Long Distance Championship
Ticknock car park. Gr. O 168242
Race three of the long distance championship. Race starts at entrance to Ticknock Wood. Runners must visit each of the following summits, out and back. These points will be manned check points. The route between these points is of the runners choosing.
Start 168242
Fairy Castle 172224
Tibradden 149222
Cruagh 137217
Kippure 116154
This race can be completed entirely on tracks of some sort however the distance at 36km is considerable and route finding could be tricky. The recommended map is the new Dublin & North Wicklow Mountains by East West mapping. Note the map (on link above) shows only a suggested route between manned check points.
This race will have two cut-off times. 2.30 at check point 3 (start of bog road up to Kippure) and 4.00 at check point 5 (same spot on the way back). This is standard practice in long distance races. These times are generously set at 200% of the winning time. Runners failing to meet first cut-off must turn back and those missing the second must take the broom wagon (lift to start / finish)
Accepting these cut-off times for the Dublin Peaks is a condition of entry. Cut-off times are necessary to.
Protect the safety of runners
To make the decision to call out a search for injured or lost runner more promptly
To reduce the time race officials spend in exposed and remote location
A basic kit will be required to be carried, irrespective of weather, and will be checked at start and check point three. The kit will comprise of water/wind proof jacket (double top will not suffice), emergency food (gels, sweets etc) map or copy of route. There will be a water and feeding station at check point 3 and the facility to retire and get lift back.
