MTC Gancanagh is a 52-mile ultramarathon in Ireland, running from The Woodfield Hotel in Clifden, Galway, to Westport Woods Hotel & Spa in Mayo. It’s part of the Mount to Coast End to End Challenge and doubles as Day 9 of the MizMal End to End Ireland project. The mostly MizMal route follows the Wild Atlantic Way and concludes at Westport Woods.
Special features include a bespoke finisher medal, optional race shirt and hi‑viz jacket, a cup-free policy, and real-time GPS tracking. The field is capped at 20 Gancanagh runners. Checkpoints at CP1 (10.2 miles), CP2 (20.8 miles), CP3 (30 miles) and CP4 (41 miles) lead to the finish (52.4 miles).
