🧚 MEET AIBELL – THE FAIRY QUEEN OF IRISH LEGEND

✨ THE ENCHANTING SPIRIT OF THE MIZMAL® GRAND FINALE!

Thursday 20th May 2027 | Day 14 of Mount to Coast MizMal®

👑 WHO IS AIBELL?

Deep within the rich tapestry of Irish mythology lies the story of Aibell, also known as Aoibheall, a mysterious and powerful figure associated with the supernatural world of the Aos Sí – the fairy folk of ancient Ireland.

Unlike the terrifying monsters and fearsome warriors encountered throughout our MizMal® adventure, Aibell represents a different kind of mythical power.

Enchantment.

Beauty.

Prophecy.

And the mysterious influence of the Otherworld.

Traditionally associated with Craig Liath, near Killaloe in County Clare, Aibell appears in Irish folklore as a fairy queen whose presence could influence the lives and fortunes of mortals.

And she possessed something rather extraordinary.

A MAGICAL HARP!

🎶 THE HARP THAT COULD CAPTIVATE THE WORLD!

According to Irish folklore, Aibell possessed an enchanted harp whose music held extraordinary power.

Some versions of the legend describe its melodies as so beautiful and overwhelming that those who heard them could be drawn into an otherworldly state.

But there was a darker side to its enchantment.

In certain tellings, the harp's music could foretell death or bring about a person's final moments.

Clearly, this was no ordinary musical instrument!

Fortunately, our MizMal® competitors won't need to listen for a supernatural harp as they approach Malin Head.

Although, after thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, a little magical encouragement might be rather welcome!

⚔️ AIBELL AND THE LEGEND OF BRIAN BORU

Aibell also appears in traditions surrounding Brian Boru, the famous High King of Ireland.

In one well-known legend associated with the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, Aibell appears to Brian Boru and foretells his death.

Despite the warning, the king goes on to face his destiny.

It's a story that reflects Aibell's association with prophecy, fate and the mysteries of the supernatural world.

And while our competitors certainly aren't marching into battle, they will understand something about confronting a challenge that demands courage and determination.

After all, fourteen consecutive ultramarathons are hardly a gentle stroll through the Irish countryside!

🌿 A FAIRY QUEEN FOR THE FINAL DAY

Throughout Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027, our competitors have encountered an extraordinary collection of characters drawn from Irish mythology and folklore.

From mischievous spirits and terrifying supernatural creatures to legendary warriors and mysterious beings, each day's challenge has carried its own mythical identity.

Now, on the fourteenth and final day, we meet Aibell.

A figure associated not simply with strength or fear, but with enchantment, destiny and the unknown.

And what could be more appropriate for the final chapter of such an extraordinary adventure?

For thirteen days, our competitors have been chasing a distant dream.

Now that dream is almost within reach.

🏃 THE FINAL 27 MILES!

Our MTC Aibell ultramarathon takes competitors from Buncrana to Malin Head, the northernmost point of mainland Ireland.

For standalone competitors, this is a memorable 27-mile challenge through the beautiful Inishowen Peninsula.

For those undertaking the complete fourteen-day MizMal® adventure, however, these miles carry a very different significance.

They are the final miles of a journey that began at Mizen Head on 7th May.

The final miles after thirteen consecutive ultramarathons.

The final miles towards an achievement that very few people will ever attempt, let alone complete.

FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN CHALLENGES. ONE FINISH LINE!

✨ THE REAL MAGIC IS HUMAN DETERMINATION!

Aibell may have possessed an enchanted harp, but there's something even more remarkable about the athletes who reach this final stage.

Their determination.

Their resilience.

Their ability to continue when their bodies are exhausted and their minds are begging them to stop.

No fairy magic can replace the months of preparation, the countless training miles and the courage required to take on an event of this magnitude.

And no mythical spell can carry a competitor across the finish line.

That achievement must be earned.

ONE STEP AT A TIME.

🇮🇪 MALIN HEAD – WHERE LEGENDS ARE MADE!

Imagine the moment.

After fourteen days of running, the finish line finally comes into view.

The northern tip of mainland Ireland.

The end of the road.

The culmination of an extraordinary journey.

There may be laughter.

There may be tears.

There will certainly be some very tired legs!

But above all, there will be the knowledge that something remarkable has been accomplished.

For successful full MizMal® competitors, the final Aibell medal will be joined by the prestigious overall MizMal® finisher's medal.

FOURTEEN DAILY MEDALS. ONE OVERALL MEDAL. FIFTEEN IN TOTAL!

And memories that will last a lifetime.

🧚 WILL AIBELL'S MAGIC HELP YOU REACH MALIN HEAD?

Perhaps the fairy queen will look kindly upon our competitors.

Perhaps her mythical harp will provide the inspiration needed for one final push.

Or perhaps, after thirteen days of extraordinary endurance, our runners will discover that the greatest magic of all has been within them from the very beginning.

THE POWER TO KEEP GOING!

🏁 THE FINAL LEGEND. THE ULTIMATE FINISH LINE.

The Pooka has been conquered.

The Leprechaun has been outwitted.

The Banshee has been silenced.

The Dullahan has been outrun.

The Bodach has been defeated.

Now just one mythical figure remains.

AIBELL – THE FAIRY QUEEN!

And beyond her lies the ultimate destination.

MALIN HEAD!

⚡ FOLLOW THE MAGIC. CONQUER AIBELL. COMPLETE THE MIZMAL® LEGEND!

27 MILES. BUNCRANA TO MALIN HEAD.

THE FOURTEENTH DAY. THE FINAL CHALLENGE. THE GREATEST REWARD!

🏁 THE FINAL JOURNEY – BUNCRANA TO MALIN HEAD!

Thursday 20th May 2027 | Day 14 of Mount to Coast MizMal®

🇮🇪 THE END OF AN EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE!

Fourteen days ago, our competitors stood at Mizen Head, looking north towards a distant dream.

Since then, they've battled through hundreds of miles of Irish countryside, conquered thirteen legendary ultramarathons and pushed themselves beyond limits they may never have imagined possible.

Now, finally, the last day has arrived.

Welcome to MTC Aibell, the grand finale of Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027!

Today's challenge takes competitors from Buncrana to Malin Head, a 27-mile journey across the spectacular Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal.

For our full MizMal® warriors, these are the final miles of an extraordinary fourteen-day adventure.

And waiting at the finish?

THE NORTHERNMOST POINT OF MAINLAND IRELAND!

🟢 START LOCATION – INISHOWEN GATEWAY HOTEL, BUNCRANA

📍 Inishowen Gateway Hotel

Buncrana, Co. Donegal, Ireland

Postcode: F93 PPH9

What3words: ///untruth.slangy.verify

The MTC Aibell begins at the Inishowen Gateway Hotel in Buncrana, where our full MizMal® competitors will have finished the previous day's MTC Bodach ultramarathon.

After thirteen consecutive days of running, there may be some tired legs and stiff muscles at the start line!

But there will also be something rather special.

THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS THE FINAL DAY!

For standalone competitors, Buncrana marks the beginning of their own 27-mile adventure.

For our full MizMal® warriors, it's the starting point of the last chapter in a journey that began almost two weeks earlier at Mizen Head.

One more start line.

One more race.

One final challenge.

🌊 THROUGH THE INISHOWEN PENINSULA

Leaving Buncrana behind, competitors will make their way north through the beautiful landscapes of the Inishowen Peninsula.

This remarkable corner of County Donegal is renowned for its rugged scenery, coastal landscapes, rolling hills and spectacular Atlantic views.

The route towards Malin Head offers a fitting backdrop for the final stage of our Irish adventure.

But don't be fooled by the relatively short distance compared with some of the earlier MizMal® stages.

TWENTY-SEVEN MILES IS STILL A SERIOUS ENDURANCE CHALLENGE!

And after thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, every mile must still be earned.

Competitors must follow the official GPX route supplied by the organisers, taking care on public roads and at junctions.

🏁 FINISH LOCATION – MALIN HEAD, COUNTY DONEGAL

📍 Malin Head

Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal, Ireland

THE NORTHERNMOST POINT OF MAINLAND IRELAND!

The precise race finish position, including its What3words reference and access instructions, will be confirmed in the final race information.

And what a place to finish!

Malin Head is one of Ireland's most iconic coastal landmarks, where dramatic cliffs, rugged scenery and the wild Atlantic create a spectacular setting.

For our standalone MTC Aibell competitors, reaching Malin Head represents the successful completion of a memorable 27-mile ultramarathon.

But for those completing the entire Mount to Coast MizMal® adventure?

It means something altogether different.

🇮🇪 MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Imagine standing at Malin Head, looking out across the Atlantic Ocean.

Fourteen days earlier, you were standing at Mizen Head, at the opposite end of Ireland.

Between those two moments lie hundreds of miles, fourteen consecutive ultramarathons and an extraordinary test of physical and mental endurance.

There will have been moments of exhaustion.

Moments of doubt.

Perhaps even moments when continuing seemed impossible.

But somehow, one mile at a time, the journey continued.

And now?

YOU'VE DONE IT!

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD!

FOURTEEN CONSECUTIVE ULTRAMARATHONS!

ONE EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT!

🏅 THE ULTIMATE REWARD

Every successful MTC Aibell finisher will receive a bespoke medal commemorating their achievement.

For competitors who successfully complete the entire fourteen-day MizMal® challenge, there's something extra special waiting at Malin Head.

The prestigious overall Mount to Coast MizMal® finisher's medal!

Together with the fourteen individual daily medals, that makes:

FIFTEEN MEDALS IN TOTAL!

But the greatest reward won't be hanging around your neck.

It will be the knowledge that you've achieved something truly extraordinary.

🚗 IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION

Standalone competitors are responsible for arranging their own transport to the start at Buncrana and their onward journey from Malin Head.

Please remember that the start and finish locations are approximately 27 race miles apart.

Malin Head is a remote coastal destination, so advance travel arrangements are strongly recommended.

Full fourteen-day MizMal® competitors will receive separate instructions regarding their event accommodation, catering and end-of-event arrangements.

Final start times, finish-point details and logistical instructions will be provided before race day.

🧚 AIBELL AWAITS – AND SO DOES THE FINISH LINE!

The fairy queen of Irish legend provides the inspiration for our final challenge.

But the real magic will happen when our competitors arrive at Malin Head.

For some, it will be the completion of their first ultramarathon.

For others, another remarkable achievement to add to their running history.

And for our full MizMal® warriors, it will be the culmination of fourteen days of courage, determination and extraordinary endurance.

🏁 THE FINAL 27 MILES. THE ULTIMATE DESTINATION.

START: Inishowen Gateway Hotel, Buncrana.

FINISH: Malin Head, County Donegal.

DATE: Thursday 20th May 2027.

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN ULTRAMARATHONS. ONE FINAL FINISH LINE!

And so, after thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, hundreds of miles and an extraordinary journey across Ireland, we arrive at the final chapter.

WELCOME TO MTC AIBELL!

The fourteenth and final stage of Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027.

Today, our competitors leave Buncrana behind and head north towards one of the most iconic destinations in Ireland.

MALIN HEAD – THE NORTHERNMOST POINT OF MAINLAND IRELAND!

Our final race may be the shortest stage of the entire fourteen-day adventure, but don't be fooled.

With 27.5 miles of running and 1,699 feet of climbing, there's still one last challenge to conquer.

And for our full MizMal® warriors, those legs will already have carried them through thirteen consecutive ultramarathons!

🧚 THE FAIRY QUEEN AWAITS!

The final stage takes its name from Aibell, the enchanting fairy queen of Irish mythology.

Associated with the supernatural world of the Aos Sí, Aibell is remembered in folklore for her mysterious powers and magical harp.

Perhaps her enchanting music will provide a little encouragement as our competitors tackle their final miles.

But there will be no magical shortcuts to Malin Head.

EVERY MILE MUST STILL BE EARNED!

📍 THE ROUTE – BUNCRANA TO MALIN HEAD

The MTC Aibell begins at the Inishowen Gateway Hotel in Buncrana, where our full MizMal® competitors will have completed the previous day's MTC Bodach challenge.

From here, the route heads north through County Donegal's spectacular Inishowen Peninsula.

Competitors will encounter rolling terrain, beautiful Irish scenery and the excitement of knowing that the ultimate finish line is finally within reach.

The race features two supported checkpoints before reaching Malin Head.

Fourteen consecutive days.

Fourteen individual races.

Hundreds of miles.

And an unforgettable journey from the southern tip of Ireland to the northernmost point of its mainland.

🌊 THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

Imagine the scene.

The final miles are behind you.

Malin Head comes into view.

The Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you.

There may be a few runners who simply want to sit down and never stand up again!

But above all, there will be pride.

And the knowledge that something truly remarkable has been accomplished.

🧚 AIBELL – THE FINAL GUARDIAN OF THE FINISH LINE!

Throughout our MizMal® adventure, competitors have encountered an extraordinary collection of mythical characters.

The mischievous Pooka.

The elusive Leprechaun.

The fearsome Banshee.

The terrifying Dullahan.

The mysterious Bodach.

And now, finally, the enchanting fairy queen herself.

AIBELL!

Perhaps her magical harp will provide a fitting soundtrack to the final moments of our extraordinary journey.

But the greatest magic won't come from Irish folklore.

It will come from the determination of the competitors who have refused to give up.

🇮🇪 MORE THAN A MEDAL – A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES!

Long after the aches and pains have faded, the medals will remain.

Each one a reminder of a particular day.

A difficult climb.

But somehow, you did.

And eventually, those individual moments became something extraordinary.

📍 Malin Head, Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal

Distance from CP2: 9.3 miles

Total Distance: 27.5 miles

What3words: ///greasy.subliminal.fund

THE NORTHERNMOST POINT OF MAINLAND IRELAND!

And here it is.

The finish line we've been talking about since the very beginning.

The destination that seemed so far away when our competitors set off from Mizen Head on 7th May.

Now, after fourteen days, it is finally within reach.

Imagine arriving at Malin Head.

The Atlantic Ocean stretching out before you.

The final miles behind you.

And the realisation that there are no more races to run.

No more checkpoints to reach.

No more daily finish lines.

YOU'VE DONE IT!

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD!

FOURTEEN CONSECUTIVE ULTRAMARATHONS!

ONE EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT!

📍 ROUTE DISTANCE BREAKDOWN

Section	Stage Distance	Cumulative Distance
Start – Buncrana	—	0.0 miles
CP1 – R244	9.3 miles	9.3 miles
CP2 – Balleelaghan	8.9 miles	18.2 miles
Finish – Malin Head	9.3 miles	27.5 miles

TOTAL ROUTE DISTANCE: 27.5 MILES

⛰️ ELEVATION PROFILE

Total Ascent: 1,699 feet

Total Descent: 1,545 feet

The final stage features a mixture of climbing and descending as competitors make their way towards Malin Head.

Although the distance is shorter than the previous MizMal® stages, the elevation changes will still require careful pacing and energy management.

And with thirteen consecutive ultramarathons already completed, even the smallest hill may feel rather more substantial than it did on Day 1!

🧭 GPX NAVIGATION

The MTC Aibell is a GPS-navigation event.

Competitors will receive the official GPX route file approximately four weeks before the race.

All runners must follow the prescribed route and visit both designated checkpoints.

Please ensure your GPS watch, navigation device or smartphone application is fully charged and that you are familiar with its operation.

The route may include public roads and junctions, so competitors must remain alert to traffic and follow all applicable road safety requirements.

⏱️ MINIMUM PACE & MAXIMUM RACE TIME

Competitors must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including time spent at checkpoints.

Based on the confirmed measured distance of 27.5 miles, the maximum completion time is:

6 HOURS, 52 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS

The clock continues running during checkpoint stops.

Manage your time carefully, refuel sensibly and keep moving towards the ultimate finish line.

🧚 THE FINAL LEGEND AWAITS!

Our final ultramarathon takes its name from Aibell, the enchanting fairy queen of Irish mythology.

Associated with the supernatural world of the Aos Sí and the legend of a magical harp, Aibell provides a fitting character for the final chapter of our extraordinary adventure.

Perhaps a little fairy magic will help our competitors through those final miles.

But ultimately, the real magic lies in the determination and courage of those who have made it this far.

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. ONE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY.

For standalone competitors, completing the MTC Aibell will be a fantastic achievement.

But for those undertaking the complete fourteen-day Mount to Coast MizMal® challenge, reaching Malin Head represents something truly extraordinary.

Fourteen consecutive ultramarathons.

Hundreds of miles across Ireland.

Fourteen bespoke daily finisher's medals.

And the prestigious overall MizMal® medal for successfully completing the entire challenge.

FIFTEEN MEDALS IN TOTAL!

But the greatest prize of all?

The knowledge that you've run from Mizen Head to Malin Head.

🏁 THE END OF THE ROAD. THE END OF THE RACE. THE BEGINNING OF A LEGEND!

There are no more stages after Aibell.

No more mythical characters waiting around the corner.

No more distant finish lines.

Just 27.5 final miles between Buncrana and Malin Head.

And one last opportunity to achieve something extraordinary.

FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN ULTRAMARATHONS. ONE ULTIMATE DESTINATION.

Competitors will receive instructions on how to use this feature before race day.

🧚 WILL AIBELL GUIDE YOU TO THE FINISH?

Our final ultramarathon takes its name from Aibell, the enchanting fairy queen of Irish mythology.

Associated with the supernatural world of the Aos Sí and the legend of a magical harp, Aibell provides a fitting mythical companion for the final stage.

Perhaps her enchanting music will inspire our competitors as they approach Malin Head.

But ultimately, the greatest magic of all is the determination that has brought our full MizMal® warriors this far.

Fourteen consecutive ultramarathons.

Hundreds of miles.

And now, finally, the ultimate finish line.

🌊 THE MOMENT EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR!

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. ONE FINAL RACE. ONE LAST CHALLENGE AGAINST THE CLOCK!

And here we are!

After thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, hundreds of miles and an extraordinary journey across Ireland, our competitors have reached the final day of Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027.

WELCOME TO MTC AIBELL!

Our fourteenth and final stage takes competitors from Buncrana to Malin Head, covering a measured distance of 27.5 miles, with two supported checkpoints along the way.

For standalone competitors, it's an exciting ultramarathon through the spectacular Inishowen Peninsula.

For our full MizMal® warriors, however, these are the final miles of an extraordinary fourteen-day adventure.

And there's just one thing standing between them and the ultimate finish line.

THE CLOCK!

⏱️ MAXIMUM RACE TIME – 6 HOURS 52 MINUTES 30 SECONDS

All competitors must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including time spent at checkpoints.

Based on the confirmed route distance of 27.5 miles, the maximum permitted completion time is:

6 HOURS, 52 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS

This includes all running, walking, eating, drinking and checkpoint stops.

Remember:

THE CLOCK DOESN'T STOP WHEN YOU DO!

📍 MTC AIBELL – CHECKPOINT CUT-OFF TIMES

Location	Cumulative Distance	Latest Elapsed Time
🟢 Start – Inishowen Gateway Hotel	0.0 miles	00:00:00
💚 CP1 – R244, County Donegal	9.3 miles	02:19:30
💚 CP2 – Balleelaghan	18.2 miles	04:33:00
🏁 Finish – Malin Head	27.5 miles	06:52:30

IMPORTANT: All times are calculated from each competitor's official start time.

These are the maximum elapsed times based on the required minimum average speed of 4 mph. Final checkpoint operating arrangements will be confirmed in the pre-race instructions.

💚 CHECKPOINT 1 – R244, COUNTY DONEGAL

Distance: 9.3 miles

Cut-Off: 2 hours 19 minutes 30 seconds

The first checkpoint arrives after 9.3 miles.

For our full MizMal® competitors, the excitement of knowing that this is their final day may provide an extra spring in their step.

But careful pacing is still essential.

Refuel, replenish your fluids and prepare for the next section.

THE FINISH LINE IS GETTING CLOSER!

💚 CHECKPOINT 2 – BALLEELAGHAN

Cumulative Distance: 18.2 miles

Cut-Off: 4 hours 33 minutes

The second and final checkpoint arrives at 18.2 miles.

And what a milestone this represents!

For our full MizMal® competitors, this will be their final supported checkpoint of the entire fourteen-day adventure.

Fourteen days of running.

Hundreds of miles.

Countless checkpoint stops.

And now, just 9.3 miles remain.

Take on sufficient food and fluids for the final section.

Check your navigation.

And prepare for the last push.

NEXT STOP – MALIN HEAD!

🏁 THE FINISH – MALIN HEAD

Total Distance: 27.5 miles

Final Cut-Off: 6 hours 52 minutes 30 seconds

And here it is.

The ultimate finish line.

The northernmost point of mainland Ireland.

The destination that has been waiting since our competitors first set off from Mizen Head on 7th May.

For standalone competitors, reaching Malin Head within the permitted time represents the successful completion of a challenging 27.5-mile ultramarathon.

But for those who have undertaken the entire Mount to Coast MizMal® adventure?

It means something altogether different.

FOURTEEN CONSECUTIVE ULTRAMARATHONS COMPLETED!

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

⚠️ DON'T LET THE FINAL DAY CATCH YOU OUT!

Although the MTC Aibell is the shortest stage of the fourteen-day adventure, it still demands respect.

The route includes 1,699 feet of ascent and 1,545 feet of descent.

And for our full MizMal® competitors, thirteen previous ultramarathons will undoubtedly have taken their toll.

It's important to remember that the minimum 4 mph requirement includes all stops.

A lengthy break at a checkpoint could make the difference between finishing within the permitted time and missing a cut-off.

Our advice?

START SENSIBLY. FUEL REGULARLY. KEEP YOUR STOPS EFFICIENT.

Competitors who fail to meet the required cut-off times may be withdrawn from the event.

🧚 AIBELL'S MAGIC CAN'T STOP THE CLOCK!

Our final ultramarathon takes its name from Aibell, the enchanting fairy queen of Irish mythology.

Associated with a magical harp and the mysterious world of the Aos Sí, Aibell is a fitting mythical companion for the final stage.

But even her legendary powers won't stop the race clock!

The final miles must still be earned.

One step at a time.

One checkpoint at a time.

Until finally, after fourteen extraordinary days, there are no more miles left to run.

🌊 THE MOMENT OF A LIFETIME!

Imagine arriving at Malin Head.

The Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you.

Your final race is complete.

And after fourteen consecutive days of extraordinary endurance, you can finally stop running.

There may be tears.

There may be laughter.

There may be some very tired legs!

But above all, there will be pride.

Because completing Mount to Coast MizMal® is an achievement that will remain with you for the rest of your life.

🏅 FOURTEEN DAYS. FIFTEEN MEDALS. ONE LEGENDARY ACHIEVEMENT!

Every successful MTC Aibell finisher will receive a bespoke daily medal.

And for competitors who successfully complete the entire fourteen-day challenge, the prestigious overall MizMal® finisher's medal awaits.

FOURTEEN DAILY MEDALS + ONE OVERALL MIZMAL® MEDAL = FIFTEEN MEDALS!

But the greatest reward is knowing that you've conquered the entire journey from Mizen Head to Malin Head.

🏁 ONE FINAL RACE. ONE LAST COUNTDOWN. THE ULTIMATE FINISH LINE!

27.5 MILES. TWO CHECKPOINTS. 4 MPH MINIMUM.

MAXIMUM TIME: 6 HOURS 52 MINUTES 30 SECONDS.

THURSDAY 20TH MAY 2027.

Thursday 20th May 2027 | Day 14 of Mount to Coast MizMal®

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. ONE FINAL RACE. TWO LAST CHECKPOINTS!

And here we are!

The fourteenth and final day of the extraordinary Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027.

After thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, hundreds of miles and an incredible journey across Ireland, our competitors are preparing for their final challenge.

MTC AIBELL – 27.5 MILES FROM BUNCRANA TO MALIN HEAD!

Our final stage may be the shortest race of the entire fourteen-day adventure, but don't be fooled.

With 1,699 feet of climbing and thirteen previous ultramarathons already in their legs, our full MizMal® warriors will need every ounce of energy they can muster.

Fortunately, two supported checkpoints will provide opportunities to replenish supplies and prepare for the miles ahead.

And this time, there's something very special waiting at the finish.

THE END OF THE ENTIRE MIZMAL® JOURNEY!

🍫 WHAT'S AVAILABLE AT OUR CHECKPOINTS?

Our checkpoints provide an opportunity for competitors to take on food and fluids during the event.

Typical refreshments may include:

• 💧 Water for replenishing bottles and hydration packs.
• 🍌 Fresh fruit and other easy-to-eat snacks.
• 🍫 Chocolate, biscuits and sweet treats.
• 🥨 Savoury snacks for those who have had enough of sugary energy products.
• 🍬 A little something to lift the spirits when the legs begin to complain!

The exact selection may vary between checkpoints and will be confirmed in the final race information.

Competitors should carry sufficient food and fluids to remain self-sufficient between checkpoints.

REMEMBER – YOUR NUTRITION IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

💚 CHECKPOINT 1 – R244, COUNTY DONEGAL

📍 R244, Co. Donegal, Ireland

Distance from Start: 9.3 miles

What3words: ///becomes.acquire.marked

The first checkpoint of the final day!

By now, our competitors will have covered the opening 9.3 miles of their journey towards Malin Head.

For standalone runners, this is a welcome opportunity to refuel and prepare for the next section.

But for our full MizMal® competitors, there's an additional reason to smile.

After thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, the ultimate finish line is finally getting closer!

Top up your fluids.

Grab something to eat.

Check your supplies.

And prepare for the next 8.9 miles.

MALIN HEAD IS CALLING!

💚 CHECKPOINT 2 – BALLEELAGHAN

📍 Balleelaghan, Ireland

Distance from CP1: 8.9 miles

Cumulative Distance: 18.2 miles

What3words: ///redundancy.conserved.levels

And here it is.

The second and final checkpoint of MTC Aibell.

But for our full MizMal® warriors, this is something altogether more significant.

THE FINAL SUPPORTED CHECKPOINT OF THE ENTIRE FOURTEEN-DAY ADVENTURE!

Think about that for a moment.

Fourteen days of running.

Hundreds of miles.

Countless checkpoint visits.

And now, finally, there's just one last stretch between our competitors and the ultimate destination.

9.3 MILES TO MALIN HEAD!

Make sure you take on sufficient food and fluids for the final section.

Check your navigation equipment.

And perhaps take a moment to thank the checkpoint volunteers who have helped make this extraordinary adventure possible.

Then it's time to go.

ONE FINAL PUSH TO GLORY!

🥤 REMEMBER – MIZMAL® IS A CUP-FREE EVENT!

In keeping with our commitment to reducing unnecessary waste, all competitors must carry their own reusable drinking vessel.

This may be a collapsible cup, water bottle or hydration pack.

Disposable drinking cups will not be supplied at checkpoints.

Please help us protect the beautiful landscapes of County Donegal by taking your litter with you and disposing of it responsibly.

⚡ BRING YOUR OWN SPECIALIST NUTRITION!

Every ultrarunner has their own preferred approach to fuelling.

Some rely on energy gels.

Others prefer real food.

And after thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, our full MizMal® competitors may have developed some rather interesting food cravings!

Whatever works for you, make sure you bring sufficient supplies.

Competitors requiring particular sports nutrition, electrolyte products, dietary foods or personal medication must make their own arrangements.

We strongly recommend practising your race nutrition during training.

THE FINAL DAY IS NOT THE TIME FOR EXPERIMENTS!

⏱️ REFUEL SENSIBLY – THE CLOCK IS STILL TICKING!

Even on the final day, competitors must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including checkpoint stops.

Based on the confirmed measured distance of 27.5 miles, the maximum completion time is:

6 HOURS, 52 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS

Time spent eating, drinking, changing clothing or resting at checkpoints all counts towards your total race time.

So while we certainly want competitors to refuel properly, we also encourage efficient checkpoint stops.

EAT WELL. DRINK REGULARLY. KEEP MOVING!

🧚 THE FINAL NINE MILES – WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS!

Our final ultramarathon takes its name from Aibell, the enchanting fairy queen of Irish mythology.

Associated with a magical harp and the mysterious world of the Aos Sí, Aibell provides a fitting mythical companion for the final stage.

Perhaps her enchanting music will provide a little encouragement during those final miles.

But for our full MizMal® warriors, the real motivation will be something much more powerful.

The knowledge that Malin Head is finally within reach.

After fourteen days of extraordinary endurance, the finish line is no longer a distant dream.

It's just 9.3 miles beyond the final checkpoint.

🇮🇪 THE END OF AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY!

For standalone competitors, completing MTC Aibell represents a fantastic 27.5-mile ultramarathon achievement.

But for our full MizMal® competitors, reaching Malin Head will mean something truly extraordinary.

Fourteen consecutive ultramarathons.

Hundreds of miles across Ireland.

Fourteen legendary challenges.

And one unforgettable journey from Mizen Head to Malin Head.

The daily finisher's medals will have been earned.

The prestigious overall MizMal® medal will be waiting.

And the greatest reward of all?

All competitors must be physically prepared and suitably trained for the demands of an ultramarathon.

By entering MTC Aibell, competitors acknowledge the physical and mental challenges associated with ultra-distance running.

Every runner is responsible for assessing their own fitness, managing their effort and making sensible decisions throughout the event.

If you become unwell, injured or unable to continue safely, you must inform the organisers.

For our full MizMal® competitors, the accumulated fatigue of thirteen previous ultramarathons must be taken seriously.

NO FINISHING TIME OR MEDAL IS WORTH COMPROMISING YOUR HEALTH!

⏱️ 2. MINIMUM PACE & CUT-OFF TIMES

All competitors must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including checkpoint stops.

Based on the measured route distance of 27.5 miles, the maximum completion time is:

6 HOURS, 52 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS

The calculated checkpoint cut-offs are:

Location	Distance	Latest Elapsed Time
CP1 – R244	9.3 miles	02:19:30
CP2 – Balleelaghan	18.2 miles	04:33:00
Finish – Malin Head	27.5 miles	06:52:30

All times are measured from each competitor's official start time.

Competitors who fail to meet the required cut-off times may be withdrawn from the event.

Final checkpoint operating arrangements will be confirmed in the pre-race instructions.

THE CLOCK DOESN'T STOP WHEN YOU DO!

🧭 3. FOLLOW THE OFFICIAL GPX ROUTE

The MTC Aibell is a GPS-navigation event.

Competitors must follow the official GPX route provided by Ultra Running Ltd.

Deliberate shortcuts, unauthorised route changes or failure to follow the prescribed course are not permitted.

The GPX file will be supplied approximately four weeks before race day.

All competitors are responsible for ensuring they have suitable navigation equipment and understand how to use it.

FOLLOW THE ROUTE – MALIN HEAD IS WAITING!

📡 4. GPS TRACKING

Every competitor will be provided with a GPS tracking device.

The tracker must remain with the competitor throughout the race and must not be deliberately switched off, tampered with or transferred to another person.

GPS tracking allows organisers to monitor progress and provides an additional level of safety.

The tracker also includes an SOS facility for genuine emergency situations.

All tracking devices must be returned in accordance with the organisers' instructions.

💚 5. CHECKPOINT PROCEDURES

The MTC Aibell has two supported checkpoints:

💚 CP1 – R244, COUNTY DONEGAL

Distance: 9.3 miles

What3words: ///becomes.acquire.marked

💚 CP2 – BALLEELAGHAN

Competitors must visit both checkpoints in the correct order.

Competitors must obey Irish road traffic laws and remain alert to approaching traffic.

Particular care must be taken at road crossings and junctions.

THE ROADS ARE NOT CLOSED FOR THIS EVENT.

The excitement of approaching Malin Head must never take priority over personal safety.

🌿 8. RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The Inishowen Peninsula is a beautiful part of Ireland, and we ask all competitors to help keep it that way.

Littering is strictly prohibited.

All food wrappers, gel packets and other waste must be carried to an appropriate disposal point.

Competitors must respect local residents, private property, wildlife and the natural environment.

Remember, MizMal® is a cup-free event.

LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND BUT FOOTPRINTS!

🆘 9. WITHDRAWALS & EMERGENCIES

Any competitor wishing to withdraw must inform the event organisers or an authorised race official.

DO NOT LEAVE THE COURSE WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE ORGANISERS.

In an emergency, follow the procedures explained in the pre-race briefing.

GPS trackers include an SOS facility for genuine emergencies.

In a life-threatening emergency in Ireland, contact the emergency services on 112 or 999.

🏅 10. FINISHER'S MEDALS & AWARDS

Every competitor who successfully completes the official MTC Aibell route within the permitted time and in accordance with the race rules will receive a bespoke finisher's medal.

Bespoke trophies will also be awarded to the first male and first female finishers.

For those undertaking the complete fourteen-day Mount to Coast MizMal® challenge, the rewards are even more special.

Successful completion of all fourteen stages earns the prestigious overall MizMal® finisher's medal.

FOURTEEN DAILY MEDALS + ONE OVERALL MEDAL = FIFTEEN MEDALS!

⚖️ 11. ORGANISERS' DECISIONS

Ultra Running Ltd reserves the right to make decisions necessary for the safe and fair conduct of the event.

This may include changes to the route, checkpoint arrangements, cut-off procedures or event operations where circumstances require.

Competitors must comply with reasonable instructions issued by event officials and marshals.

🧚 12. THE FINAL RULE – ENJOY THE MOMENT!

After fourteen days of extraordinary endurance, the finish at Malin Head promises to be an emotional occasion.

For our full MizMal® competitors, this is the moment they've been working towards for months, perhaps even years.

The final checkpoint.

The final miles.

The final finish line.
