This Sunday (April 20th) sees the return of Irish Mountain Running Association run up (and down) Clara.
The race begins at 7pm at the Presbytery on the Clara Rd. Meeting beforehand for entry and registration at 6:30 in the GAA Hall.
The race begins on Claragh Rd (just opposite the carpark) heading south. After about 800m, take a sharp left (around the grotto) onto a narrow road, and after another 600m, take a right turn onto a path going through the forest. This path zig-zags up through the forest, until you go over a stile on your left that exits the forest. You now follow the path keeping the forest to your right, until you go through a gate on to the open mountain. You are now on a narrow path that swings to the right and then takes you to the summit. Turn left at the summit, and head straight back down to intersect the uphill route and then follow your route back to the finish.
