Drive this direction for less than 5 mins � Annacurra is the first turn on the right. Prizegiving Location: The Saltee pub in Annacurra, adjacent to start. The pub serves food at weekends so runners can avail of post-race grub. REGISTRATION: In Anncurra Community Centre opposite The Saltee pub. PARKING: Beside Annacurra church.

- Organisers Instructions:
- A race within a race... Part of the race route will be staked out to allow people self-time themselves on a fast very runnable downhill mile. Simply start your stopwatch when you run through the 1st stake as you start your downhill and stop it when you reach the 2nd stake. The race director will collate any times he receives for inclusion in the race report.
- Prizegiving Location:
- The Saltee pub in Annacurra, adjacent to start. The pub serves food at weekends so runners can avail of post-race grub.
- Notes:
- Course photos � Annacurra is a good 45 min drive from Loughlinstown so leave yourself good time to get there. If you need to register try to get there early.
Volunteers (Non-Running)
You need to have done 2 non-running volunteer roles in a calendar year to qualify for end of year prize
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
