The race will be on the old road which runs parallel to the main N22 Tralee to Killarney road. This is a very quiet road with only access for local home owners. The finish line will be just before you enter the 4PARK BUSINESS CENTER, which is also our registration point where there is ample parking available. So you must walk approx.. 1mile to the starting point. This makes a good opportunity to warm up before the race. Please allow ample time to get to the starting point.Check Google Maps for directions: https://maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&authuser=0
Race Route......
The route itself is a straight run to the finish line. There is a slight climb (6meters over the mile distance) which is very small. It is accurately marked and AAI permit granted.
