Outline Plan

Saturday morning
Meet at Phoenix Park Knockmaroon Gate at 11:00 Knockmaron Gate on Google Maps
Please be on time. It is very important to make sure you know the Trial route beforehand (people have got lost), and it’s vital to warm up well before running, so you need plenty of time to prepare.
M18-20 run 4 laps. M16 & W18-20 run 3 laps, W16 run 2 laps, M14 run 0, 1 or 2 laps, W14 run 0 or 1 lap.
Each lap is 1.2km with about 60m climb.
Wear shoes with metal studs if you have them, the course is reported to be in reasonable condition but you still need good grip!
