MTC Abhartach : Day 10 of MizMal 2027
The Mount to Coast Abhartach is a point to point ultramarathon held on 16 May 2027 as Day 10 of the 14 day MizMal event. The measured route distance is 46.7 miles with 1,941 ft of ascent and 1,754 ft of descent. The course runs from Westport Woods Hotel & Spa in Westport, County Mayo to Murphy's Hotel in Tobercurry, County Sligo.
The event is run both as a standalone 46.7 mile race and as part of the full MizMal series. Standalone entry options and a Plus package are offered; places for standalone competitors are limited to 20. Full MizMal entrants have the day included in their 14 day package with accommodation and catering provided as part of that package.
Navigation is via an official GPX route supplied before the event because the route is not fully waymarked. Competitors must carry a GPS device or smartphone, keep a supplied live GPS tracker switched on, and comply with checkpoint and safety procedures. The race has four supported checkpoints at Derrycoosh (8.8 miles), Ross Post Office Ross West (17.8 miles), Noorey Park Belgarrow (27.5 miles) and Carrowliambeg (36.1 miles). The event is cup free so each competitor must carry their own drinking vessel. A bespoke finisher's medal is awarded to competitors who complete the course within the published time limits.
