Granite Peaks Races
The Granite Peaks Races, organized by the Northern Ireland Mountain Running Association, take place at Tollymore Forest Park, County Down, on Sunday, 25th May 2025. The event features three challenging mountain running races: an 80km ultra, a 50km ultra, and a 25km race, all with significant elevation gains and rugged terrain. The courses traverse scenic areas including Tollymore and Donard Forests, the Mourne Wall, Silent Valley, and several mountain summits such as Slieve Binnian and Slieve Donard.
The races demand advanced kit and navigation skills, with routes marked only at major junctions. The 80km and 50km races serve as trials for the 2025 World Mountain Running Championships. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
