Take the N11 towards Wicklow & Wexford and then take the Kilmacanogue exit. The registration point is at the Glencormac Inn just off the exit in Kilmacanogue. Additional parking is in the church carpark. The start is at the GAA pitch up a very narrow road. You must walk/run the 600 metres up to it. There is no parking up at the pitch as is is required for ambulances, Civil Defence, etc
Starts at Glencormac Inn, Kilmacanogue, on N11 Co. Wicklow This is an annual race held on the Sugarloaf to commemorate Charles Barrington, a Wicklow man, who was the first person to summit the Eiger. Charles also organized the first mountain race in Ireland with a race up and down the Sugarloaf in the 1870s and we continue this tradition in this race.

| Douglas Barry | Dec 9, 7:00PM | Just a note to ask any runners who finished in the top three men or top three women in any IMRA race in the last two years who intend doing the above race up and down the Sugarloaf on Sun 27/12/09 to contact me directly at imra at iol.ie I have to send a press release to the local media sharpish and I'd of course like to mention those who are likely to be battling it out over the jagged, ragged rocks, rather than pitching out a few names in hope. For those of you who don't know what it is all about, it's the annual Sugarloaf race to commemorate Charles Barrington the first man to climb the Eiger and a man who organised the first ever recorded mountain race in Ireland up the self same Sugarloaf. Here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Barrington_(mountaineer) And don't be shy, tell me you're going to be there, and we'll try to keep truth in the news. Douglas Barry |
| Peter O'Farrell | Dec 9, 9:46PM | i can mark it too if you want :) |
| Justin Rea | Dec 11, 4:46PM | Can you knock back the gorse a bit too? Where's Brendan D when you need him ;-) |
| Rob Costello | Dec 26, 1:35AM | Hi all, Would anybody be driving to this from Dublin city centre or nearby? I'm back from Australia for Christmas and would love to give this one a go but don't have a car to drive to it. Cheers, Rob |
| Mary Healy | Dec 26, 11:01PM | Rob, unless you get a better offer, grab a 46A from city centre to Galloping Green busstop (25mins approx) and I can give you a lift from there. Im leaving 10.30 - 10.45am. Give your contact phone no/email with your reply and I will contact you. No problem if you decide to go with someone else. |
| Paul Morrissey | Dec 27, 5:26PM | Thanks Douglas et al for the race today, ice made for an intersting albeit slower race... special thanks to the 2 brave souls anchored at the top of the Sugarloaf for a good 40 minutes!! |
| Douglas Barry | Dec 28, 11:44AM | FOUND: in the GAA clubhouse afterwards. A lightweight running top and a pair of running shoes. If you think they're yours email me imra at iol.ie or text me on 086 6069316 |
