CYCLE COURSE

The cycle route is a 96k single loop which will take you deep into the heart of the world-famous Burren National Park. This one lap cycle will put you through your paces!

Junctions

All key junctions will be marshalled but please remember you will be riding on public roads not closed to traffic. It is YOUR responsibility to ride within the provisions of the Highway Code and give way where necessary.

Other Competitors

Please be aware that we also have a standard distance races route taking place on the Sunday. This means some lead cyclists on the Gauntlet may be joined on the last 15km of their race by fresher legged competitors. These competitors will be wearing different coloured bib numbers and will be easily recognisable. For those of you who have raced before please note the movement of the first feed station on the map below.

Relay Teams

Relay teams must ensure they pass the timing chip between team members during transition. This must take place adjacent to your bike location on the bike rack.

Litter

Competitors must not drop litter out on the course. If caught littering you will be disqualified.

Respect For All

Please respect all other competitors, event staff and members of the public as you race.

Cut Off Time

The cut off time for the bike leg is 7 hours after race start. You will not be allowed to continue if you are not back in transition by then.

Feed Stations

There will be feed and water stations out on the bike course. Please see the fuelling page for more details.
