Weather Advisory - Precautions and Timetable Change

As you may be aware, there is a yellow warning in place for parts of Ireland this Saturday due to extremely hot temperatures. After considerable thought and deliberation we have decided to alter our timetables to allow for the hottest part of the day to be avoided.  We believe this modification is in the best interest of our participants and their families and prioritises their safety and welfare.
 
As such, the Track and Field events will now commence at 9am with the longer distance races taking place first.  Please see below the revised timetables taking all changes into consideration.
 
As the day is forecast to reach temperatures of up to 31 degrees we would like to advise you of the following:

• We are supplying 3,000 bottles of water to our participants
• We will have shaded areas set up in the Assembly Area for our participants
• We will have 2 indoor areas available as “cool down” zones if anyone is in need of shade/break – these will be signposted – 1/Tyndall College 2/Sports Campus Changing Room
• We will have 2 Ice-Cream Vans on site
• There are 4 fresh water taps available for you to fill up your own reusable water bottles
• We are offering a shuttle bus service from SETU Carlow/Tyndall College and SETU Carlow Sports Campus – this will allow you to park and ride rather than walk any long distance to an overflow carpark
• We have First Aid on site who are fully briefed on the situation
• Areas may put up tents as well as Counties – please note there are two Areas for tents - which will be signposted
