Training Day Schedule
March 15th, 2010
Start time put back to 10:30am – more time in bed
We’re splitting the groups for this Saturday’s WAR training day in two. Those with a running background and those who would call themselves beginner mountain runners. Both groups will do the same canoe and cycle sections. Group 1 will do the full Djouce run, while Group 2 will have the option of a shorter Djouce run. Everything starts at 10am in Lough Dan (click for location map).

Entry for WAR is now closed
March 1st, 2010
We’ve reached 730 entries, so online entry is now closed. The entry list will be published here shortly.
We’ll look to add another 50 online entries later in the March, but this isn’t confirmed.
Note: There are still 15 spots left on the WAR training day in Lough Dan on the 20th of March.
OSi Maps now online
February 22nd, 2010
We’ve now have Ordinance Survey maps of both WAR and WAR-Sport online. A copy of these maps will be included in your starters pack for you to bring with you on the day, but it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the route in advance. Maybe even use these maps to do a course recon.
