The Derrybawn Ridge section includes the Zig-Zag trail through Derrybawn Wood, the old Woollen Mills approach and several kilometres on the Wicklow Way before reaching exposed ridge ground with sweeping views. The 30 km and 20 km routes share the first 2 km and the final 3 km, producing a common start and finish experience. The event is organised to raise funds for Laragh GFC and Glendalough AC and serves as the Athletics Wicklow Off Road Championship. The 20 km and 30 km races carry UTMB index status and all races count towards the ITRA National League. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
