North Barrule 2019 - Wednesday 3rd July 2019

/

The forecast is looking good, so hopefully we will have relaxed safety requirements. However, please always arrive ready to carry everything. Please be careful driving up to the farm, it is a narrow, single track road. Be especially careful after the race, when you have to turn left/right back onto the coast road at the Hibernia junction.

Sign on from 6:00pm, closes at 6:50pm to enable time keepers and runners to get to the start area. No late comers!

This is the penultimate counter in the Junior League, so it would be great to see the juniors competing. Open to all runners aged 12 or above.
