This is a 44 mile loop (since at least 2015, apparently used to be longer, maybe 51 miles?) right in the centre of Ireland. The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise out of the flat plains of the midlands. The mountains provide opportunities for hiking , running and mountain biking. There are a network of trails which link to form the loop , there are five different trail heads from which to start which also serve as ideal places for meeting support crew.

It lends itself to both supported and unsupported FKT attempts.

There are a couple different loops here, both about the same length.
