Course..... The 5k starts just to the north of Ballinora on a quiet country road.
The course is pretty reasonable with a gentle climb although it does have a bit of a see-saw finish...
There are two small hills at the end which while a bit testing are also quite short. An action packed last km! :o)
This is a video of the course from a few years ago...
