Getting There:

From Dublin City, head towards Johnnie Foxes. When you come to the traffic lights at Johnnie Foxes head south onto Barrack Road and continue onto Bridge Road (road names taken from Google maps). Approximately 1.5 kms down the road is the entrance to the car-park. This will be sign-posted and/or a marshal will be on the road to direct people in. For people coming from Wicklow and that general direction, probably best to head for Enniskerry and then Bridge Road. The lane itself is located at grid ref: O198 189. There is a charge of three euros for each car. Please bring exact change.

A junior route will be facilitated. Turn-around point for juniors will be at the '2' marker on the map at the link above.

The start of the race will be at the end of the lane beside the field where the parking is available.

Car-parking will be charged at 3 euro per car. Please park following the marshals' instructions. No parking permitted on the general roadside as the road is too narrow Please park following the marshals instructions.
