- Route Description:
- New Route for 2025
New route for 2025, starting at the barrier at the promenade as usual, but instead heading straight up to Bray Cross via a trail on the left hand side.
Runners will touch the cross before making their way over the headlands towards the Trig Point on Bray Head Hill, before looping back down on the left side, past the old cable car and Raheen-a-Cluig ruins to finish back at the barrier. The course will be varied with lots of different terrain.
