A few notes below to be aware of ahead of Saturday mornings road race.
1 - Race starts at 10am sharp on Saturday morning. Race HQ is the Holy Family Secondary
School (W12 YD71) and the start line is approximately 200m from Race HQ. The u-9-u12
1K dash will start at 9:55 am from the same start line. The finish gantry is at the Holy Family

2-Online Registration will remain open until 60 mins before race start time, you can register
on the morning up to 9:15 am for €20, CASH ONLY.
3-The start line at Connel Drive is in a residential area, so please respect the residents and
avoid parking in this area.
4 - Parking is available at both the Holy Family and St. Conleths and Marys schools beside
the finish area. We will have marshals on hand to direct you. We would ask local runners not
to drive where possible and where possible runners would also consider car-pooling. If the
car parks fill up there will be paid parking available closer to Newbridge town centre.
5 - You can collect your number on Friday evening from 7-8pm at Newbridge Athletic Club
on Station Road (W12 Y568). On race day numbers can be collected from 8am to 9:15 am at
the Holy Family School.
6 - The winning team will be the first club team home of 2 men and 2 women. If any of the
first 4 home for a club are running under someone else's bib/name, that club will be
eliminated from the club team competition. Responsibility to ensure you are correctly
registered rests with you.
7 – Please allow time to get to the race start (Approx. 200m from the Holy Family School).
8 - The first 200 registered are eligible for t-shirts, and the size will be as per your selection at
purchase. Please don't ask for a t-shirt if you didn't get in the first 200, we don't have spares
and we have none for sale.
9 - Please attend the pre-race briefing and obey the marshals to ensure a safe fun event for all.
10 –Refreshments and Presentation will take place after the race at the Holy Family school.
