A Unique opportunity to participate in Donegal’s first Ultra (39.3 mile) Marathon. The race has been structured to allow half Marathon and Full Marathon runners to be part of this amazing challenge. The course winds along the Inishowen 100 scenic drive and of course you don’t get scenery in Donegal without a few hill. As the name suggests there is quite a bit rocky landscape with rolling hills.
This is an amazing challenging and scenic course with something to distract you at every turn and summit so register now and have something truly exciting to train and look forward to.
EXtreme Norths Goal is to provide amazing "Value for money" breaks and accommodation providers listed will be further discounting their rates for competitors and spectators alike.
Ultra Marathon; Starts in Moville, ultra runners will have an easy 5 mile along the banks of the Foyle, a few rolling hills to 8 mile then an 800ft climb over 1.5 mile. The following 3 mile decent will also test the legs.
Full Marathon; Full marathon start point just West of Kinego Bay is a baptism of fire with an immediate climb over 1.5 mile. You can settle in then for a reasonably rolling terraine as you pass through Culdaff and head for Malin Town.
Half Marathon; Walkers start first with runners a half hour later. This is a reasonably level and fast course. Ultra runners who have now completed a full marathon distance so the extra 13.1 mile will be a battle of wills. The last 1.5 mile will be along a sandy beach with the finish line well and truly in your sights.
The reward – The Medal and t shirt, (after all thats what you came for) and the true elation of having completed your own personal challenge, whether that be Ultra, Full or Half. Showers, spa and hot beverages will await you in Ballyliffin but weather pending we might just have a bit of a beach party….. and a pint of course.
