Event Details

The North Coast of Northern Ireland needs little introduction. Its rugged coastline of cliffs beaches and bays looking out across the North Channel towards Scotland are world-famous and for good reason. The coastal path provides one of the most epic and stunningly beautiful courses in the world. Runners even get to run through the world-famous Giants Causeway and climb the infamous Shepherd’s steps on the outward routes. It’s difficult to put into words how spectacular the views are. Portballintrae is located just a few miles from the town of Bushmills and has been the home of the event since it started in 2010. Portballintrae has an excellent hotel called the Bayview with excellent accommodation, bar and restaurant.  The seaside resort towns of Portrush and Portstewart are also a short drive away with plenty of options to stay, eat and drink.

The Ultra Marathon is the longest category at 63km and is a serious undertaking. You will first take a short bus trip to the beach in Portstewart and the start line. From here you will run the costal paths passing through Portstewart and Portrush along the way. You will encounter various trail conditions on this section from pavement, single-track gravel, grass and beaches. The Beach from Portrush to White Rocks is beautiful but brutal. Then onto Portballintrae passing Dunluce castle on the way. On arriving at Portballintrae you will pass through the start line for the Marathon joining the marathon course for the duration of the ultra in an out and back format.
