- Organisers Instructions:
- Trial for Europeans will start at fork around 80 metres above car park and finish at the foot of the Maulin ride (see Map link above and photos for provisional course and profiles). Turn left at a path junction around 460m after the start and continue along the WW for another 850m until you reach the bottom of the Maulin ride which is both the start of a hard climb and the finish. The steep climb is 420 metres with an average gradient of 26%.
Youths trial will start at same location as the European trial and follow Wicklow Way until it reaches the open mountain. The girls race will finish there while the boys race will turn right and finish at the top of Maulin.
Volunteers (Non-Running)
You need to have done 2 non-running volunteer roles in a calendar year to qualify for end of year prize
Volunteers (Running)
Check with race director if they have a need for people volunteering and running. Race directors need a minimum number of people available throughout the race to make the race work so non-running volunteers are preferable. While it can be helpful, volunteering in a volunteer and race capacity does not count towards qualifying for end of year prize
