| Summary | A mixture of forest tracks and open hillside |
| Notes |
AVOID Kilternan as many roads through it are blocked. Instead: From Stepaside just beyond the De La Salle Palmerstown Football club take the DIVERSION road to Enniskerry. Then turn left on to Barnaslingen Lane. Follow very long narrow lane up to parking areas.
OR
From the N11 at Whelehan's Wines (old Silver Tassie) take Cherrywood Road onto Brides Glen Road. Turn left onto Pucks Castle Lane. Follow very long narrow lane and on to Murphy's Lane and continue up to parking areas.
Please drive extremely slowly on these approach lanes and follow the parking officials' instructions.
Carrickgollogan is a mixture of open hillside, runnable forest with lots of paths and tracks as well as denser forest with just a few tracks. The area has not been used in several years and has changed a lot due to damage from fires, last years storms and the ongoing project to change it from conifer to native irish trees and the map has been extensively updated by Eoin Browne. There will be 3 courses Adventure : 2.2 K, Medium 3.7 K and Long 6.1K. The Event center will be the main Carrickgollogan Forest trail carpark and the event tent, Registration and download and finish will be located just on the edge of the carpark. Carparking is extremely limited and we would recommend that people car pool if possible at all. There are 3 options
As with any forest event we would recommend full leg cover.
