Lough Mohra is a mountain running event located in County Waterford. The race features a fully marked route that traverses a variety of landscapes including forest, open mountain, fire roads, and single trails. Participants encounter a mix of surfaces such as rocks, muck, and cattle grids while following a course that passes alongside the Glasha River and Lough Mohra.

The main 15.60 km route involves a total ascent of 450 m. The race starts at the Harneys Cross Road Junction and enters the Glenpatrick Bridge Loop. Runners head toward Lough Mohra and the Rath Beag Loop before entering a slate quarry trail.
