Itinerary description
Full Marathon in Dingle Peninsula:
http://www.dinglemarathon.ie/
On leaving Dingle, participants pass over Milltown Bridge, past the woodlands at Burnham to the seaside village of Ventry where they get panoramic views of the long, curved strand of the stunning blue flag beach. On leaving Ventry the course continues westward, past Dunbeg Fort, and continuing with a sheer cliff on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. The course then reaches Slea Head itself, marked by a stone crucifixion scene, with dramatic views to South Kerry and the Blasket Islands. The course then follows the coast north, past the iconic Coumenoole Strand to Dunquin village.
The Full Marathon continues north and east from Dunquin through to wild open countryside, moving inland to the village of Ballyferriter. You can see over the entire landscape, covering a long straight stretch before returning to the finish line at the Dingle Marina.
