The race will start and finish on the Centre Park Road. The route goes down the Marina....past Blackrock Castle and onto the walkway by the waterfront. It then returns on the old railway track back to the finish line on Centre Park Road.

For anyone coming from outside Cork then see the map below...

The start and finish line is literally just a few hundred metres from the Pairc Ui Chaoimh GAA stadium which is in turn is about a mile or so east of the city centre.

In terms of difficulty, the course itself would be considered very fast. There is a small hill around the 1.5 mile mark before Blackrock Castle and a short sharp pull at 4 miles where the footbridge crosses the South Ring Road. Otherwise, the vast majority of the course is flat and fast. About 40% of the course is on public roads while the remaining 60% is on quiet walkways.

If you are interested then enter as soon as possible to avail of the cheaper entry.

If there are a number of you are from the same athletics club then you make sure you avail of the special club offer......either 20 entries for €300 or if you're a smaller club 10 entries for €150.

This race has an Athletics Ireland licence and has been accurately measured by Jones Counter. Chip timing will also be used.
