This is mainly a walking event but the let the runners off a few minutes early last year. Its a 15km route with a mix of Road/Fire Road and Trails. Winner last two years was just under the hour. Last of the walkers were around 3' 30" SEMRA family and friends put on a very lavish spread of food to replenish does burned calories!!!

| Mícheál O'Mullain | Nov 22 2018, 9:41pm | Hi Rob am doing this this year as close and handy to in laws in a Clonmel looking at route it seems very little that isn’t Road or fire road so am wondering is it a runners effort as opposed to trail runners? |
| John J Barry | Nov 22 2018, 10:23pm | Yes, normal shoes are fine. A very steep descent from the summit is the only point shoes are needed. just be careful for a couple hundred metres |
| Mícheál O'Mullain | Nov 22 2018, 10:53pm | Cheers John........looked like it and I hate getting crippled using trail shoes on road! |
| Robbie Williams | Nov 23 2018, 4:33pm | Ya Michael One point after 3km single track & then descent from cross for 600m slippy short grass, other than that grand |
| Mícheál O'Mullain | Nov 25 2018, 5:13pm | Cheers lads good call runners were fine just had to refrain from charging down from Cross. Good outing |
