Re: Wicklow Way Relay 2013
Hi guys, just 4 weekends including this weekend until the race,
Hopefully everyone has started to think about reeces of their leg
A list of the different legs can be found at http://www.imra.ie/ad-hoc/WWR%20leg20description.doc
Maybe we could also discuss carpooling, as people will need to be dropped off and collected at the different legs.
I have also added maps of the different stages( compliments of Frank).

I can't stress how important a recce is. So get out there and get familar with your run legs.

Re: Wicklow Way Relay 2013
Guy's not long left now, cannot stress the importance of a reccee of this course.
Some of the legs have little re routes due to forest work been carried out, so a reccee is vital (don't want to loose anyone on race day
).
You can go on to the IMRA website and click on events and see details for the Wicklow Way Relay, the forum for the relay keeps people updated.
A number of maps and leg details have been put up on previous pages on this forum.

Re: Wicklow Way Relay 2013
Hi Guys, can you please email me your email address as I need you to fill out registration forms for insurance proposes with IMRA.
My email is missdaisyt@gmail.com
We need to send these back ASAP.
Or else I will be in the Bunclody area tomorrow afternoon and I can print off the forms and meet anyone who wants to fill them in.

Re: Wicklow Way Relay 2013
Hi Guys, just to let you know that the An Post Ras is travelling from Carlow to Nass the day of the Relay and it has some of the same routes as the relay.
Roads are not closed for the Ras but traffic delays can be expected so please leave plenty of time to get to your starting point.
I also received an email from the race director regarding parking, please see below.
I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you of the parking
restrictions too. The future viability of the race is hugely dependant
on the goodwill of locals, especially in the chokepoints of
Curtlestown, Lough Tay, Oldbridge and Ironbridge. As a general rule,
please ensure your team carpools as much as possible and do not leave
cars unattended for a long period of time, except in the villages.
Perhaps you could consider parking a few kilometres away from the
changeovers and operating shuttle runs, or co-ordinating lifts with
other teams? Specific leg info is as follows:
a) Kilmashogue: No problem, but best not to leave a car overnight.
b) Curtlestown: Single-occupancy cars not allowed. There is very
limited parking and blind bends so find a nice straight bit of road
and walk back. Move the car on as soon as possible. Please do not
block other cars in as the area is popular with walkers.
c) Lough Tay: Single-occupancy cars not allowed. Again, there is
limited parking and blind bends so find a nice straight bit of road
and walk back. Move the car on as soon as possible. Please do not
block other cars in as the area is also extremely popular with
walkers.
d) Oldbridge: Single-occupancy cars not allowed. Do not park at the
crossroads under any circumstances. Turn right and there are a couple
of parking areas up the road (about a 5min walk). Again, move the car
on as soon as possible.
e) Glendo: No problem. The changeover is on the Green Road (a few
minutes walk away from the interpretative centre).
f) Drumgoff: TBC. Obey the instructions of the marshals. The
changeover will be just after the crossroads.
g) Ironbridge: Single-occupancy cars and large vehicles/vans are not
allowed under any circumstances - the road is very narrow. Please
leave a gap every 5 car lengths. A few years ago a timber truck and
trailer needed to get through and could not - keep this in mind!
h) Crossbridge: Parking in Crossbridge only. Absolutely no parking at
Derry River bridge (even for spectating) and no cars up the narrow
laneway that runners take to handover. Leg 7 is across private land
and permission to use this can be withdrawn at any time and is
dependent on these agreed parking arrangements being followed. This
was why Leg 7 had to be extended a number of years ago.
i) Shillelagh: Finish in Kenny's pub.
