Glendalough Tucker Trail
The Glendalough Tucker Trail is an 80 km mountain run made up of three out and back loops centred on the Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow. The route follows way-marked trails including St Kevin’s Way, the Spink and the Wicklow Way, with an overall climb of about 3,000 m.
Navigation will use the existing St Kevin’s Way and Wicklow Way signage; only major junctions will be marked and some additional markings may be added at the organiser’s discretion. GPS units are allowed. The race is run as a continuous single-stage event in the order and direction specified in the race booklet and must be completed within 12 hours. The start, finish and transition area are beside the Upper Lake car-park in the Glendalough Valley.
