As the map shows below, the half-marathon starts near Kilmacthomas and finishes in Dungarvan.
As it was an old railway line, the course is very slightly downhill overall. The old railway line at Kilmacthomas is about 60-metres above sea level while Dungarvan is just above sea level.
The course is certainly a LOT flatter than the average race on public roads.
