Important Information

The Course

The Inis “Iron” Meáin is cleverly designed, affording participants a choice of 3 courses. All courses follow the same route for the most part. The 10K NOVICE or ‘CRUA’ course covers 10.5k of island roadway. The 10K SENIOR or ‘FÍOR CHRUA’ course (12k) is the same, but at roughly the mid-way point, there is a turn-off which takes in a sand dune and beach run. This route then joins up again with the road route after 2 kilometres.

The shorter 5K course follows the same route to a point.

The courses are very well marked and take in a large part of the island, with spectacular views and variation in terrain. At each kilometre point there are signs indicating the remaining distance to go.
