Preliminary Details - Course Lengths
Due to low entry numbers on the short courses and in order to stimulate some additional competition, a decision has been taken to amalgamate all of the short and B courses. This is similar to the course offerings at the recent Leinster Championships.
It should be noted that anyone can enter the M/W21s course as appropriate, irrespective of their actual age.
It should also be noted that there will be 3 starts in opperation at the event:
- the 'high start' will be a 60 min walk for courses 1-3 with significant climb
- the 'low start' will be a 45 min walk for courses 4-7 with moderate climb
- the 'near start' will will be adjacent to the assembly field for courses 8-13
The route to the 'high start' will be via the 'low start'.
Provisional course lengths are shown below and are subject to final controlling.
