Registration

Important before registering:

  • Make sure you have the dates of birth (DOBs) of all your crew members.
  • Every boat has to be entered by a member of its own crew. The registration system does not allow people to register another crew’s boat.
  • Take your time to read the Regulations and the information on Prizes & Awards, in particular about boat and crew elegibility.
  • SUP participation is restricted to experienced stand-up paddle boarders and by invitation only. Please contact the office in advance of registering.
  • Relay Teams: Please note that relay teams are eligible for a discount whereby any additional participants pay just 50% of the entry fee. e.g. a 5-person boat at early bird rate: 5 * €30= €150 plus 4 extra relay participants at 50% of the price (4 * €15) €60 = €210 in total. Please contact the office for a special promo code in advance of registering.
  • Due to the large number of participants involved, late entries will not be facilitated.
  • Accommodation: The Cork City Marathon takes place on Sunday 4 June so will be a big demand on accommodation in Cork. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Meitheal Mara is a community boatyard and training centre in Cork City which works with youths and adults from a wide variety of backgrounds.
  • Registration Deadlines: Due to handicapping there will be separate closing dates for rowing boats and kayaks as specified above.
