Course, facilities and logistics

The route runs through the Rathfinny vineyards over hilly trails and cambers. The surface is mainly grass, chalky and flint trail with undulating sections. The route is made up of two 5 km loops. Times are recorded via Webscorer and runners must wear their race number on the front and show their bib when passing the finish funnel on both loops.

This is a cupless event; runners must bring their own water vessels. Only water will be available at the start/finish area. Portable toilets will be available near The Hut. A bag drop is allowed at the start at the runner’s own risk and must be clearly labelled. Car parking is provided near the Cellar Door and Tasting Room for runners; single-use parking carries a £5 donation charge while cars with two or more runners park free under the car-sharing criteria. MedExPlus will provide medical cover, and litter bins will be available at Race HQ. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
