Mourne Way Marathon

Rowan McMahon / 12.01.2010

Following on from the success of last years race the event is once again set to attract runners from, Ireland, the UK and Europe to compete in what is fast becoming the most talked about off road marathon in Ireland.

In an added twist to this years event 26 Extreme are pleased to announce the “Mourne Way Ultra Marathon” – a back to back marathon event which will see runners run off road across 52 miles (84km) of the best scenery that Northern Ireland has to offer in an “out and back” format. We will also have marathon, half marathon, 10k and 26 mile challenge walk events on the day.

All routes will be fully waymarked - therefore navigation skills will not be a requirement for this event.

There is something for everyone at the event and we also hope to have an expo area set up in Kilbroney Park on the day of the event which will have food stands and other shops/stalls that participants and their families will be interested in. If anyone wishes to reserve a patch for a stall please contact us through the email address on the Mourne Way Marathon Website and we will do our utmost to accommodate you.

Bring the family, stay in the locality for the weekend and enjoy the fun by competing in or taking part in one of the most exciting events on the running calendar.

Entries for this fantastic event are now open and all details are contained on the website – www.mournewaymarathon.com and you can click through to the entry page from this site also.

We can also announce that timing for the 2010 Mourne Way events will be provided by our events timing partner ChampionChip Ireland. No more dibbing at locations en route, just run, run, run.
