
For more information on Updated Junior runners policies, copy this link to your browser: https://www.imra.ie/forum/topic/id/5487
The course will be fully marked and in general you should follow the trail you’re on and only change direction where you see markings coming up to a turn or junction and the turn will generally be to the side that the markings are on.
Where we feel there might be problems, we’ll have a marshal positioned
