Tollymore Trail races

About this event

Set at the foot of Northern Ireland's Mourne Mountains, Tollymore Trail Races take runners through ancient woodland in one of the country's most atmospheric forest parks. The courses follow forest service roads and narrow trails, crossing rivers and climbing to viewpoints over the Irish Sea and surrounding hills. November brings classic trail conditions — mud, fallen leaves, and technical stretches through the trees. Both distances (40 kilometres with 1,045 metres of climbing, and 62 kilometres with 1,493 metres) demand solid hill fitness and comfort on varied terrain. Well-stocked aid stations and roving support keep runners fuelled through the laps. The combination of forest depths and mountain backdrop makes this a distinctive late-season challenge.
