Come to beautiful Skerries winner of the Tidy Towns in 2016 and try our Urban event.

Registration is in the carpark of Skerries Mills. Skerries mills is signposted from the Dublin road and we will put sign posts from the roundabout. The start and finish are adjacent to the carpark.

Starts are from 18:00 to 19:30 and courses close at 21:00. The carpark will also be locked from 21:00.

Three courses are on offer

Short 1.99k, 15 Controls

Medium 4.08k, 17 Controls

Long 6.18k, 21 Controls  (actual estimated distance via optimum route 8.5k)

The long and medium courses necessitates crossing some busy roads. It is suggested that under 14’s on long or medium are accompanied or go in pairs. The long course in particular has been planned to take in some of the best views of Skerries. The short does not cross any busy roads and is doable by those with a buggy.

The maps are printed on waterproof paper. The map scale is 1:5000 and the map is aligned to magnetic north. Control descriptions will be available separately at registration. They will also be on the map. The short course will have English descriptions on the map. Otherwise descriptions will be in IOF symbolic format.

SportIdent timing will be used. SI cards will be available to rent at registration.
