The S2S Supreme Courses2s3resize

The event begins at the Westport Plaza & Castlecourt Hotel Resort.

Stage 1

Participants will run up Distillery Road on to the new Greenway and follow the Greenway to Westport Quay. (4km)

Stage 2

The 1st Transition Point is at Roman Island there you change on to your bike and follow the road out via the coast to Murrisk (8k) to Croagh Patrick car park. ( Transition 2)

Stage 3

Changing shoes again to climb Croagh Patrick (5k) which is widely known and we are using the most used side for the race. At the top we urge that you take care on the descent as the loose shale is dangerous and numerous accidents have occurred there in the past.

Stage 4

Returning to Croagh Patrick Car Park to pick up your bike and take on the rolling hills. Taking the main road to Louisburgh turning at Kilsallagh for Drummin where the steep climb of the Maum awaits you; recommended gearing on your bike is 39×27 its 25% in places, through Drummin village and on to Liscarney where it’s all downhill back to Roman Island transition point.

Stage 5

The last section could be the hardest, with a 4 km run to include an obstacle course and sea run, returning to Westport Town via the Greenway, finishing at the Fairgreen overlooking the Mall River.
