Yes. There is a cut-off time of 3 hours. This is for health and safety reasons and to be fair to the marshals who have given up their time to support the athletes. The race begins at 10 am and the course will close at 1pm. This means that the roads will re-open, and there will be no marshals or water stations on the course after this time.

There will be ample free parking available on the grounds of the Tullamore Harriers Stadium.

There will be road closures along the greater part of the route from 09.30am to 1pm, which provides huge safety and comfort for our athletes. There will, however, be some short sections of the route that must remain accessible to moving traffic.
Please follow the instructions of the Gardai and race marshals and be mindful that safety is paramount for all involved.

The race route will be clearly marked and marshalled along the way, and there will be markers at each mile.

There will be 5 water stations along the race route at approximately 3 miles, 6 miles, 8 miles, 10 miles, and 12 miles plus a refreshment stand at the finish with water and a goodie bag. There will also be several people patrolling the route on bikes with additional water and words of encouragement! In the event of it being a particularly warm day, runners may wish to consider carrying water with them from the start. The first water station is at the 3-mile mark, and Tullamore Harriers will not be able to provide water to runners before the race begins. We will have a water bottle bin located after each water station, and we ask all competitors to use the bins provided when at all possible. Please help us to keep the route litter-free by dropping your empty bottles in the bins provided.
