SUMMARY:Irish Individual Championship 2025
DESCRIPTION:Classic Race\n\n\n\nMagilligan dunes are bounded to the north by the Atlantic ocean fringed by a six mile long beach. To the south lies Lough Foyle\, a tidal sea lough\, and the two converging shores join at Magilligan Point. \n\n\n\nThe classic race will take place in the central section of these dunes. The beach will not feature on the courses\, but can be visited afterwards accessed from Benone or Downhill. There is also the option of visiting Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne – a singular cliff top fantasy built by the eccentric “Mitred Earl” of Bristol. \n\n\n\nSouth East end of the 6 mile long Magilligan beach is overlooked by the Mussenden Temple (NT)\n\n\n\nThe area is a mix of intricate dunes\, interspersed with more level areas\, which afford some very fast running. The map was fully updated in September 2024. \n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMagilligan East \n\n\n\nTravel Directions\n\n\n\nFrom Limavady take the A2 to Bellarena and Benone. The event is about ten miles north of the town and should take about twenty minutes by car. The competition area will be clearly sign-posted to the left off this main road. \n\n\n\nFrom Coleraine take the A2 to Castlerock\, Downhill and past Benone. The competition area will be clearly sign-posted to the right off this main road. \n\n\n\nCar Parking\n\n\n\nThe parking area will be available from 9.30am and will be signposted to the right on the approach to the competition area. All participants must show their car park passes (which will be emailed out) to gain entry.  Please have photographic identification available to show if requested. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToilets\n\n\n\nToilets will be available at the parking next to the assembly area. Limited toilets will be available at the start. \n\n\n\nAssembly Area\n\n\n\nThe assembly area is adjacent to the parking area. Gazebos will be available for competitors to share. Very limited space will be available for club tents. There will be a good view of the elite course spectator controls from the assembly area and part of the walk to the start. \n\n\n\nEnquiries\n\n\n\nEnquiries will be adjacent to download in the Assembly Area. Loan SI-cards can be collected from here. \n\n\n\nRelay teams \n\n\n\nThese must be must registered at enquiries before 16.00. \n\n\n\nColour Courses\n\n\n\nLight Green\, Orange and Yellow maps must be booked in advance of the competition. NO ENTRY ON THE DAY. \n\n\n\nTerrain\n\n\n\nOpen sand dunes\, generally low lying with a maximum rise of approximately 20m and with some extremely intricate areas. Runnability varies from very fast to tough. In some areas (mapped as vegetation slow running) progress is hindered by low growing prickly Burnet Rose. Gaiters or other similar leg protection is recommended. \n\n\n\nOut of Bounds areas\n\n\n\nAreas over-printed on the maps with purple cross-hatching are out of bounds. Please also note that all fields adjoining the competition area are out of bounds also. \n\n\n\nFences and Crossing Points\n\n\n\nWhere fences on the map are overprinted in purple as being uncrossable\, they must not be crossed. At these locations crossing points have been provided and must be used. \n\n\n\nMapping Notes\n\n\n\nAll areas used by the courses were resurveyed in September 2024\, primarily to pick up additional paths\, fences and vegetation. Symbols have been updated to ISOM 2017-2 standard except for contours and form-lines which have been made slightly thinner to improve readability. Military targets are represented by the standard black “x” symbol. Flagpoles are represented by the standard black “o” symbol. Prominent trees have been mapped using the standard large and small prominent tree symbols. Be aware that this does not mean that every isolate tree is mapped (“prominence is in the eye of the beholder\, who in this case is the mapper!”). \n\n\n\n\nScale 1:10000 with 2.5m contour interval for Courses 1 – 6.\n\n\n\nScale 1:7500 with 2.5m contour interval for Courses 7 – 15.\n\n\n\nScale 1:7500 with 2.5m contour interval for Yellow\, Orange and Light Green courses.\n\n\n\n\nPrevious map from 2008\n\n\n\n\nClassic Course / Class final details \n\n\n\nCourseClassCONTROLSlengthScale1M21E3915.91:10\,000   2M18E\, M20E279.61:10\,000 W21E 3W18E\, W20E226.71:10\,000   4M35\, M40\, M45249.11:10\,000 M21L 5M50217.71:10\,000   6M16226.41:10\,000 W35  W21L\, M21S    7M55175.51:7\,500 W16\, W40  M18S\, M20S .8 M60165.3 1:7\,500.9M65164.71:7\,500 W45\, W50 10M70124.01:7\,500 W55\, W60\, W65  W21S    11M75\, M80\, M85133.11:7\,500 W70 12W75\, W80\, W85102.01:7\,500   13M14\, W14144.01:7\,500 W18S\, W20S  Light Green    14M12\, W12112.51:7\,500 Orange 15M10\, W10112.01:7\,500 Yellow Non Championship classes are in italics\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nA separate course for M60 (course 8) has been added to accommodate the larger than expected entry within the start window. The courses above have been renumbered accordingly. \n\n\n\nStart\n\n\n\nStarts will be from 11:00 – 14:00. \n\n\n\nThe start for all courses is about 600m from the parking and assembly area along a tarmac road. There will be a small warm-up area within a wooded area enroute to the start. Competitors will be able to view a sample control in the start area. There will be a covered “troop shelter” at the start along with limited toilet facilities. \n\n\n\nElite runners start times\n\n\n\nElite runners will be seeded and start times allocated accordingly. \n\n\n\nThe selection of Early\, Middle or Late Start Times will not apply to Elite runners. \n\n\n\nCode descriptions\n\n\n\nCode descriptions will be overprinted on the front of the maps and loose copies will be available at the start. Code descriptions will be given in IOF format with written translations given for courses 13\, 14 & 15. \n\n\n\nWater on courses\n\n\n\nWater will be available at drink points which will be marked on competitors’ maps. \n\n\n\nFinish\n\n\n\nPlease make sure that you manually “punch” one of the finish SI stations – beacon mode is not enabled.  \n\n\n\nThe finish will be approximately 250m from the parking and assembly area.

The clubs are LVO\, Cork O\, CNOC\, GEN\, BOC\, SET\, FIN\, FERMO\, 3 ROC\, SEVO\, Kerry O and NWOC. \n\n\n\nCompetitors not in the named clubs will place their maps in bags relating to their Bib number 1-99\, 100-199\, 200-299\, 300-399 & 400-499. To help ensure you get your map back\, markers will be available for you to write your Bib number on the back of your map. \n\n\n\nAfter final runners have started\, a club representative should pick up their club maps and distribute to fellow club members. \n\n\n\nNumbered Bags of maps will be brought to the Enquiries tent for collection by individual runners. \n\n\n\nPlease note: any maps not collected will be brought to the Enquiries tent on the following day only. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Last Lap Café \n\n\n\nThe Last Lap Café will be back at IOC providing tea/coffee/snacks and sandwiches from Friday to Monday at IOC and we are delighted to be working with them again.  \n\n\n\n\n\nCosts – Age Class Courses\n\n\n\nEnter DATESSeniorJunior / Full Time StudentFamilyby 31st March£16£8£401st April to 13th April£18£9£45\n\n\n\nCosts – Colour Coded Courses\n\n\n\nSeniorJunior / Full Time Student£10£5\n\n\n\n\n\nEntries Closed (no late entries available)\n\n\n\n\nEnter Online (entries closed 13th April)\n\n\n\nEdit Entries\n\n\n\nCancel Entry\n\n\n\nEntry List\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDogs\n\n\n\nIn common with the other days\, dogs are not allowed in the area. \n\n\n\n\n\nSafety\n\n\n\nThis is a military training area so there is the possibility of some debris on the ground eg. barbed wire\, metal sheeting\, used flares / smoke canisters.Parents\, please advise children not to pick up stray objects\, ‘If it’s not yours\, don’t touch it!’ \n\n\n\nPlease note that there are many sunken rectangular target boxes (approx. 0.9m x 2m x 1m deep) around the competition area.
