    Does anybody know the layout of the course?. Is it a single long lap or multiple small laps?, hills?

    Will be doing this one as well, haven't a clue about the course. I cannot remember how big their fields are at Castleknock though to be able to hazzard a gues as to the size of the course. I'd guess it's at least two laps though as they have the 2mile and a 4mile on at the same time.

    I've done this race the last 2 years and the course is 4 laps with a 400m climb on every loop.

    Watch out for the rugby players!!

    You have been warned!

    The course is 1 mile loop. So men will be doing 4 laps with women doing 2. The course
    is relatively flat will a few small inclines. The course will follow the perimeter
    of the pitches.Course is going good with good to soft in places.

    just looking at the times between this year and last year, and its seems the the times for the first 10, are on avarage 4 mins slower this year. now the pace could just have been slower this year, but i don't think the lead guys would have dropped a minute per lap, so was the lap or conditions different last year?

    My garmin clocked it at 4.4 miles and not 4 and this would go along with my pace because I'm not as slow as it would suggest if it was 4 miles

    I didn't measured myself but have heard others claim it measured from 4.3 to 4.5 miles.
