Welcome to the most scenic and challenging 10 mile off-road runs anywhere!
The route takes you deep into rugged west Cork, following a section of the world-renowned Sheep’s Head Way.
The mountainous route has an elevation gain of close to 500 metres, following minor roadways, laneways and mountain paths as it climbs to bring you along the top of the ridge of the Sheep’s Head Peninsula.
The Glanlough Loop route owes its name to the Glanlough Lake you descend and circle along the way, you are surrounded by spectacular mountain, coastal and sea views abound on all sides.
Beginning and finishing at the Tin Pub in Ahakista, walkers depart at 9.30am, with runners starting two hours later at 11.30am.
There will be water stations on the route with light refreshments in the Tin Pub garden post-race.
