RoamWild will be providing all shuttles services for practice in the lead up to the event. Our minimum recommendation for practice shuttles is to book one shuttle for each side of the hill, this will allow you to practice all stages of the course (Released 3rd Jan 2025).
Please see detailed notes via their booking links below, and we strongly recommend booking your shuttles ASAP to secure your desired time.
PLEASE NOTE that all shuttle pick-up points and marshalling area will be located in Peter St in Gormanston. Riders will need to make their own way there, and will then be transported back to Gormanston after the completion of their ride. Please contact RoamWild direct if you have any questions.
