    A number transfer window will be opened on the Eventmaster website two weeks before the race. Personal details will have to be changed on our data base before the transfer can be made. Please do not run on someone elses number without changing personal details. This is to ensure we have the correct contact details in the event of a medical emergency.

  • Can I drop off my bag?

    Bags can be stored in the Terenure College Gym but it is not supervised. Store your bag in your car if possible.

  • Road closures and traffic management during the 5k

    Dodder View Road will be closed from 8.30 to 10.30 on race day or until the last runner has finished the 5k. The cycle lane from Fairways Junction will remain closed during the 5k. Runners should not race in the cycle lane as the race has been measured using the Jones Counter on the left lane of the road. From Rathfarnham Road Bridge to Terenure Cross the left lane will be closed until the last runner has passed. The same left lane will remain closed for runners on Templeogue Road up to the Templeville Road trafic lights. The race will then take the left turn onto Springfield Road, its left lane will be closed. From Fairways Junction to the race finish both lanes will be closed. Please obey the Gardai and race stewards to ensure the race is accident free.


    As Dodder View Road is now very narrow due to the cycle lane and is to be used for the start and finish, be careful running down from the start. Bicycles, electronic scooters and buggys ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE COURSE DURING THE RACE. Those breaking this rule will be removed by the Stewards.
