This is a 9k run weaving through the trees in Cratloe Woods, about halfway between Limerick and Shannon and it’s an ideal introduction to trail running for newcomers.
From the MMRA....There's a 9k run for adults, a 3k run for Juniors (age 10 - 16), and an accompanied kiddies run for under 10s. If you’re bringing the whole family, there's a lovely little playground nestled in the trees at the forest entrance and there’ll be tea and sandwiches just down the road in the village afterwards.
Adults: Starts at 11:00 ENTRY €5
Juniors: Starts at 10:30 ENTRY €5
Kiddies: Starts at 10:30 ENTRY FREE
The route brings you around the forest on the network of criss-crossing tracks and trails.
In order to be eligible to run, please note that your ONE-OFF ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE (€10) MUST BE PAID ONLINE IN ADVANCE. This applies to adults and juniors. U10s do not need to be registered.
