    From their website
    The course is spectacular and one of the most scenic courses in Ireland.

    Scenic is code for hills

    It'll be 'rolling', no doubt about it. I stayed right on the coast there at Muckross Head a couple of years ago. Beautiful spot. Hilly. Would be a great marathon experience but you can forget about setting a decent time anyway!

    Agreed. One of the hilliest coast roads in Ireland, probably! Very beautiful. Norb did it last year or the year before.

    Did it in 2018 and it was awesome. And very hilly, constantly rolling up and down.

    Make sure to lower your expectations regarding finishing time, though. +20/30 minutes at least.

    Hilliest and hardest marathon I have ever done, but also most enjoyable!

    I would recommend it for the view alone
