Liberties Of Carlingford, Ireland • 15 Jun 2025

The Flagstaff to Carlingford Mountain Race is a challenging 10.3-mile (16.5 km) point-to-point mountain race held in Carlingford, Northern Ireland. Featuring approximately 3,400 feet (1,000 meters) of ascent, the course follows the Cooley Mountains ridge to Slieve Foye and finishes in Carlingford. Navigation skills and local knowledge are essential due to the rugged terrain and potential poor visibility.

The race includes several checkpoints and enforces a strict cut-off time at Windy Gap. Participants must carry essential kit including waterproof clothing, map, and compass. The event is part of the NIMRA Long category and the inaugural IMRA Ulster Championship, with a supportive atmosphere and post-race refreshments.
