The RunSkibb 10k is an out-and-back road race that starts and finishes at the Riverside Complex on Marsh Road. The route heads into Skibbereen town before following the Schull Road alongside the Ilen River toward Newbridge. After crossing the river, participants pass local landmarks including the Skibbereen Rowing Club before reaching the halfway turnaround point. The course is primarily flat and paved, retracing the same riverside path back to the finish line.
