Event date is 26th November 2016
13km and 26km options: the long option is 26km, over a mix of road and trail surfaces, and with an elevation gain over the course of over 1000m. The 13km option has most of the height already gained and is mostly on trail surface.
Barry and I have signed up to the 26km option.
It's 30 euro early bird entry until end of Aug (today).

That would be great...maybe we could fix a regular time - I'd be happy to at least get one long run per week on the mountain.

Hiya

Check out Coolmelagh in this doc - shows the walking/running routes around Gibbet Hill. They're signed from the main entrance also.

also the Coillte outdoor site has Coolmelagh (Gibbet): http://www.coillteoutdoors.ie/index.php ... c_site=150

Kilbrannish has good trail running options: http://www.coillteoutdoors.ie/sites_and ... no_cache=1

Here's how to get up to Kilbrannish from Kildavin/Ballypierce: http://www.irishtrails.ie/maps/SLW%20-% ... Stones.pdf

I'm unlikely going to be able to commit to regular trail running for now as I do most running at lunchtime, if and when it suits.
