- Getting There:
- Put "King's Yard" into your Google Maps and you'll get there. Obviously you need to choose "King's Yard, Kilbehenny" and not "King's Yard, London" or you will probably not make the race start time.
If you don't have Google Maps then head towards Mitchelstown, head along the R369 towards Kilbehenny, you will see brown signs for King's Yard on the R369. Keep following these signs until you reach King's Yard. - Organisers Instructions:

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
