Summary Sand Dunes
Notes

Leinster League Event but open to everyone. Variety of course levels from 2k to 10k, increasing in technical difficulty.

All the usual colour courses will be available. 

Entry is via the online entry system  only, at orienteering.ie There will be No EOD available on the day.

  • Terrain: The terrain is mostly runnable sand dunes. The vegetation on the dunes nearer the sea is mostly marram grass. Further away from the sea there is more long grass, ferns, and some brambles making running a bit slower. There are some small trees and bushes in places. Midway down the area there is a large section of marine bushes similar to gorse. This is marked as green fight on the map. Compared to other sand dune areas in Ireland, Cahore is most similar to Bull Island. However there are some larger dunes on Cahore.
