Getting There:

GR S939 591 Instructions from Bunclody. At the crossroads in the centre of Bunclody take the R476 towards Carnew ( right turn if coming from Enniscorthy/Ferns direction on N80, left turn if coming from Carlow/Blessington on N80). After about half a mile the main road swings left but take the minor road straight on up the hill. It will be signposted from here. The start is about 2 miles up this road. To get to Bunclody from Dublin take the N11 to Ferns then branch off at the roundabout in Ferns for Bunclody ( or if you prefer a better road continue on the N11 a few miles south of Ferns and turn right at the next roundabout onto the N80). Alternatively you can come down the N81 through Blessington, Tullow and turn left when you meet the N80

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
