NORN IRON 100 MINI - 30 May 2027
The Norn Iron 100 Mini is a timed 37 miles section of the larger event that runs from Dungiven to Gortin and follows the waymarked Ulsterway route. The course includes road, trail, forest and bog terrain, contains hills, and offers views across the Sperrin mountains. Participants are tracked with an event GPS tracker and the organiser supplies a GPX file for navigation.
Pack collection and registration take place at Gortin and transport is provided from the finish location to the start in Dungiven. The event provides water stations at checkpoints, medical cover, event insurance, a bespoke medal and T shirt, post‑race refreshments and a tracker. The organiser operates a no trace policy and does not supply single use bottles or cups.
Entry is limited to those aged over 18 who can support themselves running unaided and who agree to carry mandatory kit for the whole event. Mandatory kit includes a fully charged mobile phone, foil blanket, hat or bandanna, waterproof jacket and trousers, gloves, at least 13 miles of water, food for the event, water bottles or a hydration bladder, the supplied tracker and a backpack. Random kit checks will be carried out and non compliance will result in disqualification.
Reccy runs for the broader NI 100 route are scheduled with dates to be confirmed; they are training runs for registered participants and are self sufficient. The event allows walking poles, permits crew access where terrain allows but forbids pacers or buddy runners, and has a 12 hour time limit for completion.
The organiser offers a deposit system with a £15 deposit and a final balance due on or before 1 March 2027. Deposits may be refundable if the organiser cancels the event for lack of feasibility; participant withdrawals are non refundable but entries may be deferred once subject to conditions. Transfers to another person are not permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
