The Youghal Bay 10K begins on North Main Street in the heart of the historic town, sharing its vibrant starting point with the half marathon. The single-lap route guides runners through the town's medieval streets, passing the iconic Clock Gate Tower before heading toward the scenic Front Strand and the local Greenway. This course is exceptionally flat and fast, designed specifically for participants looking to achieve a personal best on a smooth, paved surface. As the path follows the coastline, runners are treated to expansive views of the bay and the lighthouse before looping back toward the town center.
