This year’s route
  • starts in approximately the same area as last year, on Kennedy Quay,
  • taking in Victoria Rd,
  • turning left onto Centre Park Rd, and down along to the Marina.
  • We’ll be going down the Marina, along the new road in front of Lee Rowing Club and Cortado Coffee,
  • and on as far as the slip road down to Pairc Ui Chaoimh
  • From there we go around the Blackrock end of Pairc UI Chaoimh, on the outside,
  • then up between the all-weather pitches and the stadium,
  • and then turn right into the gated GAA car park,
  • and left again after about 100m, out another gate,
  • into the new Marina Park, going up toward the bandstand,
  • then swing left and back down again in front of Pairc Ui Chaoimh, between Pairc Ui Chaoimh itself and the all-weather pitches
  • At that point, the participants will be going in both directions, with barriers in between.
  • At the end then, after we’ve gone past the all-weather pitches, turn right toward CAB.
  • From there continue straight up Monahan Rd
  • and finish more or less at the same spot as in previous years
