Thanks to Athletics Wicklow, the venue for the Leinster Senior & Juvenile Uneven Ages XC on Sunday 7th November is Avondale Forest Park, Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow. This is a well known venue to many in Leinster, though the course this year is a little different to previous.
 
PLEASE NOTE:
  • The car parks in Avondale are closed during construction works, so we'll be using alternative car parks, which are located a 15 to 20 minute walk from the course, so factor that into your time to arrive at the venue;
  • To avoid congestion please try to arrive no sooner than 1 hour before your event, which will be plenty of time to collect your number and warm up;
  • There will be races for boys and girls under 9 years of age - no fee, simply go to the start line when called (11.10am for girls, 11.20am for boys), and there will be medals for the top 12 finishers in each race;
