Whilst most of the route is on active roadway, the roads in the rural area are extremely narrow and won’t facilitate spectators. There is no parking opportunities.

Once the first cycle is complete competitors will kayak across the Bohernbreena Reservoir and then run/walk down Kippure Mountain to the second cycling stage.
