The Clare Burren 10k follows an entirely paved road route that starts and finishes on the seafront pier in Ballyvaughan. After departing the village, the course travels approximately one mile before turning right onto Fineona Road and then onto the Cappanawalla green road. The terrain features rolling elevation as it provides views of Aillwee Mountain and the coastline before reaching the turn-around point at Pinnacle Well. Participants return to the village via the Coast Road, maintaining a consistent tarmac surface throughout the distance.
