The Bushy Dublin parkrun starts and finishes on the scenic Dodder River path, conveniently located next to the Springfield Avenue bridge across from Rathfarnham Shopping Centre. The course follows a picturesque out-and-back route along the river before entering the park for two anti-clockwise loops around the tranquil duck pond. Runners traverse a variety of charming landscapes, passing over rustic bridges, alongside small waterfalls, and through secluded forest trails. The terrain features a functional mix of tarmac paths and well-trodden woodland tracks that can occasionally be muddy after rain. Primarily flat and fast with a few twists and turns, this route offers a refreshing escape into a "hidden gem" of the Dublin suburbs.
