- Organisers Instructions:
- This race is open to experienced mountain runners with the ability to navigate the route safely with map and compass. There are multiple steep cliffs which pose a danger of life or limb threatening injury. Visibility is frequently poor, so please be aware of these hazards before entering All runners should have run an Irish Championship race such as Galtymore or The Old Carrauntohill route from Glencar or similar. This is a completely different race from the Classic that ran from 2015-2023. This route will not be marked and will bring in much more technical terrain compared to the Classic. There is also a extra 2.5km and 600m more climbing than previously. Basically this is a full on Mountain Championship race, cut offs will be enforced along the route. CUT OFF AT TOP OF MAOLAN BUI (top of Bone) at 90mins after race start.

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
