The 20km Cycle
The cycle will be on a single 20km loop. Within 1km you will hit the BLACK HILLS which have been the highlight of the RAS’s final stage for the last three years. This course has always always been won and lost on the bike, Long may this tradition continue. (Map attached at the bottom)
The 5km Run
The run will be on a single loop out and back along the Skerries seafront and around the peninsula. The surface will be a mixture of footpath and grass, but will avoid the sandy beach.
