Come join us in the mountains this summer!

We will be on the move for about 2 hours each evening with mixture of walking and running and chatting all things trail running.

Here are the 3 dates we will meet : 

• Thursday 17th July : 6.30pm to 8.30pm Fernhill Park Car Park
• Thursday 24th July : 6.30pm to 8.30pm Fernhill Park Car Park
• Thursday 31st July : 6.30pm to 8.30pm Fernhill Park Car Park

Cost : €65 for all 3 nights or €28 for 1 night. If you are booking just 1 evening, there is no need to commit now to which one. Just decide yourself closer to the time. 

How often will we see you : If you have signed up to 1 class, come along to your choice of any of the dates above. If you have signed up to all 3, even better - you will see the progression in your hill running as the weeks go on. We will do similar route each week and you will learn more each time. 

What to wear/bring : Wear your running shorts/bottoms, and a few layers for the top half. A singlet, long sleeve running top and a light raincoat. If you have trail runners you can wear these, but if not, don't worry, your regular running shoes are just fine. 

Food/Drink : For each 100m you climb you loose 1 degree of temperature. You will need a small water bottle and a snack, if you can pop these into a running belt it would be easier than carrying them. We will be moving for 2 hours approx. so throw in a small packet of nuts, jellies or even a gel for convenience.

Why we are doing this : Some of my best summer adventures have been running in the mountains over the years. I plan on doing more this summer and would love to bring some of you along with me. The great thing about this time of year for trails is you don't even need special footwear, the trails are dry and the paths we are using are open wide so lots of room. Summer traffic is usually quieter so I love escaping over to the mountains in the evening without the stress of bumper to bumper traffic. 

Where we meet : Meeting at Fernhill park (see map at link) at 6.30pm. We will meet at the toilets in the carpark. The park closes at 9pm so we will finish our run by 8.30 to get us out in plenty of time. 

New to the mountain : Don't be nervous, that's why we are doing this - to get us up and out and have more confidence in our ability to head off the beaten track a little. We can only do this in evenings in the summer months, so lets make the most of it. 

Cancellations : These classes are not transferrable to another term. They are separate to our usual beach classes. So try your best to come along!
