About the race
The Circuit of Glendalough is a mountain running event in County Wicklow that follows a free-route format between a series of mapped checkpoints. The course covers 16.40 km with approximately 1000 m of climb and visits four peaks: Camaderry (698 m), Lugduff (652 m), Mullacor (657 m) and Derrybawn (474 m), returning to the start at Glendalough upper lake car park beach area. The route is not marked and GPS use is not allowed, so competitors must navigate between the checkpoints in the listed order.
The event is part of the Leinster Championship and has an event difficulty rating indicating difficult terrain, over 500 m ascent and a distance greater than 10 km. Mandatory Level C kit is required and includes a waterproof jacket with hood and taped seams, hat or buff, gloves, whistle, charged mobile phone, foil blanket or bivvy, waterproof full leg cover, at least 500 mL water carrying means, emergency food, map of the route/area and a compass. Organisers may conduct random kit checks and can refuse entry or disqualify those without required items. The actual kit to be carried will be finalised on the day and announced at registration.
Parking is at Glendalough upper lake car park with a €5 parking fee. Refreshments and prizegiving will take place at the finish area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
