Mourne Mountain Marathon

Mourne Mountains, United Kingdom • 20-21 Sep 2025

The Mourne Mountain Marathon is a renowned two-day navigation and endurance event held in the scenic Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland. Teams of two navigate courses ranging from 35km to 55km, visiting control points in order but choosing their own routes. A unique feature is the overnight mountain camp where teams must be fully self-sufficient, carrying all necessary gear for the night.

The event emphasizes teamwork, navigation skills, and endurance across challenging terrain. Courses are based on the detailed 1:25,000 Mourne Mountains map by Harvey Maps. The marathon offers a blend of adventure, stunning views, and camaraderie in a classic mountain setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
