MTC MACHA
The MTC MACHA is a single day ultra run advertised at 47 miles, new for 2027. It forms Day 3 of the Mount to Coast MizMal series, a fourteen day end to end of Ireland, and is part of the Mount to Coast End to End Challenge Series.
The route starts at Killarney Court Hotel, Killarney and concludes at the Cliff House Hotel, Ballybunion. Competitor numbers are limited to 20 entries plus an additional allowance of 20 MizMal competitors for a maximum field of 40. Finishers receive a bespoke MACHA medal and male and female champions receive bespoke trophies.
The event uses preset cut off points based on a minimum average pace of 4 mph; competitors who fall below this requirement will be withdrawn. The race is cup free so runners must provide their own reusable cup. Maps and GPX files are provided to entrants only and are emailed around four weeks before the race. Each competitor receives a tracking device with an SOS function for monitoring and emergency use.
All entries and deposits are non refundable. At checkout there is an option to upgrade with a race shirt and hi vis jacket and to add personal cancellation insurance. Entrants must meet the organiser age requirement and carry mandatory kit, including a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid items, emergency food and a waterproof map case.
