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. 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. 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. 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. The climbs, descents and long stretches between them: explore the profile, then open the route in your preferred mapping platform. The route map is for general information, not permission to access the course. Please do not access private sections in Kilruddery and Belmont Estates or Powerscourt Waterfall unless using their permitted public access routes. Check the expected passage times, mandatory cut-offs and services along the route. Cut-off times are highlighted in yellow. Scroll sideways to see every column. “Fastest” and “Slowest” are estimated passage times; cut-offs are the mandatory limits. There are cut-off points along the course, including an option to move onto the 46 km event at Djouce Wall. Read the full cut-off and downgrade guide and speak to a marshal before changing route. Register for the morning bus from Dublin city centre. Mountains, forest trails and a finish beside the sea. 80 km eventA full day of Wicklow trails.
