Important Event Details!
If you’ve already entered this years event, you’ll have recently received emails with some important updates… But we know no-one reads those, so here’s the important bits!
Our event centre this year will be the wonderful new facility at Shimna College – we’re very excited and grateful to the school for having us back again!
We will be able to accommodate camping and caravans on the Friday night, but please get in touch before hand so we have an idea of numbers.
Camping gas is available to order from Lila’s Outdoors, who will be at the event centre on Saturday morning. Please get your order in before the end of August. The order process is outlined here –
Finally, and most importantly, that this year we will be allocating SI Cards (dibbers) to all competitors – not just one per team as previously. Both team members will have to punch each control within 5 minutes of each other, and the finish time will be the later of the two punches. This will bring us in line with other Mountain Marathons, improving safety and eliminating any sneaky (and rule breaking) tactics. Basically, safer and fairer for everyone.
Hopefully you’re all getting some good training in, Terry has been plotting his usual tricky courses, and please keep an eye out for more info to come (by email).
