Updated: Jun 3
Deadline for online prepayment is Fri 5th June @ 23:59 PM so sign up now!
On Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th June, thousands of Hellraisers will be taking on the Hell & Back and Hell & Back Junior courses and, as we gear up for an epic day of adventure, it’s important to plan your journey in advance.
To help everything run smoothly, we’ve put a clear car parking system in place. Please read the details below carefully to make sure your arrival is stress-free.
We expect over 5,000 cars arriving throughout the weekend so please be patient as we try to get everyone parked as quickly and safely as possible.
You should arrive and park AT LEAST 60 MINUTES before your allocated start time to allow you register and familiarise yourself with all the facilities and services in the Event Village before you start on your hellish adventure.
PARKING LOCATIONS
Cars:
To ensure efficient parking and traffic flow, there will be two designated car parks:
IDA Business Park on Southern Cross Road - on tarmac; and
Killruddery fields - on grass.
Follow the Visual Display Signs on approach, be patient and obey the instructions from parking attendants who will guide you to an available space.
Coaches & Minibuses:
Weather permitting, all coaches and minibuses will be parked on tarmac in the Southern Cross IDA Business Park - so there no muddy wheels! You’ll also exit onto a roundabout, making for a smooth and speedy getaway afterwards!
Please share this Google Maps link with your bus driver: [Click here]
Allow 10-15 minutes to walk between the bus park and the Registration / Event Village.
CARPOOLING
To reduce congestion and minimise environmental impact, we strongly encourage carpooling.
Fewer cars will make parking easier and quicker for everyone.
Share a ride with teammates or friends to help reduce traffic delays.
