Looks like a challenging course..

The hill on Bailey Green Road to the Summit car park is hardcore! :eek:

Very tough first 5km followed by a easy downhill second 5km!

Bit close to the Clontarf Half Marathon but might sign up for the challenge.

Its a good route.

I do it once a week.

that final stretch up to the car park is a killer but its short and sharp.

Once up there its all downhill!!

Slight delay in getting it on the site but all sorted now.

Looks like we will have a full Garda Escort for the lead runners.

Should be a great race.

Spread the word if you are local!!
