Race requirements, entries and logistics
The event uses Level B mandatory kit. Runners must carry: a waterproof jacket, hat or buff, gloves, a whistle, a charged mobile phone with the emergency number stored, and a foil blanket, bivvy bag or equivalent. The final kit to be carried may be confirmed on the day depending on conditions. Failure to have required items may lead to denial of entry or disqualification; random kit checks may be carried out. No entry details have been added for this event; entries for league events are usually made available a couple of weeks before the event. Prizegiving location is Ballygalley, Antrim. Volunteering and carpool arrangements are managed through the association’s membership system. Runners must complete two non-running volunteer roles in a calendar year to qualify for end-of-year prizes; volunteering while also running typically does not count toward that requirement.
