| Liam Vines | Dec 15 2024, 9:23pm | Storm Darragh has made some mess of Djouce woods including our Remembrance Race route, so we are moving to Pier Gates for parking and registration. Same date 27th December same time 10am race start. We are working on a route trying to take into account the large number of walkers and mountain bikers that will also be trying to use the same area on the morning. So, all I can tell you so far is there will be running probably some walking lots of muck a bit of fire road and some new trails. Keep an eye on the forum for more route updates. Entries will open on Wednesday morning. |
| Andy Keeling | Dec 18 2024, 10:03am | There will be a gear collection for Trail Criú at the Djouce(Pier gates) Remembrance race on the 27th. All Running/ Outdoor/ Safety gear accepted. Hopefully Santa is good to you and brings you new trainers/ running gear. If Christmas does create surplus in your stash please consider passing on something that will help a fellow runner get out on the trails in the new year. It will be much appreciated. Many thanks. |
| Paul O'Grady | Dec 18 2024, 1:48pm | Good afternoon Everyone, We are just over a week from the last race of the year. As Liam says, we have to move the race to a new location due to the damage caused by the storms. The start will now be the Pier Gates. The page has been updated with the new start location. If there is anyone that you want included in our list of remembrance, can you please send me an email or a text. paulogrady@live.com or 0862900827 |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Dec 18 2024, 4:37pm | Hi Everyone, I hope you are all looking forward to this new route. You are in for a treat with a route that offers lovely views of Lough Tay, Lough Dan and Round wood Reservoir. Once you park and register at the the pier gates car park, you will proceed across the main road to the forest entrance. The start will be a few hundred metres up forest track. You will have the chance to enjoy a varied selection of paths with lovely views. I few nice little climbs and descents but overall good and runable. We will get he route map up as soon as possible. I will be recommending a good few marshal locations to Paul so more volunteers would be greatly appreciated so that we can get everything covered. See you up there. Niamh |
| Des Brennan | Dec 18 2024, 6:44pm | Thanks all for the updates. Would it be possible to share a location for the Pier Gate, or is it another entrance into Djouce Carpark? I’ll be travelling from Wicklow Town if anyone need a lift.. ;-) |
