Here is the What3words location for the start at Ballypatrick : ///eternally.rectangular.anode
The Half Marathon is a single circular route & the Full Marathon is 2 complete loops.
Both events run exactly the same course.
The route is a mix of forest track with some tarmac road through the forest.
The route will be fully marked with direction arrows at each turn so you can't go wrong!
We will also have a full GPX of the course, for those wishing to use GPS devices.
We also have the option of 10km for those wishing to kick start your running.
This is a great course, you wont be disappointed.
The 10km will be 1 single out and back loop within the forest.
Running through beautiful forestry with stunning views, this is a great way to kick start 2027.
