The half-marathon starts and  finishes in Clonmel with the last 5-miles / 8kms along the scenic Blueway next to the River Suir.


The first 7kms of the course are near the river and pretty flat. Just before the 7km mark, there is a climb of about 30m over the next km. 


The course then undulates a bit before dropping back down around the 12km mark. The last 9kms are flat which is just when you need it to be.
