Loughshannagh
Loughshannagh is a Race in the Hills and Dales series event held at Ott Car Park (lay-by). The course is run anti-clockwise on open mountain terrain, covers 8 km with approximately 800 m of climb, and is not marked.

Competitors must attach race numbers to the chest; numbers fixed to shorts may be difficult to scan and can lead to disqualification. Full body cover must be carried; failure to pass the kit check in poor conditions may result in disqualification. The start grid reference is 277 268.
