Run Route
Duathlon Run start
The run is on a 2.7km clockwise triangular course around the football pitched in the Phoenix Park, next to the Papal Cross. The run is completely on a tarmac cycle path, however you can run along the grass next to the footpath. In fact running on the grass was a tactic used by Peter Kern when he ran bare foot to victory in 2009 to save time in transition.
The run start times are 7:15pm fast start, 7:30pm medium start, 7:45pm beginner start.
Note: on the second run, the first 200m are through the woods. This allows us to have a one-way flow through transition.

Cycle route
duathlon cycle - all standards welcome
The cycle loop is approx 4.3km in length. It runs on a clockwise loop on roads closed to traffic. Competitors complete 3 laps of this loop. Starting next the Papal Cross, proceed down the Kyber hill, up the Military Road, down through the S-Bends, up St Mary’s hill and across the Acres road back to the start.
There are up to 100 beginners at every event (many on mountain bikes), so we are giving competitors the option to enter a special beginners start when entering online.
