Yellow course will have taped section.

Course lengths are shorter than usual for that colour due to the slow nature of some of the terrain. They are expected to provide similar challenge to colour courses of other events.

Parking will be on the ESB road into Lough Nahanagan, (under Turlough Hill) at O 078 002. Parking needs to be off road to keep room for 2 way traffic on the ESB road.

Note* Take care as you drive down the ESB road where it crosses St Kevin’s Way. There is a race on this Sunday along St. Kevin’s and runners will be crossing the road downhill towards Laragh.

Our thanks to Wicklow Mountains National Park (most of competition area) and ESB parking and access for facilitating this event.
