The MTC Leprechaun is a challenging 43-mile ultra marathon held in Ireland, starting from Eccles Hotel in Glengarriff and finishing at the Killarney Court Hotel in Killarney. It forms Day 2 of the Mount to Coast MizMal® series, a 14-day end-to-end running challenge across Ireland. The route largely follows the MizMal® cycling path along the Wild Atlantic Way, featuring varied terrain with over 1,200 meters of ascent and descent.
The race is limited to 40 participants, including MizMal® competitors, and enforces a minimum pace of 4 mph with cut-off times at checkpoints. Finishers receive a bespoke Leprechaun medal, with optional race apparel available. The event celebrates Irish myths and legends, adding a cultural dimension to the ultra running experience.
