John MurphyMar 18 2024, 12:25pmHi I'm hoping to run my first trail race on the May 1st in Rochestown. Just wondering what to do. I paid for membership. So do I just rock on up there ? Is there a contact email?
Stephen O KeeffeMar 18 2024, 1:18pmYou register for the race online through the link on the race page.

Registration usually opens a week before the race.

Then on the day of the race, you collect your number at registration by the van.

And then you have fun.

Rochestown Woods is a good course
John MurphyMar 18 2024, 1:28pmThanks Stephen. I'm looking forward to it now. God help me haha. Iust buy trail runners , I'm guessing normal runners won't do
Stephen O KeeffeMar 18 2024, 1:53pmAh yeah would definitely recommend trail runners for this course

It can be incredibly muddy in places, especially if it rains in the days leading up to the race.

And also you must carry a waterproof jacket with you.

You don't have to wear it, just have to carry it, it's a rule for all races no matter the weather
