Run

The run is 5km of cross country. Not running around a field or horse racing track ‘cross country’... this is the real deal!! Prepare to get wet and muddy.

Description

The run will start on a tarmac road, from here you will hang a right and cross three rivers. Take a left and run along a woodland path towards the High Cross of Kilbride. Downhill on a woodland trail to the main river. Cross this. Head up the Fishermans Walk to the road, turn here (back down) follow the river to the turnaround point (end of red line on map). Retrace your steps (start of yellow line on map) re-cross river and follow the yellow route back to Finish/Transition area.

You will be asked to call out your number at the turnaround point. If we don't record your number we will assume you have gracefully exited the course...

There is an aid-station at the turnaround point.

Safety

  • Use old runners. This course is wet and mucky.
  • Mind the uneven ground.
  • The river crossing will have a rope for support if you feel you need it.
