    you can use Google pedometer or map my run to measure your runs after you've done them becuase only you know what twists and turns you took. You can even choose the sattelite option in google pedometer to map paths in parks that don't show up on the maps.

    I occassionally run in Corcagh, when I'm in Dublin. There are so many permutations there, even when you run around the 'perimeter', that as the other posters say, mapmyrun, or other similar tools are probably your best bet. My 'perimeter' run is approx. 3.15 miles.

    I like Corcagh, but I generally stay on the paths, going round the fishing pond, it comes out at approx. 2.15 miles.

    If your doing the whole lap it is about 4.7 miles but there are a few places where you can miss sections or add on parts. The 4.7 miles is the longest lap I get without going into the mid section of the park again or doing double laps for the large field.

    Great running there tonight :)
