FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. Where does the event start ?
The registration and start is at the Templemore Sports Complex in L’Derry. Leaving Derry on the Buncrana Road, travel about 1 mile and as you approach the outskirts of the city you will come to a large roundabout with a new B&Q store. The large green building opposite B&Q is the Templemore Sports Complex. Please be there for registration by 08.00 as we plan to start at 08.30 sharp.
Q2. Will we take more entries on the day ?
Yes. We will not turn people away, but as we have food and drink to order and to minimize the queue at registration, we much prefer to have people pre-entered. Last year almost 100 people entered on the day and this presented substantial logistic issues, extra food, drinks, and certificates at short notice. To encourage more people to enter in good time the entry fee will be £25/€30 until 1st August, after this date the entry fee will be £30/€35. To allow early registration entry to the Inishowen100 can now be made via the internet at http://www.entrycentral.com We cannot guarantee that certificates will be available for people who enter the event on the day.
Q3. If I need a licence, can I purchase one on the day ?
Yes, if you have no insurance we have permission from Cycling Ireland to issue one day licences on their behalf for this event at a cost of £10/€10 Euro each.
