EVENT STARTS
We partner with Cancer Focus NI, supporting cancer care and research. Visit their site to get involved.
All participants are expected to study the course prior to taking part and also are encouraged to download the GPX file for reference on the day should you become lost or disorientated. The route will also be waymarked on both the mountain and road stages.
Race management reserve the right to alter the course at any time in the interests of competitor, crew or public safety. Should the weather or mountain stage become dangerous an alternative plan B will be put into operation as an example. PSNI and Road Service will also have authority to change the course at any time in the event of roadworks or a traffic incident. It’s important that everyone in the event abides by the rules of the road at all times.
