The Main Parking area is adjacent to the Community Centre in Carrigaline. It will be signposted, with stewards directing race traffic. Race HQ, Carrigaline Community Centre is just a short walk from the car park
Following completion of road works, leading to the re-routing of the last Carrigaline 5, the course reverts to the traditional one used for the previous 10 years or so, with the start line in Waterpark housing estate, close to Bridgemount
The Start is approx. half a Mile from the hall, will the finish is approx. 0.25 Miles from the hall
Mile 1: Largely downhill - a Fast Mile!
Mile 2: Largely flat, with a few short drags
Mile 3: Long drag, with a short drop before climbing again to the 3 mile mark
Mile 4: Starts with a good downslope section of over half a mile, making for good running. After the turn, there is another climb, followed by yet another fast downslope section
Mile 5: The downslope section continues for approx. 1/4 mile and is followed by the final hill. After this it levels out, until entering Waterpark Estate again. Waterpark is largely concrete, but downslope all the way
