About this event

The Slieve Gullion Mountain Race takes runners up one of Northern Ireland's most distinctive peaks, an ancient volcanic summit steeped in Celtic mythology. The 6.3km route climbs 340m through varied terrain, from farmland paths to exposed mountain slopes, rewarding the effort with panoramic views across the Ring of Gullion and beyond. Despite its compact distance, this race demands respect — the ascent is relentless and the mountain weather can be changeable. It's a proper introduction to mountain running for those ready to leave groomed trails behind, with a friendly local atmosphere that reflects the region's strong running community.
