Q: ARE IPODS/MP3’S ALLOWED ?
A: No
Q: WHAT IS THE LAYOUT OF THE COURSE:
A: The course is set on one of the country’s longest sandy beaches. The race does not move off the beach at any stage. The beach is 99% flat, solid sand but due to the nature of the sea there may be patches of softer sand. The route will be marked to correct lengths by easily identifiable flags, however, participants own discretion with regards to what area of the beach to use (i.e. avoiding stones / pools of water etc.) may result in slight variations in distances.
Q: HOW WILL I IDENTIFY THE COURSE?
A: The route will be clearly marked by easily identifiable flags. To keep distances accurate, please run on the sand dune side of the flags at all times (i.e. flags on your right going out, and flags on your left coming back). This will prevent any discrepancies in finishing times & distances that may occur by running a shorter route near the water.
Q: WHAT IS IT LIKE RUNNING ON A BEACH?
A: Firstly, the beach is so wide and flat when the tide goes out that it is solid enough to drive on, so this not a soft beach, and provides a great surface for running on as it is flat, wide and solid. However, please keep in mind when preparing that due to the changing nature of the sea and the beach, you may encounter small pools of water, areas that may be softer, seaweed. The beach is so wide however that participants can choose their own course around any obstacles that may appear.
Q: ARE THERE AGE LIMITS?
A: For the HM & 10k the lower age limit is 16 years old but under 16’s may take part in the 10k with parental consent, supervision & waiver signed by parents on entering child.
Q: CAN I DEFER MY ENTRY?
A: No. This is a non-refundable event.
Q: CAN I TRANSFER MY ENTRIES TO ANOTHER PERSON?
Yes.
Q: CAN I SWITCH RACES?
A: You can switch between races if you let us know before 25 September.

A: Please feel free to email any further queries to us on info@annascaul.ie. We are here to ensure this unique event is a super and enjoyable run for all so we will be delighted to deal with any questions you may have.
