| Brian Farren | Jun 25 2024, 9:23pm | Hi. Interested in doing this run and the Cronin Yard run. Are you putting up a map of the routes? |
| Michael McSweeney | Jun 25 2024, 11:31pm | Hi Brian. The Vertical is the first 3km of the Skyline route, up to Cruach Mor. There is a map on the Skyline page. Race is up hill only. Retrace you steps, carefully, back down to Cronins Yard for refreshments. The lads had the route up through the final kilometer of scrambling marked last year. Cronins Yard Loop is is a fully marked Way Marked Way in the Hags Glen. It leaves Cronins Yard and climbs the main track up through the Glen until you reach the edge of the lake. Then follow the Way Marked Way markings up across the bog and heath, looping back around and following the Way Markings all the way back to Cronins Yard. The first 2.5ish km is on hard rocky trail. The second half is on lovely runnable bog and heath. The route is the first 2.5is km of the old Classic route, then it skips over across the bog to join the finial 2ish km of the new Classic route. Hope this helps. Micheal. |
