Annaloughan Loop 10K Trail Run

The Annaloughan Loop 10K Trail Run is a new trail event scheduled for Saturday 28 February 2026 at McCrystals Track, Jenkinstown, Dundalk, Co. Louth (A91 KD68). The race distance is 10 km on trail terrain with a total elevation gain of 240 m. All participants who complete the course receive a unique finisher medal.

The route uses forest trails and natural terrain, and includes steady climbing alongside faster runnable sections and notable views across the surrounding area. The organiser presents the event as suitable for road runners curious about trying a first trail race, regular trail runners seeking an early season effort, and people setting a goal for early 2026.

Event logistics include on-site parking. Online ticketing information is provided, with an example listed entry price of €37 and online sales shown as available from 16 December 2025 to 5 March 2026. The description of the course emphasises a mix of runnable trail and natural surface rather than purely technical singletrack.

This summary focuses on the course character, elevation, location, entry detail and participant recognition without reference to specific start or finish times. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
