300m or so of a stiff drag/climb
![Belgooly 4 - Hill at 2.25 Miles](../../images/Events/Belgooly-4/Belgooly-Hill.jpg)
After the climb, there is a nice long
drop, followed by a level section, of nearly half a mile - plenty of
scope for a long run for home!

3 Mile Mark
The 3 mile mark brings the start of a
half mile of undulations
![Belgooly 4 - 3 Miles](../../images/Events/Belgooly-4/Belgooly-3M.jpg)
After the final junction before
the main road there is another gradual downslope - beware of the road
camber on the left as you drop down - it slopes sharply to the left, so
you may be better off staying towards the centre of the road

The 400m mark is just before the
Humpback bridge

level initially, with a good run-in
