Nagles Half Marathon Recce and course marking

The official Nagles Half Marathon is on Sat 29th Sep, so I propose leading a group that want to recce the route the Saturday before. We will ALSO be marking the course in anticipation of the race the next weekend, so progress will NOT be fast. However, if I can get someone that knows the course to run ahead with faster runners, then they are welcome to fire off ahead.

Terrain is a mixture of fire road and technical trail, and trail shoes are advised only if the rains have been strong the days before. This is a full 13miles with 650m of elevation and a perfect opportunity for 3-4hours out on the hills at relaxed pace and having a laugh.

We will travel together to Killavullen to drop off a car or two and then car pool to the start in Ballyhooly. Anyone wishing to meet at the start in Ballyhooly is weclome to do so too, but ensure you can get back to your car afterwards. The Haven bar in Killavullen is a great place to have a pint and a bite to eat afterwards. Expect to be finished anytime around 1pm (at a slow-moderate pace).
