Route Description:

Coillte have been quite active in the local forest of late. As a result this year's route will be modified slightly. The route up to Prince William's seat will be the same as previous years, along with the return route to the Wicklow Way and down past Raven's Rock towards the fireroads. However instead of turning right on reaching the fireroad and taking the long loop through the forest, this year the course will return back through the "tunnel" route and down the same fireroads as used in the climb. The overall effect will make the race slightly shorter and a little more technical.

Getting There:

From Enniskerry take the right fork at the clock tower up the Glencree Road past Kilgarron Park and Kilmolin. Just at crest of hill after passing turn for Glencullen on right, you will see sign for Pet Cemetary, turn right into narrow lane to reach parking area. Parking is courtesy of the O'Toole brothers who have requested a donation to charity. There will be a collection at the gate.

Organisers Instructions:

Registration is in O'Toole's field (see "Getting There" instructions above) and will be open from 6:15 to 7:15. Please call to Powerscourt Arms in Enniskerry (the prizegiving location) and fill your car with runners before driving up to the event. Annual registration is €10 (€5 for the unwaged) and race registration is €7 (€4 for the unwaged). Bring exact change if you can to help smooth registration. If you've never run an IMRA race before, it would be helpful if you can bring an already completed copy of the following form: Membership Form 2011. If you've run in previous years, the laptop operator will print you out a form with your previous details for you to double check and sign. Make sure you hand back your number after the race

Prizegiving Location:

Powerscourt Arms, Enniskerry

Notes:

This race starts on the lane leading up to the forest, and finishes back in the field where we registered. When leaving the event please take care for runners coming in to the finish as the gate is one-way. The route is a mixture of forest road, forest

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
