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.
