TREC Ireland Championships 2022 - 18th & 19th June

The TREC Ireland Championships 2022 will take place on the 18th and 19th June 2022.

This 2-day 3-phase event will be hosted by West Cork TREC, and the venue for the event is Boulta (north-east Cork).

Day 1 (Saturday 18th June) will see the riders heading out on the POR phase (orienteering section). Riders will have to find their way along a planned route.  Our traceur, Frances, has secured access to a considerable amount of off-road tracks and trails, something all the competitors should enjoy.

Day 2 (Sunday 19th June) will see the riders compete in the grounds of the venue itself for the other two phases, the MA phase (control of paces) and the PTV phase (obstacle course). The riders will be started at intervals and will ride the two phases consecutively.
