Mourne Mountain Marathon

The Mourne Mountain Marathon is a renowned two-day navigation and endurance event held in the scenic Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland. Teams of two navigate courses ranging from 35km to 55km, using map references to find control points in a prescribed order while choosing their own routes. A unique feature is the overnight mountain camp where teams must be fully self-sufficient, carrying all necessary gear for the night.

The event emphasizes teamwork, navigation skills, and endurance amidst stunning landscapes. Courses are based on the detailed 1:25,000 Mourne Mountains map, making it a challenging and rewarding experience for participants aged 16 and above.
