Car parking – Please follow the car park marshals instructions when you arrive. Please do not arrive before 8am as we need time to set up etc..

Car parking fees can only be paid for by card/tap via the Sum-up machine. No cash accepted on the day.

Registration- There will be three tables which you need to follow in order. Registration will be busy so be patient with us.

Table 1 - Please tell the volunteer your name and race number so that they can highlight your name so we know that you are here

Table 2 - Collect your race number if you have not collected it already at a previous race this year. Please know your 2025 Race number before you come to the race. You can find this on your myIMRA (take a screen shot of it).

Table 3 – Laptop registration. You must have your race number with new tag system checked in on the laptop. It is really important to have checked in with Table 1 and Table 3 at registration so we can account for everyone accurately on the day.

During the race – The Wicklow Way Half follows the way marked trail over to the barrier at Crone Woods and then back again. It is away marked trail so keep your eyes on the yellow man arrows.

**Crone Woods half way point**

** There will be a cut off time of 2 hours to reach Crone woods (11.30am)** (this is very close to hiking all the way pace)

When you arrive at Crone, you must tap the barrier, there will be water to refill your water bottle. (IMRA have a no cup policy so you will need to provide your own bottle/cup). Please shout out your race number here for the volunteers so we have all runners accounted for on the turn-around.

IMRA emergency number is on the back of your race number if required, phone calls only, no texts (it will be me who answers) if you decide to abandon the race at any point you must ring me and let me know so we have you accounted for

Please be mind-full of other trail users, strictly no littering, no earphones, you must follow the way marked trail (Yellow walking man), no short cuts allowed, you must cross the stile coming off Djouce and follow the rocky path to the next stile and no whizzing down the faster grassy patch on the near side of the wall, no cutting the zig zags down through Crone Wood, any of the above will result in a DNF.

Look out for each other and enjoy the morning out on the trails.

Finish line- Please have your race number visible when crossing the finish line, we will be manually recording numbers and times as well as the new timing system, get your finishers prize and enjoy the post-race chats.

There are prizes for 1st,2nd and 3rd males and females

There are no age category prizes for this race.** Race prize vouchers for the Wicklow Way Half have been readjusted to tie in with the Leinster Half Marathon league**
