    10km runners meet the ‘Courtyard Archway’ in front of the Beyond the Trees Visitor Centre, and will be directed to the start point by our stewards. The start of the 10km race this year will be from the Tree Top Tower (walk past Avondale House to reach the start - signage will be in place).

    Runners will travel out the main Avondale Avenue and continue STRAIGHT onto the Road towards Rathdrum. Runners are asked to keep on the Left Hand Side of the Road on this section of the route, and then Take a Left Turn at the Rathdrum Town roundabout and a Left Turn further along at the crossroads, looping back towards the Park. Please note that roads are not closed to traffic so run no more than 2 abreast and be mindful of vehicles.

    When directed by stewards on the return approach to the Avondale Avenue / Main Park Entrance, runners are asked to cross RIGHT with caution, onto the footpath.
    Runners turn RIGHT to join onto Avondale Avenue , before heading into the Forest Park for a looped section of the route. Orange flags will mark the route within the forest and stewards will be directing you at key points of the route.

    On the final approach to the finish line, runners will pass the Tower and Avondale House and will then finish by turning RIGHT under the Courtyard Archway. Please exit through the rear of the Courtyard and not back under the Archway, or your chip will be reactivated and your time will not be accurate.

    Junctions are manned by An Garda Siochana, Civil Defense vehicles and Event Volunteers.

    A water station is located in the centre of the course between the Tower and Avondale House, on both sides of the path. You will reach this point after about 6km and again at 10km so if you require additional water please bring it along on your person. There is an additional water station at the finish line.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
