  • All Boys/Girls born 2004 and 2005 can enter the U17 race
  • All Boy/sGirls born 2001, 2002 and 2003 can enter the U20 race

We will be welcoming athletes from all parts of the Island of Ireland and look forward to a great morning of racing.

Regretfully if you reside in a county under Level 3 Covid 19 restrictions at the time of the event we can not allow you to take part.

These races are an opportunity for all junior athletes interested in hill running, or thinking of trying out this form of running, to race against their peers in a fantastic setting in a year that has unavoidably had so many race events cancelled.

All race updates will be posted to the forum for this event. Please watch out for updates.
