MonsterMAC 2012
You may already be aware Fifty Three Degrees North are on board as 2012 race sponsor.
RACE SIGN-IN
This will make it easier for those living in the Cork region to sign-in at their 53 Deg North Cork store between 12 noon and 9pm on Friday 27th April.
As an added bonus they will be giving away free Wigwam socks (RRP €15) to the first 150 to register in store. Their Cork Store is located at Unit 7, The Cornmarket Centre, Paul Street, Co. Cork - 021 494 9804
If you cannot make that then you can sign-in on race day at the Millstreet Country Park from 8.30am until 9.30am for Expert and 10am only for Sport and Baby MAC so the Cork city sign in will allow you to arrive a bit later especially if you are doing the Sport or Baby MAC events!
At race sign-in you will collect your race tee-shirt, race number and timing chip.
