Start is about 1/3rd mile outside the village, on the quiet R575 road. The course is essentially downhill or level for the first half mile, and there is a short climb up to the crossroads with the R571 Castletownbere-Kenmare road, after which you pass the GAA pitch on your left
The second mile has a pretty sharp climb from approx. 1.5 to 1.75 miles, after which there is a grand downhill section, until about the 5k (3.1M) mark
From the 3 mile mark, there is a steady rise for teh first 2/3rds mile, but this increases until just after 4 Miles
