The event offers two distances:

The route starts at South Quay in Wicklow Harbour, follows coastal roads and then continues into the rolling countryside of County Wicklow. Both distances finish inside Wicklow Gaol. The course is professionally measured and certified and uses chip timing for results.
Facilities and services include a finisher’s medal, finish-line refreshments, and a bag drop at Blackcastle that opens at 9:00am. Toilets are available at the start/finish and at approximately 6.5 km, 12 km and 16 km. Water is provided in paper cups at one point on the 10 km and at 6.5 km, 12 km and 16 km on the half marathon; participants are asked to use provided bins.

The half marathon has a general cut-off time of 3 hours 30 minutes.
