Top 20 placing at National Senior Cross Country Championships
Any athlete (Junior/ U23 / Senior) who has represented Ireland at cross country/ road or track (1500m and above) over the last three years will also be offered elite free entry.

We offer overall prize money and Irish only prize money. Prize money for the women will be awarded to elite women only not women who run fast times from the mass start. Prize money will also not be awarded past 32:00 mins for men and 36:00 mins for women.

*An Irish athlete can collect both prize structures.

Numbers in both elite fields are restricted so apply early to avoid disappointment.
