Dear Parents and Guardians,

We thank you for your patience and understanding as the Dublin Juvenile Competition Committee has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure an alternative location for the Dublin Senior, Junior and Juvenile Uneven Age XC Championships this coming weekend. The safety of all competitors, coaches, officials and spectators has been paramount in this decision and we look forward to the Championships on Sunday. 

The second of the Dublin Juvenile Cross Country Championships will take place at Corkagh Park this Sunday 2nd November 2025.

All athletes competing have been pre-registered entry - look out for the DSD Flag and check in with a DSD Official to collect your race number. Parents and Athletes DO NOT need to attend the Dublin Athletics Check-In Tent as all DSD numbers will have been collected. 

·       1st Race Dublin Championships at 11.00am (note times are approximate)

·        Check in and get your number from the DSD Official at the DSD flag

·        Please be there at least 75 mins your race to allow number collection and warm up

As you can appreciate - it takes a lot of effort from all clubs to host an athletics event.   Thank you to the DSD parents and to the volunteers from the Dublin Athletics Board who have given up their time to help on the day, your generosity is very much appreciated.   

NOTE:

Coaches will be on hand to warm-up athletes and will also walk the course before race start time – please note the time that your coach has advised to arrive. It is important that you be on-time as Coaches are unable to wait to start warm-up and walk the course. 

Please note that once racing has commenced, we will not be able to walk the course, therefore it is important that you arrive promptly.

Parking for Corkagh Park is in Wilson Auctions, Kingswood Interchange, Exit 2 Naas Road, Dublin 22.
