Can my friends and family see me at the finish line?
- In 2016 we introduced a new finishing area in the grounds of the former Dominican Church which is now the new Athy Community Library.
- It will be on the opposite side of the river (West Side) to where the transition zone will be and it is very spacious and spectator friendly.
- Bring the family and picnic and find a nice spot on the grass beside the River Barrow!
What will I be doing as a marshal?
