Course Elevation Profile



View from Start Line

Eyeries Start
Start is about 1/3rd mile outside the village, on the quiet R575 road.  The course is essentially downhill or level for the first half mile, and there is a short climb up to the crossroads with the R571 Castletownbere-Kenmare road, after which you pass the GAA pitch on your left.

 

View from 1 Mile Mark

Passing the 1 mile mark, things are pretty level, with a constant slight incline.

The second mile has a pretty sharp climb from approx. 1.5 to 1.75 miles, after which there is a grand downhill section, until about the 5k (3.1M) mark
