Carrick Mountain

The Carrick Mountain race, organized by the Irish Mountain Running Association, takes place in County Wicklow. Covering 7.5 km with a 421-meter climb, the course features two main climbs and descents, including the mountain peak and fast downhill single track. The route is fully marked and considered moderately difficult, suitable for runners prepared with mandatory Level B kit such as waterproofs, gloves, and emergency gear. Parking is available at Cooley Farm, with proceeds supporting cancer research, and carpooling is encouraged due to limited village parking. The event offers a challenging yet scenic mountain running experience in a well-organized setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
