Route map for MAULIN 2019 by John Bell on plotaroute.com

From the car park barrier continue along the forest road west for about 400m. (*marshal 1) Turn left onto a MTB track up through the forest. Continue up the MTB track for 800m crossing 3 forest roads. It gets nice and steep towards the top. (marshal 2) Turn left onto the forest road and continue southeast for 500m before joining a single track path, turn left and continue southeast for 1km where you join the Wicklow Way near the waterfall viewing point. Turn right along the Wicklow Way and continue for about 1km until you come out of the forest over a fence / stone wall onto the open mountain. Turn right onto the path leading up Maulin (off the WW and away from the Dargle River). Continue along the main path to the top of Maulin. (marshal 3) From the cairn continue west and then veer slightly right following down along the wall until the path switches back right to the northeast. Continue northeast past the gate at the top of the grassy bank (we are not going down this this year) and continue northeast down the zig-zag path through the forest. (marshal 3 after finishing at 2) At the bottom of the zig-zags turn left onto the forest road downhill for 250m then turn sharp right. (marshal 5) After another 250m turn left onto a narrowride / firebreak and continue downhill for 200m. Then turn right onto a forest road (watch out for low branches). Follow the forest road east for 500m until you reach a cross roads. Continue straight through the cross roads in a south-easterly direction for about 250m where you re-join the mtb track that you came up. Turn left and down the mtb track and back the way you came to the finish. *possible marshal positions – subject to numbers of volunteers & weather

Juniors, aged 16-19 can run the full course (i.e. there is no separate Junior course).

Getting There:

Take turn off N11 motorway at Kilmacanogue (towards Roundwood). Take right turn after 800m for Powerscourt Waterfall. The car park is on your left, around 800m beyond the waterfall entrance.

Volunteers (Running)

Check with race director if they have a need for people volunteering and running.
