The Irish Trail

L'Ireland 🇮🇪 is a must-visit destination in Europe. So how about combining two passions that are travel and running? 🏃‍♀️ A group of highly motivated organizers has put together a multi-day trail adventure across the several days in the West of the country : The Irish Trail! After 5 years away, the stage trail is back in Ireland. More than just a stage race, The Irish Trail is a human adventure to be lived both among participants and with this history-rich country and its welcoming people… The trip will be punctuated by moments that feel suspended in time, with a sense of far-off lands 🗺️ while you run, with warm and convivial moments during pub evenings. The nature preserved in Ireland and its hospitality spirit will not leave you indifferent! 🫶 Two distances are planned over the five race days 🗓️: one 60 km trail with 1666mD+ / 2060mD - and an 85 km ultra of 2468mD + / 2857mD -. The first distance can be completed in a run 🏃‍♂️ or by walking 🚶‍♀️, the second event is run exclusively in a steady pace. So there are options for all speeds ⚡️, and that’s a good thing, because the landscapes deserve to be admired! 😍

After landing in Dublin or in Cork, you'll head to the first hotel for a briefing to kick off your adventure the next day 🤠. If you’ve never been to Ireland, here’s what’s in store: a wide central plain, surrounded by mountains ⛰️ and hills, with more rugged terrain toward Donegal and Wicklow. The country’s peak sits in the southwest, in the Macgillycuddy's Reeks. This range houses the country’s highest peak (all that 😳): Carrauntuohil at 1,038 m (altitude) 🔝. The Emerald Isle is considered the paradise for anglers 🎣, with its lakes, its riversand its smallest watercourses, the island is rich notably in salmon and in trout 🐟.

During your stay, you’ll witness a stunning display before the grandeur of the Atlantic Ocean 🌊. Craggy cliffs over the sea, rising more than 200 meters. Yes, we’re talking about the Cliffs of Moher! 🤩 Enough about nature, culture is also very strong in Ireland. Your trip will let you discover the country’s entire history from its formation due to the movements of the tectonic plates and erosion 🌋 up to its separation into two distinct parts, including invasions by Vikings ⚔️.

Oh, by the way, Ireland’s distinctive accent ☘️, so work on your English, because it’ll be put to the test! 😅

Places are limited to 50 participants so don’t wait any longer and fly to the westernmost country in Europe! ✈️
