Glenealy GAA have kindly offered us use of their facilities for registration. Registration will open at 6:10 and close at 7:10 sharp to allow for people to get to the start - which is 1km up from GAA on a cul de sac (follow sign to Christmas tree farm).

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
