Three Route variations.
2km U14 (Crohaun)
8km Junior/Short (White Standing Stone on Main Route)
12km full (Seefin)
Main route starts with a 3km long climb on a peat based trail, up to the summit of Coumaraglin. Runners will pass scaffolding with aerials, and follow the fence line north, staying to the left of the fence at all times. There is then a drop to the gap, where the trail passes a white standing stone, leading to a steep climb towards Seefin. The trail fades away and runners should head back towards the fence line to the top of the steep climb. Staying with the fence (and keeping to the left of the fence), the climb eases for the last kilometre to the top. The turnaround point is close to the summit, but as the summit is on the right of the fence, runners are asked not to go to the summit. A Marshall will turn runners for the return leg. The return leg follows the same route, staying on the same side of the fence.

Volunteers (Running)
