John O ConnorJan 20 2024, 10:06pmIs it possible to do the race for a charity?
Robbie WilliamsJan 20 2024, 11:13pmIn terms of each person they can do for whatever they wish.

That is each persons own business if they wish

We’re just organizing the event
John O ConnorJan 20 2024, 11:26pmOk. Thanks Robbie
Irene FinneganJan 21 2024, 12:22pmIs there a GPX for this race or a map .... And do you know how much of road/trail/no paths/ etc is ......thanks ...and how many checkpoints....
Dara O'BrienJan 21 2024, 12:50pmHi Irene, the best GPX I’ve found is on the HiiKER app - E8 Coast to Coast. It starts at marlay park whereas this event start at Bray so that needs to be factored in.

The HiiKER route turns south just outside Killarney and heads for Dursey island whereas the event needs is to go northwest at that point and follow the Kerry way on to Valentia via the bridge.

So start and end need to be changed but the rest which is the vast majority is fairly accurate.
Dara O'BrienJan 21 2024, 12:51pmAlso, I think there is a book with maps - called the Ireland Coast to Coast walk
Eoin HamiltonJan 21 2024, 5:46pmIf there is any requirement for volunteers, I'd love to help out where possible.
Rex BrillantesJan 21 2024, 5:59pmSo there's a tracker. What if a runner go off course then join to the track in a short distance. It's like cutting it short. Is it allowed.?

Eric Llaurado OrtizJan 22 2024, 11:16amHi
Good to see the route, it looks like a long journey... I wonder if there will be any checkpoints / aid stations and places where to stop and rest or sleep or eat or have a shower etc?
Eoin HamiltonJan 22 2024, 11:24amStrava - Yack ;)

Use HiiKER :)
Robbie WilliamsJan 22 2024, 12:32pmEric and others

Please reread race description

Self sufficient

That means it is up to you and your crew to sort all this out.. failing that we can increase entry to €10,000 and make it all inclusive :)

Please do remember we are volunteering to make this happen
Eric Llaurado OrtizJan 22 2024, 12:52pmOk.
Fabio BaltieriJan 26 2024, 10:42amAny restrictions for crewing? Is pacing or muling allowed?
Robbie WilliamsJan 26 2024, 1:03pmNo restrictions on crewing as such

Just competitors need to carry their own mandatory kit.

kit will be announced in due course
