<br />
NOTES:<br />
<ul>
<li>SI Card Number is required only for Sunday's event as for the Relay, SI cards will be pre-assigned. </li>
<li>The idea of the relays is that you would run with people who went (or go to) the same university as you - if you do not know who went to your university, we can easily group you with people who did. In the case of non-Irish universities, we can also group you with other non-Irish university alumni. We hope that it will give everyone the chance to mix with people who perhaps aren't in the same local club or who they would not normally run with!</li>
