Stage 1: Belmont Demesne, purpose-built trail, heather paths

Stage 2: Trail

Descending down into the magnificent Killruddery Estate, wind your way back through heather paths, trails and ancient woodland to return to Belmont Demesne and cross the finish line.

Route Terrain

The route varies from sealed roads, wet bog, forest trails and gravel paths. Expect the unexpected!

Bring your crew along!

The start and finish line are located at Belmont Demesne. There are excellent facilities here – ample car parking, a café, fabulous grounds and lots for spectators to do while they wait for you to cross the finish line.

It’s an afternoon event, so no early starts required. All in all, a great summer day out for everyone!
