No Marshals = Cancelled Stages!!
Right folks, lets get real for a minute.
As it stands, we are three days out from the start of the 2026 Clonakilty Park Hotel West Cork Rally. We have over 190 crews ready to take on the event.....but we're looking at the very real risk of losing sections of, if not full, stages.
Why? Because we don't have enough volunteer marshals to fill every required location.
If available, please contact Chief Marshall Ronan at +44 7845 403298 or Deputy Chief Marshall Ann-Marie at +353 86 259 6268.
As it stands, we're looking especially precarious for Clogagh on Saturday afternoon and Sams Cross on Sunday while also being wafer thin on a number of other stages across the weekend, and unless we get people to reach out and help then we simply cannot run!
As we get set for this weekend and an incredible West Cork Rally, we still require Marshals to pull on a high-vis, get on the ditches and marshal!
Simply put folks, if we don't have the marshals, we will lose stage mileage and that is the very last thing we want to see. We've done everything we can to organise an incredible event and run the ultimate competitor friendly 3-Day Rally in Ireland, so we absolutely hate the idea of losing stage mileage but its now a pottential reality.
For your few hours giving back to the event, every marshal will receive a Lunch Bag, a 2-Course meal in the Clonakilty Park Hotel as well as being entered into a draw for each stage with €50 vouchers to be won.
MI License Holders - Don't forget about the Competitor Contribution Scheme. A day Marshalling in West Cork will fulfill your CCS requirements for 2027.
Unlike other events, there are no middle of the night meeting points, or long days waiting for three loops of the same location. Especially on Saturday, its possible to both Marshal and Spectate with the split layout of stages!
