Make up an event/race

Always though Howth to Dún Laoghaire, harbour to harbour, would make a great route. It's 25k or so. Maybe it's been done before?

Think there is an organised walk on St Patricks day for that route, out and back!!!!!!!!!!

Always wanted to run this, however id imagine it would ground the city to a stand still if roads were closed. I'll do it some day as a training run

Bring back the toll booths and you’d be faster than the cars anyway.

Or be ironic and have it at Priest’s Leap.

Devils bit mountain is actually outside Templemore in Tipperary. I actually ran a few cross country races very near it a good few years ago, But there is a good view of the Galtee mountain from it😉

But don't let it take from your original point😉😂

Dundrum Shopping Centre.

• Start at the fountain entrance.
• Straight down the ground floor
• Up the first escalator
• U-turn down the first floor, around the customer services area
• Back to the escalators
• Up to the 2nd floor
• U-turn down the second floor, around the food area
• And back the way you came

Almost exactly the right length too, I think.

It's not a new one as it's been done before back in the 1800's but I'd bring back the cross-country steeplechase with proper barriers(not those sorry excuse hurdles of halfcut bales they sometimes throw in these days). I'm thinking track steeple barriers, concrete walls and fences. Dugout water jumps with ice cold winter irish water in proper farmers fields and woodlands.

So basically go back to the origins of what XC and Steeplechase used to be.

Irish Junior Champs 1922 has some good obstacles.
