Course... As the map shows above, the 10k race starts on Patrick's Street in the centre of Cork City. It then proceeds onto the Grand Parade and out Washington Street. At about 2.5kms, there are two right hand turns to get onto the Mardyke.
At 3.5kms, there is a potential bottleneck as the runners will run along the walkway by the walkway next to the river. This lasts for about 700m until the runners reach the North Mall.
After that, it's up into Blackpool with a few twists and turns and back out again onto the quays. At about 8.2kms, it's right over Brian Boru bridge and back down the opposite quay.
After 9kms, it's left onto North Main Street and back onto Patrick's Street and the finish line.
In summary... A flat enough 10k course although it has a lot of twists and turns. Potential bottleneck at 3.5kms. With an 8:45am start, it will be over before the day gets too warm.
