EcoTrail Wicklow · The longest race in our Irish series

From the coast.
Into the mountains.

Bray Head. The Sugarloafs. Lough Tay. An unforgettable trail journey through the Garden County and back to the sea.

80KILOMETRES



Coast · mountains · forest

A full day of Wicklow trails.

The longest race of our Irish series takes you from the coastal town of Bray to the Wicklow Mountains National Park. Your journey begins on the seaside promenade before the short, steep climb to the iconic cross on Bray Head. Here you bid farewell to your views of the Irish Sea and turn towards the mountains proper.

  1. 01 / THE CLIMBS

    Bray Head & the Sugarloafs

    Interesting rocky trails take you across Little and Great Sugarloaf Mountains, passing the scenic Kilruddery Estate on the way to the Wicklow Way — a 132 km walking trail stretching south from Dublin.

  2. 02 / THE HEART OF WICKLOW

    Waterfalls, lakes & forest

    The middle section offers nearly every type of good trail imaginable, a few quiet country roads and plenty of ups and downs. Pass Powerscourt Waterfall and the Lough Tay “Guinness Lake” viewpoint.

  3. 03 / HOME TO THE SEA

    Roundwood to Bray

    A loop of the newly upgraded Roundwood Reservoir trails marks the start of the return journey via Belmont Estate. The seafront finish promises a true Irish welcome.

We expect most finishers to arrive between 9 and 12 hours after setting out, with dusk settling over Dublin Bay and the lights of Bray and Dublin welcoming runners home.
