The date of this year’s race is Saturday 20th June 2009 and the start location is, once again, Carlingford Lough Yacht Club, Killowen Point, Rostrevor, Co Down, BT34 3AN – (http://www.multimap.com/maps/?hloc=GBBT34%203AN#t=l&map=54.07505,-6.18362164&loc=GB:54.07505:-6.18362:16bt343anBT343AN)
This year’s race will see some of last years route used again, some new stuff, some of last year’s route done away with and some new scenery as we expand the race into the Mountains around Rostrevor! More on that at a later date.
We are limited to 50 teams this year.
Once again the Kilbroney Challenge is to be included in the Causeway Coast Adventure Race series (http://www.causewaycoastar.co.uk/). This is a great series of races aimed at all adventure racers and I would suggest that anyone wishing to take part in one get their entry in early as places for these races fill up very fast. If anyone has any queries regarding the races organised by Causeway Coast AR please feel free to contact Ivan Park at ivan@causewaycoastar.co.uk
Until the next update enjoy your training and we hope to see everyone back in Rostrevor for 2009.

The entries are closed and on Saturday 21 June forty two teams from across Ireland are set to pit themselves against the course we have set for the 2008 Kilbroney Challenge. It is a great course (we would say that as we have designed and planned it for the last six months) with amazing views all along the route and we hope each and every one of you enjoy it!
Ok, we have some questions that need answered
1) Are you a vegetarian? We have salads with Spicy Chicken at the finish for everyone and if you have an aversion to the feathered bird please let us know ASAP so we can make some up without chicken. The salads will be ordered on Thursday so we need to know before then. If you don’t let us know the chicken can be removed by you on the day. Also - does anyone have any food allergies?
2) Are you camping? If so please let us know how many of you are camping and for one night or two nights ASAP. NO CAMP FIRES OR LOUD MUSIC

For those who have sat nav or who want to pre print directions using route planner the postcode of the yacht club is BT34 3AN.

START / FINISH AREA & BIKE DROP OFF
Upon arriving at the start / finish area you will be required to sign an entry form, have your SportIdent Dibber allocated to the team and then proceed to the collection of your goodie bag. Once you get your goodie bag you MUST IMMEDIATELY place the bike numbers (which will be located in the goodie bag) on each bike and then leave the bike to the lorry which will transport them to the bike drop location. Only bikes will be transported to the bike drop location – no rucksacks, cycling shoes etc will be transported. You may however leave water bottles, pump, tubes, and food etc on the bike as long as they are securely fastened.
As we will have up to 100 bikes to move we would ask that you arrive early as we may have to make several trips to and from the drop off location to ensure all bikes are transported in time for the race start.
If you feel that your bike is too valuable to be transported by us and would prefer to leave it to the bike drop off point yourself - that is fine. You WILL have to come to the event centre firstly to get the bike numbers placed on it and then travel back to the drop off point (approx 2 miles). You must also notify us that you have done so as we don't want any team arriving at the transition area and their bike still sitting at the Start / Finish Area.
