This event is run by local athletics club Corrib AC and is AAI permitted.\nAdvantages of this event:\n• No cars\n• Opportunity to try elevations\n• Beautiful location\n• Finish on a 900m down-hill\n• Options of 8k & 4k routes\n• 8k perfect for those who have completed the Streets of Galway 8k training or are planning to run the Carna 10k.\n• 4k ideal for those starting their XC training\n• Friendly atmosphere & lovely goodies afterwards.\nThere are striking technical t-shirts for entrants.\nPrizes:\nPrizes for:\n• The first three male and female athletes in both races.\n• The fastest male and female juvenile runner in the 4k- aged 14-17 years.\n• Corrib AC members will be competing to be the fastest club member in the 4k and 8k.\nThe Galway Wind Park\, (Seecon East) is located in the Cloosh Valley on the R372\, approximately 7km south west of Oughterard\, Co Galway/ Uachtar Ard\, Co. Na Gaillimhe. This is approximately 33kms from Galway City and takes on average 45-50 minutes to travel.\nIf coming from Galway city\, travel on the Clifden road N59 to Oughterard (30 minutes). In Oughterard\, turn left onto Station road\, Oughterard (this is the left hand turn just before the bridge and the RC church\, continuing on the R372 for approximately 7km ( Bóthar Sheanadh Phéistín/ “Shannapheasteen” road).\nPlease note that sections of the Shannapheasteen road from Oughterard are narrow. The race start point is on the left-hand side at car park 2\, Seecon East. Please continue past this to park.\nWe highly recommend car pooling.\nParking: The carpark for race athletes; registration and toilets are based at the operations centre of the Wind Park-on the right-hand side about 1km away from the start point.\nhttps://goo.gl/maps/pgE6e2gT52B2\nRegistration: Registration will take place from 09:30-10:40am.\nNB strict age restrictions: Please don’t bring younger children to the race location unless there is a non-running adult with the child.

In summary the first 4k of the route is the hardest section so pace yourself and aim for a negative split on the way back.\n4k route:\nAn out & back route.The first 900m will have gradual ascents\, taking a left hand turn downhill\, turn at turbine 15\, running uphill turn into and out of a short side route toward turbine 14\, continue uphill\, ascend and finish on a nice downhill piece. Again pacing is important.\nOther Info:\nBoth 4k and the 8k participants will start from and finish at the same point and at the same time.\nAfter the first 900m the 4k participants will turn left for their first downhill section while the 8k participants will continue straight.\nWater available at start\, 4k (midpoint of 8k race) and finish line. \nThe surface is compacted sand-gravel with some loose gravel/small stones in spots and occasional shallow potholes.\nTo get updates\, checkout facebook (www.facebook.com/corribathleticclub)
