Blackstairs Loop

Blackstairs Loop is scheduled in County Wexford on Sunday 30th August 2026. The course distance is listed as 14.30 km with a listed climb of 1000 m. The event is classified as difficulty level 3 with an Easy Terrain designation.

The route is not marked and GPS use is not allowed, so participants must be prepared to navigate without a marked course or personal GPS devices. The event forms part of the Leinster Championship league.

Mandatory kit is Level B - Standard and must be carried by all runners. Required items listed are:

  • Waterproof jacket
  • Hat or buff
  • Gloves
  • Whistle
  • Charged mobile phone with emergency number stored
  • Foil blanket, bivvy bag or equivalent

The final kit to be carried during the race may be confirmed on the day depending on conditions. Participants should have the means to carry all required items. Failure to have the required items may result in denial of entry or disqualification; random kit checks may be carried out.

No entry details have been added for this event. Entries for league events usually open a couple of weeks before the event. Volunteer records and sign-up are managed through the myIMRA system; two non-running volunteer roles are required in a calendar year to qualify for the end of year prize. Volunteering while also running does not count toward that qualification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
