Colaiste Cheitinn, the Mall is the race headquarters for each race and numbers can be collected there from 5.45pm on all nights with a 7pm start.
Now is the time to be organising your team of five athletes with the best three performances (athletes who are closest to their Predictions) to count each night.
The three races on March 28th and April 4th and 11th will see athletes predict their time each night when they enter and collect their number. They must then run the course without a watch or IPods.
If an athlete is caught wearing a watch or IPod, their team will be penalised.
This sort of competition allows every athlete to set their own pace and regardless of where they finish in the race they can all help their team to win the competition.
This is an event where you the athlete set the target, you decide every night what your finishing time is and then you have to run as close to that time to help your team. For instance you could predict 30 mins for the 6k and then run the race in 30 mins 1 second and you score one point for your team. Then you have another athlete on your team who predicts his finishing time as 21 mins and runs the race in 21 mins 31 secs, he score 31 points for the team. The three athletes that score the lowest points will count on your team, it is not based on your finishing position it is based on your time and what you predicted.
