Event overview

Starting at the heart of the village you travel up a concrete lane for under a mile where you then hit the quarry with its loose limestone paths under foot. This is where the real climbing starts with epic views of the coastline, from here you descend down the other side of the Quarry and out onto the Largy Road, with a short out and back before you have a fast descent into the heart of the village under one of the iconic limestone bridges to the finish line.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
