    Navan Town Council have very generously given us the use of the Civic Space in the town for 2 days. During the day this is where the bike and vehicle inspections will take place. This will be a great chance to see and meet some fantastic athletes and their crews. From 6pm the mc will introduce the racers and at 8pm the race will be officially started by Navan Town Mayor Joe Reilly. The Zone will also be setting up an entertainment marquee with paint balling and mini go karting. Everybody is invited to come along and enjoy the music and the atmosphere.
