Race Pack Collection

Race packs can be collected in The Warriors Festival Marquee on FRIDAY 26TH AUGUST 2011 between 6PM and 8PM.  This will INCLUDE Timing Chip so a return top the Marquee on Saturday IS NOT NECESSARY.

Collection also on SATURDAY 27TH AUGUST 2011 between 12PM and 2PM.

PLEASE ENSURE TO BRING YOUR REGISTRATION EMAIL WITH YOU. (ID MAY BE REQUIRED)

Parking

You should try to get to Strandhill Village as early as possible on the day of the Warriors Run as parking and traffic restrictions will be put in place early in the day.  The main Car Park usually fills early and it is important to note that this will be CLOSED between 2.30PM and 5.30PM.  NO CARS WILL BE ALLOWED IN OR OUT so be aware if you have to make an early exit from the village.

Ample parking available all along the Airport Road.  Please be patient as Marshalls will ask you to reverse into place in some sections allowing you speedier and safer departure.  Parking also available at St Patricks Church, Strandhill National School and up along the Burma Road.
 

Shuttle Buses

If your looking for a stress free day, why not take one of the many Shuttle Buses to Strandhill on Saturday 27th.  Avoid the traffic and parking restrictions with buses from 10.20am and going back into Sligo up to 11.50pm.  Timetable below.

Timing Chips
 

If you collect your Race Pack on Friday, remember to bring your chip for Saturday as we cannot reissue chip and may have to charge for lost ones.  Please ensure to return your chip at the end of the Race after you regain your breath and sea level legs. 
 

Water Stations
 

There are 5 Water Stations along the route : (1) Mayes (aka Culleenamore Stables), Culleenamore (2) Glen Road prior to off roading it up the mountain (3) Mountain Car Park on the way down (4) Rathcarrick Forest Car Park (5) St Annes Church.  There also will be ample water at the finish line.  Please keep hydrated on route especially if it is a hot day (stop sniggering, we sometimes get sunshine this side)
