Bweeng 10k Road Race Route & Map
Both the
Bweeng 5K & 10k races start approx. 500m from Race HQ. The route
then heads back in the direction of the community centre, turning left,
into the community centre, and completing one lap, in a clockwise
direction, around the community park. After completing this lap, at the
1.2km mark, runners will turn left, and head to Bweeng Crossroads,
where the route again turns left, onto the Lombardstown Road. At the 3k
mark the course splits, with the 5k runners going left, at the V on the
road, and the 10k runners going right.
The 10K route continues along the Lombardstown road, as far as Sean Ogs
Cross (5.6K), where it turns left. Up until now, the route is a
relatively flat and downhill course. After turning left, the route
swings back towards Bweeng. There are some slight pulls along the next
2km, but nothing too testing. There will be a water station just after
the 7k mark. At the 8.4km mark the 10s rejoins the point where the
course originally split from the 5k route. There is an easy run-in to
the finish, just short of the Bweeng Crossroads.
