The beginning and end sections of the road route are closed to traffic, ensuring safe and efficient turn arounds. The main stretch of the route is on an open road which runs the spine of the peninsula.
The 10km Run
An short road run soon leads into the dunes of Fal Mor. Challenging but spectacular terrain.
