Slightly different route to 2009 and 2010. On the run for home from Ride rock (Waterfall) the new route goes left up the lower section of the Powerscourt ride and then turns right at the first forest path and then turns right down a grass path on the right of a dry gully to come out on the WW around 500m from the finish. See forum messages for detailed course description. Watch out for reentry point to forest after Maulin, for shortcut on Wicklow Way after Ride rock, and for new loop up the lower part of the Powerscourt ride.
Prizegiving afterwards in the bar area of the Powerscourt Arms Hotel in Enniskerry. Please car pool, if possible, from Enniskerry. Registration queue will close before 10.40 to facilitate a punctual start. Juniors: Juniors born in 1992-1995 can run the full course. Please note the full course is tough and you can consider taking the short course if you wish. Younger runners can turn back at the foot of the steep grass ascent and run back the same way The wearing of grippy trail shoes is advised. Any use of MP3 / headphone devices is not allowed in IMRA races.
Getting There:
Take turn off N11 motorway at Kilmacanogue (towards Roundwood). Take right turn after 800m for Powerscourt Waterfall. The car park is on your left, around 800m beyond the waterfall entrance.
