Plenty of time to prepare and get your recce in.
Ensure you practice with the mandatory kit. You should have the correct map e.g. EastWest Mapping paper map. Digital maps are not a substitute.
Sean ForsythMay 8 2024, 11:25amHi all,

LC round 2 coming up again soon and this is a super race. Given the right conditions, this race will really test your mountain skills.

Speed, endurance, hill climbing, heather hopping, running away from wild goats, nav skills, route finding and having the craic

But to allow you to prove you have what it takes to beat hell out of your fellow runners, I need some volunteers...so pretty please come along and help out.

I would appreciate some experienced marshals as some ot the marshal points are well out and conditions can be challenging, even on the clearest of days.
Declan McInerneyMay 11 2024, 11:24amHi Sean, I have done this route before and would be happy to do marsahal. I'm going up there tomorrow for a look around.
Mick HanneyMay 11 2024, 2:57pmHi Sean, I added myself as First Aid but could, if required, marshal towards the start phase of the route if you wanted.
