The event organisers are working in partnership with An Garda Siochana and Cork County Council to ensure that traffic disruption along the route is kept to a minimum where possible during the event, but with an event of this size there will be delays on the route and surrounding areas. Members of the public are advised to avoid travel near the course route where road closures will be in place on Friday 18th August and Monday 21st August, 2023.
