Slieau Ruy 2020
/
The Callin Wild Manx Fell League continues on Friday 21st August when the Slieau Ruy Fell Race will take place. The 9.5km course starts and finishes at Glen Helen and includes ascents of Beary Mountain and Slieau Ruy.
Please note that the start time has been changed to 18.30 rather than the scheduled 19.00.
Registration will be at the Glen Helen Glamping reception from 17.30 until 18.15.
Minimum age for the full course is 16 years on race day. The race is categorised as ‘A short’ and therefore allows the organisers to decide on what, if any, safety gear must be carried by all runners. This will be decided at registration when the latest weather forecast is available. Everyone is advised to turn up with full safety gear just in case.
There will be a shorter course for juniors and novices of around 4.0km. Minimum age is 12 years on race day. Start time 18.30. Runners in this race will be required to carry a water proof jacket and whistle if the weather is poor. Juniors aged between 16 and 18 can choose between competing in either the short or full course. There will be a flagged route marked to guide the novice and junior runners but these flags will be removed before runners in the full course race return to the plantation. Route choice is open other than the track to Eairy Moar Farm which is out of bounds.
Car parking will be very much restricted at Glen Helen so it is important that as many as possible can car share. Overflow parking will also be available at Black Dub, approx 800m walk from Glen Helen.
