Causeway Coast Ultra set to be the most scenic Ultra in Ireland Following on from the success of the 2009 Causeway Coast Marathon and other events the organisers, 26 Extreme, have just released an “Ultra Distance” event to the mix for 2010. The event will be 39 miles and will follow one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world.
The Ultra will start in Portstewart and will follow the Causeway Coast Way to Portballintrae. From here it will pick up the Marathon Route and will follow the tracks and trails between Portballintrae and Ballintoy Harbour.
The entire route passes through magnificent coastline scenery with fine views of wide bays, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and off – shore rocks, all of which characterise the Causeway Coast, making its beauty and uniqueness world famous.
In addition to the Ultra Marathon and Marathon there will also be a Half Marathon and a 10k run/walk incorporated into the route – these races, like the Marathon, will also finish in Portballintrae. There will also be a “Challenge Walk” on the day along the same route of the Causeway Coast Marathon.
