Like all our 3 Challenges, our 44 km route begins on Bray harbour front. Leave behind the seaside promenade to tackle the steep climb to the iconic cross on Bray Head. Here you bid farewell to your views of the Irish Sea and turn towards the mountains proper following a route past the Little and then Great Sugarloaf mountains before a challenging loop in Djouce woods and then returning to Bray via Belmont Demesne where the famous "Baked" cafe is located about 7km from the finish.
