After a trip around Salthill, runners will brace themselves for the fast section into the finish at the Claddagh.

The roads that form the route are Fr Griffin Rd, Merchants Rd, Eglington Street, University Rd, St Mary's Rd, Lower Salthill, Dr Mannix Rd, Rockbarton Rd, the Prom, Grattan Rd and Frenchville.
