Mullaghcarn Giant

The Mullaghcarn Giant Race is a 12km mountain running event held in Gortin Glens Forest Park, Omagh, County Tyrone. Featuring a challenging 500m ascent, runners summit Mullaghcarn, the southernmost peak of the Sperrins at 542m, where the iconic Giant statue stands. The course descends through boggy terrain, making trail shoes highly recommended.

The route is fully marked with marshals stationed along the way to ensure safety. This medium-difficulty race is part of the NIMRA and Ulster Championships and requires mandatory safety kit including waterproof clothing, whistle, and emergency supplies. The event offers a competitive yet scenic mountain running experience in Northern Ireland. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
