Location...The run is on the walkway beside the Carrigaline to Crosshaven road. The start is approximately 8 miles from Cork City.
Directions....As you approach Carrigaline, follow all signs for Crosshaven which will take you onto a relief road which runs to the east of the town. As you leave Carrigaline on the Crosshaven road, you will pass the GAA grounds. About 500m beyond this point, you will come to the entrance to an industrial estate on the right and the walkway car park is about 200m beyond this on the left. See below...
