Ballyhouras – Trail/Hill race in Ardpatrick, County Limerick 8,20km / 330m climbing
The race starts on the forest road immediately to the south of the Mountain Bike Centre. Head up this road, and keep left at the Y-junction after about 800m. Keep straight at the next junction, and then take a sharp left after about another 1.5km. This forest road zig-zags upwards for about 2km. There will be a marker showing where to turn left onto a rough, boggy path. This path leads you across the top of Seefin Mountain (528m). You start to descend and reach a junction with a less-boggy path. Take a sharp left here, and then after about 1km there is a very very sharp right. You then follow this path down until you reach the junction where you kept straight at the start of the run. It’s just less than 1km back to the finish from here.
This race is open to all and the cost is €10.
Please arrive at 12:00 to give time for race registration.
