Lombardstown is located about 8kms west of the town of Mallow. The easiest way to get there from Cork City is to take the N72 Killarney road west from Mallow. After about 7kms, turn left for Lombardstown (signposted). Go over the railway line, through Lombardstown and then take a right at the next junction. Gortroe is signposted 1km from here.


Race HQ is at Crowley's Bar in Gortroe. The course is shown about and it's a reasonably fast course. 

There is one climb after the 3.5 mile mark but other than that, it looks pretty flat.
