Organisers Instructions:

In an effort to encourage as many people as possible to give the nav challenge a go the navigation will be relatively straight forward with pre-marked maps supplied. There will be a small number of checkpoints to visit with pretty straightforward navigation between them although route choice will be important. I will expect everyone to have the necessary kit in the event of poor weather - compass, spare clothing, mobile phone, some food & drink etc. The distance will be in the region of 10 -12km. In order to gauge the number of maps needed could you please email me at philip@pmbrennan dot ie and let me know if you intend running.

Race Director		Philip Brennan	No
Helper		Thomas O'Sullivan	No

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
