We will have limited car parking at the Djouce Remembrance Race so now might be the time to have a think about how you might improve your carpooling if you are a regular single occupant car runner. Here are a few ideas - form a Whats App group with two or three of your regular running buddies and try to coordinate for race lifts - put your car up in the IMRA car pool section -plan to go to the designated carpooling locations before the race and see if you can either give a lift or get a lift For Djouce Remembrance Run the recommended carpooling locations will be -Kilmac public car park -Roundwood main street parking -Enniskerry main street parking -Car Parks further along the Long Hill road Other ideas and options are - cycle to the race -bring a bike in your car and cycle the last section having parked your car away from the main parking location -park nearby and jog to the registration area Other members may have some other suggestions and ideas so please post them here. Reducing the number of cars at IMRA races will improve our carbon footprint, reduce the headache parking marshals experience in trying to cram cars into parking locations and avoid problems with other car park users / locals. |
