Stewards and signage will lead you to the entrance. Give yourself plenty of time to arrive and enjoy the atmosphere, the weather is looking favourable so we are hoping for as many as possible to support the event.
Thanks to all who have helped us so far and have pledged their help on the night."
Located near Ballymacoda in East Cork, this one is easy to access from the east via Youghal and from the west via Castlemartyr and Ladysbridge...
The course takes in a loop to the north-west of the GAA grounds and like the surrounding countryside is pretty flat.
Looking at the photos of the long straight sections and the Ordnance Survey map, I think this is a very fast 4 mile course.
