Tory Hill

Tory Hill is a mountain running event in County Kilkenny taking place on Saturday 9 May 2026. The route is fully marked and GPS use is allowed. The event is part of the Southeast League and uses Level A mandatory kit.

The course distances are:

• 7.8 km with 350 m climb
• 5.0 km short course, junior route with a marshal at the turnaround

The terrain is a mixture of woods, runnable trail and fire road. The course includes about 200 m of ascent in the first 2.4 km and two visits to the summit cross. Runners should have the means to carry required kit during the race; the actual items to carry may be finalised at registration.

Entries open 4 May 2026 and close 8 May 2026. Entry fees are €7 for seniors and €5 for over 65s and under 18s. Entry is limited to 250 participants.

A juniors race takes place on the day. All under 10s must be accompanied by an adult on the route. Organisers request carpooling because car parking is limited and the car park is shared with hillwalkers. Tory Hill is accessed from Mullinavat village; the approach lane to the car park from the southerly direction is in poor condition. Prizegiving will be held at the car park.
