What must I do with the chip?

Your chip which is assigned to you and has all your details will be attached to your race number and please note, do not bend or try to fold your number as this could damage your chip and you will not receive a time for your race. Do not carry multiple chips during any part of the race. 

Should I wear my number on the front or the back?

Your race number should always be worn on the front, on your singlet/t-shirt, not on your shorts.
This will facilitate the reading of the chip at the finish line thus giving you an accurate time.

 

What happens when I cross the finish line?
Please proceed immediately through the finish tunnel where you will receive your ‘finishers medal’ Do not hang around this area and please use bins to dispose of waste at all times.   LEAVE NO TRACE.

Can I wear an IPod/Mp3 player?

We discourage the use of I-pods or Mp3 players.
We have found out over the years that headphone wearers do not hear instructions from our stewards/Gardai and so are safety hazards.
With the numbers we have in this race we must look after everyone’s safety
