🌍 THE MOUNT TO COAST END TO END CHALLENGE

⚡ THREE EPIC JOURNEYS. TWO COUNTRIES. ONE EXTRAORDINARY ENDURANCE SERIES!

🏃‍♂️ HOW FAR ARE YOU PREPARED TO GO?

For most runners, completing a marathon is a significant achievement.

For others, the challenge grows to 50 miles, 100 miles or perhaps a multi-day ultramarathon.

But what happens when even those distances are no longer enough?

What happens when you start dreaming about running from one end of a country to the other?

WELCOME TO THE MOUNT TO COAST END TO END CHALLENGE!

Organised by Ultra Running Ltd and proudly supported by Mount to Coast, our End to End Challenge brings together some of the most demanding and rewarding multi-day ultrarunning adventures imaginable.

These aren't ordinary races.

They're extraordinary journeys that test endurance, resilience, determination and the ability to keep moving forward, day after day.

And now, with the addition of Mount to Coast MizMal®, Ireland joins Great Britain in our growing family of epic end-to-end running challenges.

🇬🇧 MOUNT TO COAST LEJOG – LANDS END TO JOHN O'GROATS

17 CONSECUTIVE DAYS – APPROXIMATELY 860 MILES

One of the most iconic endurance journeys in Great Britain.

Beginning at Land's End, the southwestern tip of mainland Britain, competitors head north through England and Scotland towards the legendary finish at John o' Groats.

Seventeen consecutive days of ultrarunning.

An average of approximately 50 miles every day.

Hundreds of miles of constantly changing scenery.

And one extraordinary goal.

RUN THE LENGTH OF GREAT BRITAIN!

From the rolling countryside of southern England to the rugged landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, LEJOG is an unforgettable test of physical and mental endurance.

Every day presents a new challenge.

Every finish line is another step towards an achievement that very few runners will ever experience.

🇬🇧 MOUNT TO COAST JOGLE – JOHN O'GROATS TO LANDS END

17 CONSECUTIVE DAYS – APPROXIMATELY 860 MILES

Same extraordinary country.

Same enormous challenge.

But this time, we're heading south!

Starting at John o' Groats in the far north of mainland Scotland, competitors make their way through Scotland and England before reaching the finish at Land's End.

Once again, seventeen consecutive days of ultrarunning lie ahead.

The direction may be reversed, but the demands remain immense.

Long days on the road.

Relentless daily mileage.

Constantly changing weather.

And the determination to wake up each morning and do it all again.

JOHN O'GROATS TO LANDS END – THE ULTIMATE NORTH-TO-SOUTH ADVENTURE!

🇮🇪 MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® – MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD

14 CONSECUTIVE DAYS – 612 MILES

And now, it's Ireland's turn!

Welcome to Mount to Coast MizMal®.

An extraordinary fourteen-day endurance adventure covering 612 miles from Mizen Head to Malin Head.

Beginning at the southwestern tip of Ireland, competitors make their way north along a route inspired by the Wild Atlantic cycling route.

Fourteen consecutive days.

Fourteen individual races.

Fourteen characters from Irish mythology and folklore.

And a spectacular finish at Malin Head, the northernmost point of mainland Ireland.

Where LEJOG and JOGLE challenge runners to conquer Great Britain, MizMal® invites them to discover the extraordinary landscapes, legends and character of Ireland.

SAME SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE. A WHOLE NEW COUNTRY TO CONQUER!

🏨 THE END TO END EXPERIENCE – MORE THAN JUST RUNNING!

Completing an end-to-end challenge requires far more than the ability to run long distances.

There's the daily logistics.

Accommodation.

Food.

Checkpoints.

Navigation.

Competitor support.

And the small matter of getting up each morning to run another ultramarathon!

That's where the experience of Ultra Running Ltd comes in.

Our multi-day challenges are designed to provide an organised and supported environment in which competitors can concentrate on the extraordinary task ahead.

For full-event competitors, accommodation, catering and race support form part of the package.

Our support team works throughout the event to help manage the practical demands of moving a group of runners across an entire country.

Because when you're covering hundreds of miles over consecutive days, the smallest details can make an enormous difference.

YOU PROVIDE THE DETERMINATION. WE PROVIDE THE SUPPORT!

👟 PROUDLY SUPPORTED BY MOUNT TO COAST!

The Mount to Coast End to End Challenge is proudly supported by our headline footwear sponsor, Mount to Coast.

Long-distance running places extraordinary demands on the body, particularly when those miles are repeated day after day.

Mount to Coast's focus on endurance footwear makes the brand a fitting partner for these exceptional challenges.

For our full MizMal® competitors, complimentary Mount to Coast footwear is included as part of the event package.

An appropriate partnership for a race where the miles are measured not in tens, but in hundreds!

💪 WHAT MAKES AN END TO END RUNNER?

Is it speed?

Strength?

Experience?

Perhaps.

But above all, we believe it's determination.

The ability to keep going when you're tired.

To remain focused when the finish seems impossibly far away.

To deal with the unexpected.

To recover overnight and face another challenge the following morning.

And to understand that completing an event of this magnitude is about far more than running.

It's about resilience.

Patience.

Commitment.

And the willingness to discover just how far your body and mind can take you.

There will be difficult moments.

Of that, there can be little doubt.

But those difficult moments are what make the achievement so extraordinary.

🏅 THE REWARDS OF AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY!

Every successful daily finish represents another milestone.

Another challenge conquered.

Another step towards the ultimate destination.

For MizMal® 2027, each of the fourteen stages has its own bespoke finisher's medal, celebrating a different character from Irish mythology.

Successfully complete the entire fourteen-day challenge and you'll also earn the prestigious overall MizMal® finisher's medal.

FOURTEEN DAILY MEDALS. ONE OVERALL MEDAL. FIFTEEN REMINDERS OF AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE!

But medals are only part of the story.

The friendships formed along the way.

The encouragement from fellow competitors.

The camaraderie of the support team.

The spectacular scenery.

And the unforgettable moment when you finally reach the end of the country.

Those are the memories that will last a lifetime.

🌊 FROM LAND'S END TO JOHN O'GROATS. FROM MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD.

The Mount to Coast End to End Challenge is about turning extraordinary ambitions into reality.

Whether your dream is to run the length of Great Britain or cross Ireland from its southwestern tip to its northernmost mainland point, the challenge is immense.

But so is the reward.

And for those who have already completed one of our end-to-end adventures?

Perhaps it's time to consider another.

HOW FAR WILL YOUR RUNNING TAKE YOU?

🧚 THE FOURTEEN MYTHS & LEGENDS OF MIZMAL®

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN LEGENDS. ONE EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY ACROSS IRELAND!

⚡ FROM THE MISCHIEVOUS POOKA TO THE ENCHANTING FAIRY QUEEN AIBELL!

Ireland is a land of extraordinary beauty, ancient traditions and captivating folklore.

For centuries, tales of mythical warriors, mischievous spirits, supernatural creatures and mysterious beings have been passed down through generations.

And for Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027, we've brought fourteen of these fascinating characters and symbols together to create something truly special.

FOURTEEN CONSECUTIVE RACES – EACH WITH ITS OWN IRISH MYTH OR LEGEND!

From the rugged Atlantic coastline of Mizen Head to the dramatic northern tip of Malin Head, every day introduces competitors to another chapter of Ireland's extraordinary folklore.

Each stage has its own identity.

Its own challenge.

Its own bespoke finisher's medal.

And its own part to play in the ultimate 612-mile adventure.

Let's meet the fourteen legends!

🐎 DAY 1 – MTC POOKA

Friday 7th May 2027 | 38 Miles

📍 Mizen Head to Glengarriff

THE MISCHIEVOUS SHAPE-SHIFTER!

Our extraordinary adventure begins at Mizen Head, one of Ireland's most iconic coastal landmarks.

And what better mythical companion for the opening stage than the mischievous Pooka?

A legendary shape-shifting creature from Irish folklore, the Pooka is known for its unpredictable nature and its ability to appear in various animal forms.

Sometimes helpful.

Sometimes troublesome.

And always full of surprises!

A fitting introduction to fourteen days of ultrarunning, where competitors will soon discover that no two days are ever quite the same.

THE JOURNEY BEGINS – LET THE LEGENDS LOOSE!

🍀 DAY 2 – MTC LEPRECHAUN

Saturday 8th May 2027 | 43 Miles

📍 Glengarriff to Killarney

CHASING THE GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW!

Day 2 introduces one of Ireland's most recognisable mythical characters.

The Leprechaun!

This mischievous little fellow is traditionally associated with hidden treasure, magical tricks and the legendary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

But for our MizMal® competitors, there's no need to search for buried treasure.

The real prize is waiting at the finish line in Killarney!

FORTY-THREE MILES OF IRISH MAGIC!

⚔️ DAY 3 – MTC MACHA

Sunday 9th May 2027 | 47.3 Miles

📍 Killarney to Ballybunion

THE LEGENDARY QUEEN OF SPEED AND POWER!

Macha is one of the most formidable figures in Irish mythology.

Associated with sovereignty, horses and extraordinary speed, she is remembered in a famous legend involving a remarkable race.

A fitting character for an ultramarathon!

Our competitors face 47.3 miles as they continue their journey north through County Kerry.

Speed may have been Macha's legendary gift, but endurance will be the quality our runners need most.

RUN WITH THE SPIRIT OF MACHA!

☘️ DAY 4 – MTC SHAMROCK

Monday 10th May 2027 | 50 Miles

📍 Ballybunion to Limerick

THE SYMBOL OF IRELAND!

Day 4 celebrates one of Ireland's most famous national symbols.

The Shamrock!

Traditionally associated with Ireland, good fortune and Saint Patrick, the humble three-leafed plant has become an enduring emblem of Irish identity.

But will a little Irish luck be enough to carry our competitors through 50 miles?

Perhaps.

Although we suspect determination, training and plenty of food will play a rather larger role!

FIFTY MILES – MAY THE LUCK OF THE IRISH BE WITH YOU!

👻 DAY 5 – MTC BANSHEE

Tuesday 11th May 2027 | 44 Miles

📍 Limerick to Dough, Miltown Malbay

BEWARE THE CRY OF THE BANSHEE!

The Banshee is one of Ireland's most haunting supernatural figures.

Traditionally associated with a mysterious cry or wail that foretells a death, she has inspired countless tales across Ireland.

But on Day 5, our competitors have something else to worry about.

Forty-four more miles!

With four consecutive ultras already completed, the physical demands of MizMal® will be becoming increasingly apparent.

DON'T FEAR THE BANSHEE – FEAR THE MILES STILL TO COME!

🐎 DAY 6 – MTC DULLAHAN

Wednesday 12th May 2027 | 46 Miles

📍 Dough to Ballyvaughan

THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN RIDES AGAIN!

One of Irish folklore's most terrifying characters, the Dullahan is a supernatural headless horseman associated with ominous journeys through the night.

A dark and dramatic figure for our sixth stage!

As competitors continue north through County Clare, they'll face another demanding 46-mile challenge.

Fortunately, our runners won't need a supernatural horse.

Just strong legs, determination and the will to keep moving!

KEEP YOUR HEAD – THE DULLAHAN IS COMING!

🪽 DAY 7 – MTC ENBARR

Thursday 13th May 2027 | 35.7 Miles

📍 Ballyvaughan to Galway

THE MAGICAL HORSE OF IRISH LEGEND!

Enbarr is a remarkable horse from Irish mythology, associated with the sea god Manannán mac Lir.

According to legend, this extraordinary creature could travel across both land and sea.

A rather useful talent for an adventure along Ireland's Atlantic coastline!

Day 7 takes our competitors from Ballyvaughan towards Galway.

And at the finish?

SEVEN CONSECUTIVE DAYS COMPLETED – THE HALFWAY MILESTONE!

🐉 DAY 8 – MTC OILLIPHÉIST

Friday 14th May 2027 | 58.2 Miles

📍 Galway to Clifden

FACE THE MONSTER!

The Oilliphéist is a fearsome serpent or dragon-like monster from Irish folklore, often associated with rivers, lakes and dramatic legends.

And we've given this formidable creature a suitably monstrous stage!

At 58.2 miles, Day 8 is the longest individual race of MizMal® 2027.

After seven consecutive days of ultrarunning, this promises to be a serious test of endurance.

ONE MONSTER OF A CHALLENGE!

💘 DAY 9 – MTC GANCANAGH

Saturday 15th May 2027 | 52.4 Miles

📍 Clifden to Westport

THE ENCHANTING FAIRY LOVER!

The Gancanagh is a mysterious fairy figure from Irish folklore, renowned for his irresistible charm and romantic enchantments.

But after eight consecutive ultramarathons, our competitors may be rather more interested in a comfortable bed than romance!

Day 9 delivers another substantial challenge.

52.4 miles through the beautiful landscapes of western Ireland.

LOVE MAY BE IN THE AIR – BUT THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF MILES TO RUN!

🧛 DAY 10 – MTC ABHARTACH

Sunday 16th May 2027 | 46.7 Miles

📍 Westport to Tobercurry

THE UNDEAD LEGEND!

Abhartach is a sinister figure from Irish folklore, associated with tales of an undead chieftain who returned from the grave.

A chilling character for Day 10!

By now, our competitors will have covered an extraordinary distance.

Tired legs, aching muscles and accumulated fatigue will all be part of the challenge.

But just like the legendary Abhartach, they'll need to keep coming back for more!

TEN DAYS OF ENDURANCE – THE LEGEND CONTINUES!

👁️ DAY 11 – MTC BALOR

Monday 17th May 2027 | 47 Miles

📍 Tobercurry to Bundoran

THE FEARSOME KING OF THE FOMORIANS!

Balor is one of the most powerful and terrifying figures in Irish mythology.

A mighty leader of the Fomorians, he is remembered for his devastating supernatural eye.

Our competitors will need to keep their own eyes firmly on the route as they tackle another 47 miles towards Bundoran.

After ten consecutive ultramarathons, every mile is now a test of resilience.

FACE BALOR. CONQUER THE CHALLENGE!

🔥 DAY 12 – MTC CARMAN

Tuesday 18th May 2027 | 38.3 Miles

📍 Bundoran to Ballybofey

THE FORMIDABLE SORCERESS!

Carman is a powerful female figure from Irish mythology, associated with sorcery and destructive magic.

A suitably dramatic character for Day 12!

As competitors make their way into County Donegal, the northernmost point of mainland Ireland is finally drawing closer.

The finish at Malin Head is no longer just a distant ambition.

It's becoming a reality.

TWELVE DAYS DOWN – THE END IS IN SIGHT!

🪨 DAY 13 – MTC BODACH

Wednesday 19th May 2027 | 37.4 Miles

📍 Ballybofey to Buncrana

THE MYSTERIOUS OLD MAN OF IRISH FOLKLORE!

The Bodach is a fascinating figure from Gaelic folklore, often portrayed as an old man or mysterious supernatural being.

Sometimes troublesome.

Sometimes frightening.

And occasionally rather wise!

A fitting companion for the penultimate day of MizMal®.

After thirteen consecutive races, our competitors will have gained a considerable amount of wisdom themselves.

Particularly about blisters, tired legs and the importance of a good night's sleep!

At Buncrana, they'll have just one more stage to complete.

THIRTEEN DAYS COMPLETED – ONE FINAL LEGEND AWAITS!

🧚 DAY 14 – MTC AIBELL

Thursday 20th May 2027 | 27.5 Miles

📍 Buncrana to Malin Head

THE FAIRY QUEEN – AND THE ULTIMATE FINISH LINE!

And finally, we meet Aibell.

The enchanting fairy queen of Irish mythology, associated with the supernatural world of the Aos Sí and a magical harp.

A beautiful and fitting character for the final chapter of our extraordinary journey.

Our competitors leave Buncrana and head towards Malin Head.

Just 27.5 miles remain.

Two final checkpoints.

One last challenge.

And then?

MALIN HEAD – THE NORTHERNMOST POINT OF MAINLAND IRELAND!

For those who have completed all fourteen stages, reaching Malin Head represents the culmination of an extraordinary endurance adventure.

Fourteen consecutive races.

612 miles across Ireland.

And one unforgettable achievement.

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

🏅 FOURTEEN LEGENDS. FOURTEEN MEDALS. ONE VERY SPECIAL EXTRA!

Every successful daily finish earns a bespoke medal celebrating that day's mythical character.

From the mischievous Pooka to the enchanting Aibell, each medal tells part of the story.

But for those who successfully complete the entire fourteen-day MizMal® adventure, there's one final reward.

THE PRESTIGIOUS OVERALL MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® FINISHER'S MEDAL!

14 DAILY FINISHER'S MEDALS + 1 OVERALL MIZMAL® MEDAL = 15 MEDALS!

A truly remarkable collection celebrating an extraordinary journey.

🇮🇪 THE LEGENDS ARE WAITING – WILL YOU JOIN THEM?

Every stage offers something different.

A new mythical character.

A new landscape.

A new challenge.

And another opportunity to discover just how far your determination can take you.

From Mizen Head on Friday 7th May to Malin Head on Thursday 20th May 2027, the adventure promises to be unlike anything you've experienced before.

FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN LEGENDS. 612 MILES.

⚡ MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® 2027 – BECOME PART OF THE LEGEND!

FROM MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – THE ULTIMATE IRISH ENDURANCE ADVENTURE!

🏃 RACE OVERVIEW – MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® 2027

⚡ MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!

Friday 7th May – Thursday 20th May 2027

There are running events that challenge you.

There are ultramarathons that push you beyond what you thought possible.

And then there is Mount to Coast MizMal®.

An extraordinary fourteen-day endurance adventure covering 612 miles across Ireland, from the spectacular southwestern coastline at Mizen Head to Malin Head, the northernmost point of mainland Ireland.

Fourteen consecutive days of running.

Fourteen individual races.

Fourteen characters from Irish mythology and folklore.

And one remarkable achievement waiting at the finish.

THIS ISN'T JUST AN ULTRAMARATHON – IT'S AN EXPEDITION ACROSS IRELAND!

📍 THE ROUTE – FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTH

Our journey begins at Mizen Head in County Cork on Friday 7th May 2027.

From there, competitors head north, following a route inspired by the Wild Atlantic cycling route through some of Ireland's most spectacular landscapes.

The adventure takes in the counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal.

Along the way, competitors will encounter dramatic coastlines, rolling countryside, traditional Irish towns and the ever-changing scenery of Ireland's Atlantic west.

Every day brings a new destination.

Every stage has its own identity.

And every finish line takes competitors one step closer to Malin Head.

On Thursday 20th May 2027, the fourteenth and final race, MTC Aibell, concludes this extraordinary adventure.

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – 612 MILES OF PURE DETERMINATION!

🏃 FOURTEEN INDIVIDUAL RACES – ONE COMPLETE CHALLENGE

MizMal® is divided into fourteen consecutive daily stages.

Each day is a separate race, complete with its own name, route, checkpoints and bespoke finisher's medal.

Every stage is inspired by a different character or symbol from Irish mythology and folklore.

From the mischievous Pooka on Day 1 to the enchanting fairy queen Aibell on Day 14, our competitors will experience fourteen unique challenges.

Full-event competitors must successfully complete all fourteen stages in accordance with the event rules to qualify as official MizMal® finishers.

FOURTEEN START LINES. FOURTEEN FINISH LINES. ONE ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT!

🏨 ACCOMMODATION – YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME

An event of this magnitude requires considerably more than simply organising a running route.

With fourteen consecutive days of ultrarunning ahead, proper rest and recovery are essential.

For competitors entering the complete MizMal® challenge, accommodation is included as part of the event package.

Our accommodation arrangements follow the daily start and finish locations established for the fourteen individual stages.

Each evening, competitors will have somewhere to rest, recover and prepare for the following day's challenge.

After spending much of the day on your feet, we're sure a comfortable bed will be a very welcome sight!

YOU CONCENTRATE ON THE RUNNING – WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE ACCOMMODATION!

🍽️ CATERING – KEEPING OUR WARRIORS FUELLED

Running hundreds of miles over fourteen consecutive days requires an enormous amount of energy.

And we're well aware that hungry ultrarunners are not always the happiest of creatures!

Full MizMal® competitors will benefit from catering arrangements included within the event package.

Food and refreshments will form an important part of the daily routine, helping competitors prepare for each stage and recover afterwards.

Supported checkpoints will also provide opportunities to replenish supplies along the routes.

Competitors should nevertheless carry sufficient personal food and fluids between checkpoints, together with any specialist nutrition they require.

FOURTEEN DAYS OF RUNNING – YOU'RE GOING TO NEED PLENTY OF FUEL!

💚 SUPPORTED CHECKPOINTS

Each daily race includes designated checkpoints along the route.

These provide opportunities to replenish food and fluids, check progress and receive assistance from the event support team.

Checkpoint locations and distances vary between stages and are detailed on the individual race webpages.

Competitors must visit the designated checkpoints in the correct order and comply with instructions from event officials.

MizMal® is a cup-free event, so every runner must carry their own reusable drinking vessel.

Please help us protect the beautiful Irish countryside by taking your litter with you.

🧭 GPS NAVIGATION – FOLLOW THE ADVENTURE!

Mount to Coast MizMal® is a GPS-navigation event.

Competitors must follow the official GPX route for each daily stage.

GPX files will be made available approximately four weeks before the event.

Every runner is responsible for ensuring they have suitable navigation equipment and understand how to use it.

A GPS watch, handheld navigation device or suitable smartphone application may be used.

We strongly recommend carrying a backup navigation option and ensuring all electronic equipment is sufficiently charged.

FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN ROUTES. ONE DESTINATION – MALIN HEAD!

📡 LIVE TRACKING – FOLLOW EVERY MILE!

Every competitor will be provided with a GPS tracking device.

This enables the event organisers to monitor progress and provides an additional level of safety.

It also allows friends, family and supporters to follow the adventure remotely.

Imagine watching your favourite runner make their way north through Ireland.

Day after day.

County after county.

Until finally, on Thursday 20th May, that little tracking marker reaches Malin Head.

What a moment!

Tracking devices include an SOS facility for genuine emergencies.

Full instructions and live tracking access details will be provided before the event.

⏱️ MINIMUM PACE – 4 MPH INCLUDING STOPS

MizMal® is a demanding endurance challenge, and competitors must be capable of maintaining the required daily pace.

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

Each daily stage has its own distance and corresponding cut-off times.

Competitors who fall below the minimum pace requirement may be withdrawn from the event.

However, Ultra Running Ltd reserves the right to exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances, taking into account the competitor's condition, safety, performance and ability to complete subsequent stages within the permitted times.

Any decision to allow a competitor to continue is entirely at the discretion of the Race Director and does not guarantee permission to continue on future stages.

COMPETITOR SAFETY WILL ALWAYS TAKE PRIORITY. THE RACE DIRECTOR'S DECISION IS FINAL.

💪 FOURTEEN DAYS OF ENDURANCE – ARE YOU READY?

Let's be clear.

MIZMAL® IS AN EXTREMELY DEMANDING EVENT.

Covering 612 miles over fourteen consecutive days requires exceptional physical preparation, mental resilience and a carefully considered approach to recovery.

Competitors should have significant ultramarathon experience and be accustomed to long periods on their feet.

But fitness alone won't be enough.

You'll need determination.

Patience.

Adaptability.

And the ability to get up each morning and face another demanding stage.

There will be difficult days.

There will be moments of doubt.

And there may be occasions when simply reaching the next checkpoint feels like a considerable achievement.

But that's what makes the challenge so extraordinary.

THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS ARE RARELY THE EASIEST!

👟 COMPLIMENTARY MOUNT TO COAST FOOTWEAR

We are delighted to have Mount to Coast as the headline sponsor of MizMal® 2027.

And for MizMal® 2027, we've created something very special.

But there's one more.

Successful full-event finishers will also receive the prestigious overall Mount to Coast MizMal® finisher's medal.

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

Bespoke trophies will also recognise the leading male and female competitors in the individual stages.

🎟️ LIMITED TO JUST 20 FULL-EVENT COMPETITORS

To maintain the personal nature of the challenge and provide an organised support structure, the complete MizMal® event is limited to 20 competitors.

This is not a mass-participation race.

It's an intimate endurance adventure, bringing together a small group of athletes with one extraordinary shared ambition.

TO RUN FROM MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD IN FOURTEEN DAYS!

Individual daily races are also available as separate entry options through their respective race webpages.

However, competitors wishing to undertake the complete fourteen-day challenge must enter through this main MizMal® webpage.

🇮🇪 THE ULTIMATE DESTINATION – MALIN HEAD!

On Friday 7th May 2027, our competitors will stand at Mizen Head and look ahead to an extraordinary journey.

Fourteen days later, on Thursday 20th May, those who successfully complete every stage will arrive at Malin Head.

There will be no more early morning starts.

No more daily checkpoints.

No more ultramarathons to run.

Just the knowledge that they've conquered one of the most extraordinary challenges of their running lives.

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS OF RUNNING – LET US TAKE CARE OF THE LOGISTICS!

⚡ YOU CONCENTRATE ON THE MILES. WE'LL CONCENTRATE ON THE REST!

Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027 | 7th – 20th May

Imagine running an ultramarathon.

Then waking up the following morning and doing it all again.

And again.

And again.

For fourteen consecutive days!

Welcome to the extraordinary world of Mount to Coast MizMal®.

Our 612-mile journey from Mizen Head to Malin Head is an enormous physical and mental undertaking.

But there's another challenge that comes with running across an entire country.

THE LOGISTICS!

Where are you going to sleep?

What are you going to eat?

Where does tomorrow's race start?

How do you get your belongings from one location to the next?

And who is going to look after you when your legs have decided they've had quite enough?

Fortunately, we've thought about these things!

For competitors undertaking the complete fourteen-day MizMal® challenge, accommodation, catering and organised race support are included as part of the event package.

Our aim is simple.

MAKE THE LOGISTICS AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS POSSIBLE, SO YOU CAN CONCENTRATE ON THE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGE AHEAD!

🛏️ ACCOMMODATION – A WELCOME SIGHT AFTER A LONG DAY!

After spending much of the day running, there's nothing quite like the prospect of a comfortable bed.

And during MizMal®, that feeling is likely to become more pronounced with every passing day!

Accommodation is included for competitors entering the complete fourteen-day event.

Accommodation is on a shared room basis, irrespective of sex. If you want a private room, this can be provide for an additional cost.

Our overnight arrangements follow the route and daily start and finish locations established across the fourteen individual stages.

From the opening days in West Cork and Kerry, through Clare, Galway, Mayo and Sligo, before the final stages in County Donegal, competitors will have organised accommodation as they make their way north.

Some days will be particularly demanding.

Others may feel a little easier.

But one thing is certain.

AFTER RUNNING AN ULTRAMARATHON, A GOOD NIGHT'S REST IS PRICELESS!

Final accommodation details and arrival instructions will be supplied to competitors before the event.

🗺️ FOURTEEN DAYS – FOURTEEN DESTINATIONS!

Our journey begins at Mizen Head and finishes at Malin Head, taking competitors through a succession of overnight destinations.

Day	Date	Race	Route
1	7 May	MTC Pooka	Mizen Head → Glengarriff
2	8 May	MTC Leprechaun	Glengarriff → Killarney
3	9 May	MTC Macha	Killarney → Ballybunion
4	10 May	MTC Shamrock	Ballybunion → Limerick
5	11 May	MTC Banshee	Limerick → Dough
6	12 May	MTC Dullahan	Dough → Ballyvaughan
7	13 May	MTC Enbarr	Ballyvaughan → Galway
8	14 May	MTC Oilliphéist	Galway → Clifden

14	20 May	MTC Aibell	Buncrana → Malin Head

The accommodation arrangements are coordinated with these daily destinations, although individual hotel locations and any necessary transfers will be confirmed in the competitor information.

FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN RACES. ONE CONTINUOUS JOURNEY NORTH!

🍽️ CATERING – FUEL FOR THE LONG ROAD AHEAD!

Running 612 miles requires an enormous amount of energy.

And we know from experience that ultrarunners can develop some rather impressive appetites!

For full MizMal® competitors, catering is included within the event package.

Food will play an essential role in helping athletes prepare for each day's challenge and recover afterwards.

Breakfast:

Where possible we do get a hot breakfast, but this isn't always possible, depending on where we are staying and how earlier the race has to start. If we can't do the hot option, we generally go for fruit, yogurts, porridge pots etc. Any special requests are also considered.

Evening meals:

Most evening meals are eaten out in the hotel or at restaurants. Alternatively competitors can choose for take-away options, pizza, fish and chips, chinese etc, where available. Nobody goes hungry.

Included is the evening meal only, we don't pay for starters or desserts or drinks - these are at the costs of the individual.

Over fourteen consecutive days, maintaining adequate energy intake and hydration will be extremely important.

Competitors should also bring any specialist sports nutrition, supplements or particular foods they rely upon during long-distance events.

We recommend using products you've already tested during training.

After all, fourteen days of ultrarunning is not the ideal opportunity to experiment with an entirely new diet!

EAT WELL. RECOVER WELL. PREPARE FOR TOMORROW!

💚 SUPPORTED CHECKPOINTS – A WELCOME SIGHT ON THE ROAD!

Every MizMal® stage features designated checkpoints along the route.

These provide opportunities to replenish food and fluids, check progress and receive support from the event team.

Checkpoint distances and locations vary from day to day.

Full details are provided on the fourteen individual race webpages.

Our checkpoint teams will be an important part of the MizMal® experience.

After several hours on the road, seeing a familiar face at the next checkpoint can provide an enormous psychological boost.

A few words of encouragement.

Something to eat.

A refill of water.

And perhaps a reminder that the finish line is getting closer!

SOMETIMES THE SMALLEST THINGS MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE!

🥤 MIZMAL® IS A CUP-FREE EVENT!

In keeping with our commitment to reducing unnecessary waste, MizMal® is a cup-free event.

All competitors must carry a reusable drinking vessel.

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

Disposable drinking cups will not be supplied at checkpoints.

We also ask competitors to carry their litter to an appropriate disposal point and respect the beautiful Irish countryside throughout the journey.

LET'S LEAVE IRELAND JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS WE FOUND IT!

🚐 DAILY LOGISTICS & COMPETITOR SUPPORT

Moving a group of ultrarunners across Ireland for fourteen consecutive days requires careful planning.

Our event support team will coordinate the daily race arrangements, checkpoints and practical logistics associated with the journey.

Competitors will receive information concerning each day's start location, route, checkpoints, finish location and relevant accommodation arrangements.

The aim is to establish a manageable daily routine.

Get up.

Prepare for the day's challenge.

Run.

Finish.

Eat.

Recover.

Sleep.

And do it all again!

Of course, the reality may involve a few more aches and pains than that simple description suggests.

But that's all part of the adventure!

WE'LL ORGANISE THE EVENT – YOU PROVIDE THE DETERMINATION!

🧭 NAVIGATION – KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING!

MizMal® is a GPS-navigation event.

Competitors must follow the official GPX route for each stage.

Route files will be supplied approximately four weeks before the event.

Every competitor must have suitable navigation equipment and understand how to use it.

A GPS watch, handheld device or compatible smartphone navigation application may be used.

We strongly recommend carrying a backup navigation option and ensuring electronic devices remain sufficiently charged.

Remember, the route passes through public areas and roads that remain open to other users.

FOLLOW THE GPX. STAY ALERT. RUN SAFELY!

📡 GPS TRACKING – FOLLOW THE ADVENTURE!

Every competitor will be provided with a GPS tracking device.

This allows the organisers to monitor progress and gives friends and family the opportunity to follow the adventure remotely.

From the opening miles at Mizen Head to the final approach to Malin Head, supporters will be able to share in the excitement.

And what a journey they'll be following!

Fourteen days.

Hundreds of miles.

One extraordinary goal.

GPS tracking devices also include an SOS facility for genuine emergencies.

Instructions will be provided before the event.

⏱️ DAILY CUT-OFFS – KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

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

Each daily stage has its own distance and corresponding cut-off times.

Competitors who fall below the required pace may be withdrawn from the event.

However, Ultra Running Ltd reserves the right to exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances, taking into account competitor safety, condition, performance and the ability to complete subsequent stages.

Any decision to allow a competitor to continue rests with the Race Director.

COMPETITOR SAFETY WILL ALWAYS TAKE PRIORITY!

👟 MOUNT TO COAST – SUPPORTING EVERY STEP!

We are delighted to have Mount to Coast as the headline sponsor of MizMal® 2027.

Full fourteen-day competitors will receive complimentary Mount to Coast footwear as part of their event package.

With 612 miles to cover, footwear will certainly be an important part of the adventure!

Competitors will also receive Ultra Running high-visibility technical running shirts and a personalised high-visibility jacket featuring their name, the event and the year.

🤝 THE MIZMAL® FAMILY – MORE THAN JUST A RACE!

One of the most memorable aspects of a multi-day endurance event is the camaraderie.

Over fourteen days, competitors will share extraordinary experiences.

There will be difficult moments.

There will be laughter.

There will be encouragement.

And there will undoubtedly be plenty of stories to tell!

Our full MizMal® field is limited to just 20 competitors.

This creates an opportunity for a close-knit group of athletes to support one another throughout the journey.

By the time Malin Head comes into view, we suspect a few lifelong friendships may have been formed.

Because sometimes, the people you meet along the way become just as important as the destination.

🌊 THE FINAL NIGHT – AND THE ULTIMATE FINISH!

On Thursday 20th May 2027, our competitors will tackle the fourteenth and final stage.

MTC AIBELL – 27.5 MILES FROM BUNCRANA TO MALIN HEAD!

After thirteen consecutive ultramarathons, this is the moment everyone has been working towards.

The final checkpoint.

The final miles.

And then, at last, Malin Head.

For successful full-event finishers, the prestigious overall MizMal® medal will be waiting.

Fourteen days of extraordinary endurance will finally have reached their conclusion.

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

🧚 FOURTEEN MYTHS & LEGENDS – FOURTEEN UNIQUE MEDALS!

Ireland has a rich history of myths, legends and extraordinary supernatural characters.

And we've used that fascinating heritage to inspire the fourteen daily races of MizMal® 2027.

Each successful daily finish earns a bespoke medal celebrating that day's mythical character.

And then there's the big one!

The medal that represents the complete journey.

The medal that celebrates fourteen consecutive days of extraordinary endurance.

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

🏆 BESPOKE TROPHIES – RECOGNISING OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES!

Of course, medals aren't the only awards available during MizMal®.

Our individual daily races will also feature bespoke trophies recognising the leading male and female competitors.

Every day offers another opportunity for an outstanding performance.

From the opening challenge of MTC Pooka to the final miles of MTC Aibell, competitors will be competing not only against the course and the clock, but also for the honour of a daily race victory.

And with fourteen consecutive races, there will be plenty of opportunities for memorable performances!

FOURTEEN DAYS OF COMPETITION – FOURTEEN OPPORTUNITIES TO SHINE!

💪 EVERY MEDAL MUST BE EARNED!

MizMal® is not a challenge where medals are awarded simply for turning up.

Each daily medal must be earned by successfully completing that stage in accordance with the event rules.

Competitors must follow the official route, visit the required checkpoints and comply with the applicable race requirements.

The minimum overall average speed is 4 mph, including checkpoint stops, subject to the event's withdrawal policy and the Race Director's discretion in exceptional circumstances.

For full MizMal® competitors, successful completion of all fourteen stages is required to qualify for the overall MizMal® finisher's medal.

FOURTEEN START LINES. FOURTEEN FINISH LINES. FOURTEEN MEDALS EARNED!

🎟️ ONE DAY OR ALL FOURTEEN – THERE'S BLING FOR EVERY FINISHER!

Although this main webpage is the entry point for the complete fourteen-day MizMal® challenge, individual daily races are also available.

Perhaps you'd like to tackle the mischievous Pooka.

Or face the fearsome Oilliphéist.

Maybe the magical Aibell at Malin Head is calling your name!

Whatever your chosen stage, successful completion earns that day's bespoke finisher's medal.

However, the overall MizMal® medal is reserved exclusively for competitors who successfully complete the entire fourteen-day challenge.

ONE DAY EARNS ONE LEGEND. FOURTEEN DAYS EARNS THE COMPLETE STORY!

🧚 A COLLECTION INSPIRED BY IRELAND'S EXTRAORDINARY HERITAGE!

What makes the MizMal® medals particularly special is the story behind them.

Each design celebrates a character or symbol from Ireland's remarkable folklore.

Some are mischievous.

Some are magical.

Some are terrifying!

And others are associated with courage, power or mystery.

Together, they form a collection that reflects the character and spirit of this extraordinary country.

But there's another story behind every medal.

YOUR STORY!

The miles you ran.

The weather you encountered.

The hills you climbed.

The difficult moments you overcame.

And the satisfaction of reaching another finish line.

🇮🇪 IMAGINE THE COMPLETE COLLECTION!

Picture the scene.

It's Thursday 20th May 2027.

You've just completed MTC Aibell, the fourteenth and final stage.

You've arrived at Malin Head, the northernmost point of mainland Ireland.

Fourteen days ago, you began your journey at Mizen Head.

Now, after 612 miles, you've reached your destination.

And waiting for you?

Your final daily medal.

Your prestigious overall MizMal® medal.

And the knowledge that you've achieved something truly extraordinary.

FIFTEEN MEDALS. ONE UNFORGETTABLE ADVENTURE.

There may be tears.

There will almost certainly be smiles.

And we suspect there will be some very tired legs!

But above all, there will be an enormous sense of pride.

Because this isn't simply a collection of medals.

It's a record of an extraordinary journey across Ireland.

🌟 THE GREATEST REWARD ISN'T MADE OF METAL!

As much as we love our bling, we know that the greatest reward of completing MizMal® cannot be hung around your neck.

It's the friendships forged along the way.

The support of fellow competitors.

Our extraordinary journey begins at Mizen Head, one of Ireland's most iconic coastal landmarks.

The opening four days take competitors through West Cork and County Kerry before reaching Limerick.

Along the way, they'll encounter the mischievous Pooka, the legendary Leprechaun, the formidable Macha and the iconic Shamrock.

Four consecutive days of running.

Four different challenges.

And the first major miles of an extraordinary adventure.

For many competitors, these opening stages will be about establishing a sustainable routine.

Run.

Refuel.

Recover.

Sleep.

And prepare to do it all again!

THE FIRST FOUR LEGENDS ARE WAITING!

👻 DAYS 5–7 – INTO THE HEART OF THE WEST

FROM LIMERICK TO GALWAY

The next three stages introduce competitors to the mysterious Banshee, the terrifying Dullahan and the magical horse Enbarr.

The journey continues through County Clare, passing towards the distinctive landscapes of the Burren before reaching Galway.

By the end of Day 7, competitors will have completed seven consecutive races.

HALFWAY THROUGH THE FOURTEEN-DAY ADVENTURE!

The physical demands will undoubtedly be increasing.

Seven days completed.

Seven legendary medals earned.

HALFWAY THERE – BUT THE ADVENTURE IS FAR FROM OVER!

🐉 DAYS 8–11 – THE MONSTERS AWAIT!

FROM GALWAY TO BUNDORAN

The second half of MizMal® begins with a monster!

Day 8 introduces the fearsome Oilliphéist, a legendary serpent from Irish folklore.

And at 58.2 miles, this is the longest individual stage of the 2027 event.

From Galway, competitors head towards Clifden before continuing north through Westport, Tobercurry and Bundoran over the following days.

Along the way, they'll encounter the enchanting Gancanagh, the undead Abhartach and the fearsome Balor.

Four extraordinary legends.

Imagine standing at Mizen Head on Friday 7th May 2027.

Ahead of you lie fourteen consecutive days of ultrarunning, taking you through some of Ireland's most spectacular countryside.

From the rugged coastline of West Cork to the magnificent landscapes of Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal.

And finally, on Thursday 20th May, the ultimate destination.

MALIN HEAD – THE NORTHERNMOST POINT OF MAINLAND IRELAND!

But with 612 miles to cover, there's one thing every competitor needs to know.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

Fortunately, we've got that covered!

Mount to Coast MizMal® is a GPS-navigation event, with official GPX routes provided for all fourteen daily stages.

And thanks to our live GPS tracking system, friends and family can follow the adventure from wherever they happen to be.

FOURTEEN ROUTES. FOURTEEN DAYS. ONE EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY NORTH!

🗺️ OFFICIAL GPX ROUTES – YOUR GUIDE ACROSS IRELAND!

Every MizMal® stage has its own official GPX route.

These files provide the navigation information required to follow the designated course from each day's start to its finish.

Competitors must follow the official route and visit all designated checkpoints in the correct order.

The GPX files will be made available approximately four weeks before the event.

This gives competitors an opportunity to download the routes, familiarise themselves with the course and ensure their navigation equipment is working correctly.

We strongly recommend checking every file before arriving in Ireland.

After all, discovering that your GPS device won't recognise a route is considerably easier to resolve at home than halfway through an ultramarathon!

DOWNLOAD. CHECK. PREPARE. RUN!

⌚ YOUR NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT

Competitors must carry suitable GPS navigation equipment throughout each stage.

Depending on personal preference, this may include:

• ⌚ A GPS running watch capable of displaying and following GPX routes.
• 🧭 A dedicated handheld GPS navigation device.
• 📱 A smartphone with a suitable GPX navigation application.
• 🔋 A backup power supply for electronic equipment.
• 🗺️ A secondary navigation method in case your primary device fails.

Whichever system you choose, it's essential that you're comfortable using it.

We strongly recommend practising with your chosen equipment during training.

Make sure you know how to load a GPX file, follow the route, identify when you've deviated from it and navigate back safely.

YOUR NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF YOUR RACE KIT!

🔋 FOURTEEN DAYS – KEEP YOUR EQUIPMENT CHARGED!

With fourteen consecutive stages, maintaining your electronic equipment will become part of the daily routine.

Charge your GPS watch.

Charge your phone.

Check your backup battery.

Make sure tomorrow's route is loaded.

And remember that long days of continuous GPS use can consume considerable battery power.

Cold weather, poor signal reception and screen brightness can also affect battery life.

We recommend carrying sufficient backup power for your expected time on the course.

DON'T LET A FLAT BATTERY INTERRUPT YOUR IRISH ADVENTURE!

📡 LIVE GPS TRACKING – FOLLOW OUR WARRIORS!

One of the most exciting features of MizMal® is the opportunity for friends, family and supporters to follow the competitors throughout their extraordinary journey.

Every competitor will be provided with a GPS tracking device.

This allows the event organisers to monitor progress along the route and provides supporters with an opportunity to follow the action remotely.

Imagine watching your favourite runner make their way through Ireland.

Day 1 – leaving Mizen Head.

Day 4 – arriving in Limerick.

Day 7 – reaching Galway.

Day 11 – heading towards Bundoran.

And finally, Day 14 – approaching Malin Head!

FROM THE FIRST MILE TO THE FINAL FINISH LINE – FOLLOW THE ADVENTURE!

🌍 SUPPORTERS – YOU CAN BE PART OF THE JOURNEY TOO!

You don't have to be standing beside a checkpoint to share in the excitement.

Our live tracking facility allows supporters to follow competitors' progress throughout the event.

Whether you're watching from Ireland, the United Kingdom or somewhere on the other side of the world, you'll be able to share in this remarkable adventure.

Keep an eye on the tracking information.

Send your favourite runner some encouragement.

And celebrate as they complete another stage.

The tracking access details will be published before the event.

Please remember that GPS tracking information can occasionally be delayed or interrupted by signal availability and other technical factors.

A stationary or delayed tracking marker does not necessarily indicate that a competitor has stopped.

FOURTEEN DAYS OF ENDURANCE – AND YOU CAN FOLLOW EVERY STAGE!

🆘 SOS FACILITY – SAFETY COMES FIRST!

Every competitor's GPS tracking device includes an SOS facility for genuine emergencies.

This provides an additional means of raising an alert when urgent assistance is required.

Competitors will receive instructions on how to use the device before the event.

The SOS function must only be activated in a genuine emergency.

GPS tracking is an important additional safety measure, but it does not replace personal responsibility, suitable equipment or sensible decision-making.

Competitors must remain aware of their surroundings, follow instructions from event officials and take appropriate action if they become unwell, injured or unable to continue safely.

YOUR SAFETY IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR FINISH TIME!

💚 CHECKPOINTS – STAY ON COURSE!

Each daily race includes designated checkpoints.

These are an essential part of the route and provide opportunities to replenish food and fluids, monitor progress and receive support.

Competitors must visit the checkpoints in the correct order.

Checkpoint locations and distances are detailed on the individual daily race webpages.

The official GPX route should be followed between checkpoints.

Taking shortcuts or deliberately deviating from the designated course is not permitted.

If you accidentally leave the route, you must return safely to the point where you departed from it before continuing.

FOLLOW THE ROUTE. VISIT THE CHECKPOINTS. EARN YOUR FINISH!

🚗 OPEN ROADS – STAY ALERT!

The MizMal® route uses public roads and shared spaces.

ROADS ARE NOT CLOSED FOR THE EVENT.

Competitors must obey Irish road traffic laws and take particular care when crossing roads, negotiating junctions or running through populated areas.

Please remain alert to vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and other road users.

Where appropriate, use designated crossings and follow the instructions of event officials.

High-visibility clothing and suitable lighting may be required depending on conditions and the time of day.

Never assume that another road user has seen you.

And remember, even after several exhausting days of ultrarunning, safety must remain your priority.

RUN SMART. STAY VISIBLE. STAY SAFE!

⏱️ TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS – FOUR MILES PER HOUR!

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

This requirement applies throughout the fourteen-day challenge.

GPS tracking and checkpoint records may be used by the organisers to monitor competitor progress.

If a competitor falls below the required pace, they may be withdrawn from the event.

Ultra Running Ltd reserves the right to exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances, taking account of the competitor's condition, safety, performance and ability to complete subsequent stages.

Any decision to allow a competitor to continue rests entirely with the Race Director.

COMPETITOR SAFETY WILL ALWAYS TAKE PRIORITY. THE RACE DIRECTOR'S DECISION IS FINAL.

🏃 NAVIGATION IS PART OF THE CHALLENGE!

MizMal® is not simply about running long distances.

It's about preparing properly.

Managing your energy.

Making sensible decisions.

And navigating your way through fourteen consecutive stages.

There may be moments when the weather changes.

When you're tired.

When the next checkpoint seems a very long way away.

Or when you need to stop and check your route.

That's all part of the challenge.

Take your time when necessary.

Check your navigation.

Stay safe.

And keep moving towards Malin Head.

THE GREATEST ADVENTURES REQUIRE MORE THAN STRONG LEGS!

🌊 THE FINAL TRACKING MARKER – MALIN HEAD!

Picture Thursday 20th May 2027.

After thirteen completed stages, the remaining competitors begin the final race.

MTC AIBELL – BUNCRANA TO MALIN HEAD!

Just 27.5 miles separate them from their ultimate destination.

Friends and family are watching the tracking.

The final checkpoints are approaching.

The miles are disappearing.

And then, at last, the tracking marker reaches Malin Head.

The northernmost point of mainland Ireland.

The end of fourteen extraordinary days.

The completion of a remarkable endurance adventure.

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

🏁 NAVIGATION & TRACKING – AT A GLANCE

MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® 2027 – FOURTEEN DAYS, 612 MILES AND ONE EXTRAORDINARY DESTINATION!

 

⏱️ CUT-OFF TIMES – MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® 2027

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. 612 MILES. THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

⚡ KEEP MOVING FORWARD – MALIN HEAD IS WAITING!

Fourteen consecutive days of ultrarunning.

612 miles across Ireland.

Fourteen individual races inspired by Irish mythology and folklore.

And one extraordinary destination.

MALIN HEAD!

Mount to Coast MizMal® is an exceptional endurance challenge.

It demands physical fitness, mental resilience, careful preparation and the ability to keep moving day after day.

But there's another important consideration.

TIME!

Every daily stage has a maximum permitted completion time, calculated using the event's minimum average speed requirement.

And that requirement is:

🏃 MINIMUM AVERAGE SPEED – 4 MPH

All competitors participating in the full fourteen-day Mount to Coast MizMal® must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 miles per hour.

THIS INCLUDES ALL CHECKPOINT STOPS!

That's an important distinction.

The minimum speed is not simply your average moving pace.

It includes the time spent stopping to eat, refill water, change clothing, deal with equipment or take a break.

For example, if you cover 20 miles in five hours, including all stops, your overall average speed is 4 mph.

But if you spend an additional 30 minutes at checkpoints, your overall average drops below the required minimum.

So, while there's certainly time to refuel and take care of yourself, competitors must manage their stops carefully.

KEEP THE LEGS MOVING AND THE CLOCK IN MIND!

⏰ HOW ARE THE CUT-OFF TIMES CALCULATED?

The calculation is straightforward.

Maximum permitted time = Race distance ÷ 4 mph

For example:

• 40 miles: 10 hours.
• 44 miles: 11 hours.
• 48 miles: 12 hours.
• 52 miles: 13 hours.
• 56 miles: 14 hours.

These times include checkpoint stops and any other time spent on the course.

The individual daily races also have designated checkpoint cut-offs, allowing organisers to monitor competitors' progress throughout each stage.

Official cut-off times will be confirmed in the individual race instructions.

🗺️ FOURTEEN DAILY STAGES – INDICATIVE FINISH CUT-OFFS

The following table illustrates the maximum elapsed time for each stage using its currently published distance and the minimum overall average speed of 4 mph.

These are indicative calculations, not a replacement for the official race-day checkpoint and finish cut-offs.

Day	Race	Distance	Indicative Maximum Time
1	MTC Pooka	38 miles	9 hr 30 min
2	MTC Leprechaun	43 miles	10 hr 45 min
3	MTC Macha	47.3 miles	11 hr 49 min
4	MTC Shamrock	50 miles	12 hr 30 min
5	MTC Banshee	44 miles	11 hr
6	MTC Dullahan	46 miles	11 hr 30 min
7	MTC Enbarr	35.7 miles	8 hr 56 min
8	MTC Oilliphéist	58.2 miles	14 hr 33 min
9	MTC Gancanagh	52.4 miles	13 hr 06 min
10	MTC Abhartach	46.7 miles	11 hr 41 min
11	MTC Balor	47 miles	11 hr 45 min
12	MTC Carman	38.3 miles	9 hr 34 min
13	MTC Bodach	37.4 miles	9 hr 21 min
14	MTC Aibell	27.5 miles	6 hr 53 min

Times are rounded to the nearest minute. Final official cut-offs will be determined by the confirmed GPX distances and published race instructions.

💚 CHECKPOINT CUT-OFFS – DON'T LEAVE IT TOO LATE!

Each daily stage includes designated checkpoints.

These are essential for replenishing food and fluids, monitoring progress and ensuring that competitors remain on course.

Checkpoint cut-offs are designed to help runners maintain the required overall pace.

Competitors must reach checkpoints within the permitted times.

Arriving late may result in withdrawal from that day's race.

Remember, spending too long at one checkpoint can make it extremely difficult to reach the next within the required time.

A few minutes here and there can quickly add up.

REFUEL EFFICIENTLY. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF. KEEP MOVING!

🏃 THE CHALLENGE OF FOURTEEN CONSECUTIVE DAYS

Maintaining an average speed of 4 mph over one ultramarathon is one thing.

Doing it for fourteen consecutive days is an entirely different challenge.

As the event progresses, competitors may experience increasing fatigue, muscle soreness and the cumulative effects of spending many hours on their feet.

Recovery becomes critical.

So does nutrition.

Hydration.

Sleep.

And sensible pacing.

A runner who starts too quickly during the opening stages may pay for that effort later in the event.

MizMal® is not simply about how fast you can run on Day 1.

It's about how effectively you can manage your effort across the entire fourteen-day adventure.

THE GOAL ISN'T JUST TO START STRONG – IT'S TO REACH MALIN HEAD!

⚠️ WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FALL BELOW THE MINIMUM PACE?

Competitors who fall below the required minimum average speed may be withdrawn from the event.

However, we recognise that ultrarunning is not always predictable.

Unexpected difficulties can arise.

A competitor may experience a temporary problem, lose time dealing with an issue or encounter exceptional circumstances affecting their progress.

For this reason, Ultra Running Ltd retains the right to exercise discretion.

⚖️ RACE DIRECTOR'S DISCRETION

All competitors participating in the full fourteen-day Mount to Coast MizMal® must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including checkpoint stops.

Competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn from the event.

However, Ultra Running Ltd reserves the right to exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances, taking into account the competitor's condition, safety, performance and ability to complete subsequent stages within the permitted times.

Any decision to allow a competitor to continue is entirely at the discretion of the Race Director and does not guarantee permission to continue on future stages.

COMPETITOR SAFETY WILL ALWAYS TAKE PRIORITY.

THE RACE DIRECTOR'S DECISION IS FINAL.

🆘 SAFETY BEFORE SPEED!

We want every competitor to enjoy their MizMal® experience.

And, of course, we'd love to see everyone reach Malin Head.

But no medal, trophy or finishing time is worth compromising your health or safety.

If you're injured, unwell or unable to continue safely, you must inform the event team.

The Race Director may withdraw a competitor where there are concerns about their condition or ability to continue safely, regardless of whether they are currently within the permitted time.

Please follow the instructions of race officials and checkpoint personnel.

THERE'S COURAGE IN PUSHING YOUR LIMITS – AND WISDOM IN KNOWING WHEN TO STOP!

🏅 FOURTEEN SUCCESSFUL FINISHES – THE ULTIMATE GOAL!

Every successfully completed daily race earns its own bespoke finisher's medal.

But for competitors taking on the complete MizMal® challenge, the ultimate objective is to finish all fourteen stages in accordance with the event rules.

Only successful full-event finishers qualify for the prestigious overall Mount to Coast MizMal® medal.

That means fourteen separate challenges.

Fourteen sets of checkpoints.

Fourteen finish lines.

And fourteen opportunities to demonstrate extraordinary determination.

FOURTEEN DAYS. FOURTEEN FINISHES. ONE LEGENDARY ACHIEVEMENT!

🌊 THE FINAL CUT-OFF – MALIN HEAD!

Imagine reaching Thursday 20th May 2027.

Thirteen consecutive ultramarathons completed.

Thirteen legendary medals earned.

And just one final challenge remaining.

MTC AIBELL – 27.5 MILES FROM BUNCRANA TO MALIN HEAD!

The finish is finally within reach.

Every mile brings you closer.

Every checkpoint is another milestone.

And then, at last, Malin Head appears.

The end of an extraordinary journey.

The completion of fourteen consecutive days of ultrarunning.

And the chance to receive that prestigious fifteenth medal.

MIZEN HEAD TO MALIN HEAD – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

🏁 CUT-OFF TIMES – AT A GLANCE

⏱️ Minimum Overall Average Speed: 4 mph.

MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® 2027 – KEEP MOVING FORWARD. KEEP BELIEVING. MALIN HEAD IS WAITING!

🍌 CHECKPOINT FOOD & REFRESHMENTS – MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® 2027

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. 612 MILES. AN AWFUL LOT OF HUNGRY ULTRARUNNERS!

⚡ KEEPING OUR MIZMAL® WARRIORS FUELLED!

Running an ultramarathon is hungry work.

Running fourteen consecutive ultramarathons?

Well, that's an entirely different matter!

Welcome to the world of Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027, where competitors will tackle an extraordinary 612-mile journey from Mizen Head to Malin Head.

Fourteen days of running.

Fourteen legendary races.

And a considerable amount of energy required to reach the finish!

Fortunately, food and refreshments are an important part of our event support arrangements.

Throughout the journey, competitors will encounter designated checkpoints where they can replenish supplies, take a short break and prepare for the next section of their daily adventure.

Because when you're running across Ireland, sometimes the most welcome sight in the world is a checkpoint!

KEEP EATING. KEEP DRINKING. KEEP MOVING TOWARDS MALIN HEAD!

💚 CHECKPOINTS – YOUR REFUELLING STATIONS!

Each of the fourteen MizMal® stages features designated checkpoints along the route.

These provide opportunities for competitors to replenish food and fluids, check their progress and receive support from the event team.

The number and location of checkpoints vary according to the distance and nature of each daily stage.

Checkpoint information is provided on the individual race webpages, including the distances between locations.

We strongly recommend studying this information before each day's race.

Knowing how far you have to travel between checkpoints will help you plan your hydration, nutrition and overall race strategy.

THE NEXT CHECKPOINT IS ALWAYS A WELCOME MILESTONE!

🍫 FOOD – FUEL FOR THE NEXT FEW MILES!

Ultrarunners have an extraordinary ability to consume food.

And after several hours on the road, even the simplest snack can taste absolutely magnificent!

Our supported checkpoints will provide food and refreshments to help competitors maintain their energy levels throughout each stage.

The exact selection may vary depending on the checkpoint and available supplies.

Competitors should not rely exclusively on checkpoint provisions to meet all their nutritional requirements.

Instead, we recommend carrying enough personal nutrition to travel comfortably between checkpoints, allowing for unexpected delays or changing conditions.

Whether you prefer energy gels, bars, sandwiches or other familiar running foods, make sure you have what works best for you.

YOUR FAVOURITE RACE FUEL COULD BE YOUR BEST FRIEND ON DAY TEN!

💧 HYDRATION – DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE THIRSTY!

Maintaining adequate hydration is essential during any endurance event.

And over fourteen consecutive days, it's particularly important.

Competitors should begin each stage carrying sufficient fluids for the distance to the next checkpoint.

Remember that your requirements may vary depending on the weather, terrain, pace and personal needs.

Even in Ireland, conditions can change considerably throughout the day.

One moment you may be enjoying cool, refreshing Atlantic air.

The next, you could be running in warm sunshine.

Or perhaps experiencing one of Ireland's famous rain showers!

Whatever the weather, plan your hydration carefully.

DRINK SENSIBLY. REFILL WHEN NECESSARY. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF!

🥤 MIZMAL® IS A CUP-FREE EVENT!

In keeping with our commitment to reducing unnecessary waste, Mount to Coast MizMal® is a cup-free event.

DISPOSABLE DRINKING CUPS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED AT CHECKPOINTS.

Every competitor must carry a reusable drinking vessel.

Suitable options include:

• A collapsible reusable cup.
• A water bottle.
• A hydration flask.
• A hydration pack.

Please ensure your chosen equipment is practical and easy to use.

And remember to carry it throughout each daily stage!

NO CUP? NO PROBLEM – AS LONG AS YOU'VE BROUGHT YOUR OWN!

🍽️ FOURTEEN DAYS OF RUNNING – FOURTEEN DAYS OF RECOVERY!

For competitors undertaking the complete MizMal® challenge, nutrition doesn't stop when the daily race finishes.

In fact, that's when preparing for tomorrow begins!

Full-event competitors benefit from catering arrangements included within their entry package.

Eating adequately after each stage is an important part of recovering from the day's effort and preparing for the next challenge.

With fourteen consecutive days of ultrarunning, competitors will need to pay particular attention to their overall energy intake.

This is not the time to neglect your meals!

EAT. RECOVER. SLEEP. REPEAT!

⚡ CHECKPOINT STOPS – REMEMBER THE CLOCK!

Our checkpoints provide valuable opportunities to refuel, replenish supplies and take care of yourself.

But competitors must remember that MizMal® has a minimum overall average speed requirement of 4 mph, including checkpoint stops.

That means every minute spent at a checkpoint counts towards your daily elapsed time.

There's nothing wrong with taking a sensible break.

But spending too long sitting down could make it difficult to reach the next checkpoint or finish within the permitted time.

A little organisation can make a big difference.

Have your bottles ready.

Know what you need.

Refuel efficiently.

And continue when you're ready.

ENJOY THE CHECKPOINT – BUT DON'T FORGET THERE'S ANOTHER FINISH LINE WAITING!

🎒 PERSONAL NUTRITION – BRING WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!

Every runner is different.

Some prefer sweet foods.

Others crave something savoury.

Some rely on energy gels.

Others would happily never see another gel again!

Over fourteen consecutive days, those preferences may change.

That's why we strongly recommend bringing your own preferred race nutrition.

If you have particular dietary requirements, food intolerances or specialist nutritional needs, please contact the organisers before the event to discuss the available arrangements.

Competitors remain responsible for carrying any specialist products they require.

And remember:

RACE DAY IS NOT THE TIME TO EXPERIMENT WITH SOMETHING NEW!

Use your training to establish what works best for you.

🌦️ PREPARE FOR IRELAND'S CHANGING WEATHER!

One of the joys of running through Ireland is its magnificent variety of landscapes.

But the weather can be just as varied!

Competitors should be prepared for changing conditions throughout each daily stage.

Cool mornings.

Atlantic winds.

Rain showers.

And potentially warm afternoons.

Weather conditions can influence hydration needs, appetite and the amount of food and fluid required between checkpoints.

Check the forecast, carry suitable equipment and adjust your preparations accordingly.

FOURTEEN DAYS IN IRELAND – EXPECT A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING!

♻️ HELP US PROTECT THE IRISH COUNTRYSIDE!

Our route passes through some of Ireland's most beautiful landscapes.

We want to ensure they remain that way.

Please dispose of litter responsibly.

Carry used gel wrappers, food packaging and other waste until you reach an appropriate disposal point.

Do not leave rubbish along the route.

And please respect the communities, countryside and natural environments through which we travel.

TAKE MEMORIES. LEAVE FOOTPRINTS. NOT LITTER!

🤝 OUR CHECKPOINT TEAM – A FRIENDLY FACE WHEN YOU NEED ONE!

After several hours of running, reaching a checkpoint can provide more than just an opportunity to eat and drink.

It can be an enormous psychological boost.

A familiar face.

A few words of encouragement.

A chance to take stock of your progress.

And the reassurance that another section of the route is behind you.

Over fourteen consecutive days, these little moments can become an important part of the MizMal® experience.

Our checkpoint team will be there to support the event and help competitors continue their journey safely.

Please treat all volunteers and event personnel with courtesy and respect.

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT CAN GO A VERY LONG WAY!

🆘 IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING – PLEASE TELL US!

MizMal® is an extremely demanding event.

There may be occasions when competitors experience fatigue, dehydration, illness or other difficulties.

If you're feeling unwell or believe you may be unable to continue safely, please inform the event team.

Do not ignore symptoms or attempt to push through a potentially serious problem simply to reach the next checkpoint.

The event team and Race Director may require a competitor to withdraw where there are concerns about their safety.

Remember, the most important finish line is the one you reach safely.

YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST!

🌊 ONE CHECKPOINT AT A TIME – ALL THE WAY TO MALIN HEAD!

Fourteen consecutive days.

612 miles.

And countless moments when reaching the next checkpoint will feel like a small victory.

Some days you'll feel fantastic.

Other days you'll need every ounce of determination you can find.

But that's what makes MizMal® such an extraordinary adventure.

One checkpoint.

One stage.

One day at a time.

Until finally, on Thursday 20th May 2027, the journey reaches its ultimate destination.

MALIN HEAD!

And for those who successfully complete all fourteen stages, the prestigious overall MizMal® medal will be waiting.

Fourteen days of running will place enormous demands on your feet.

Choosing suitable footwear, managing comfort and looking after your feet will be essential parts of the adventure.

612 MILES. FOURTEEN DAYS. EVERY STEP MATTERS!

👕 ULTRA RUNNING TECHNICAL RUNNING SHIRTS

Every full MizMal® competitor will also receive Ultra Running high-visibility technical running shirts.

Practical, recognisable and designed for an event where competitors will spend many hours out on the road.

• The event year, 2027 – marking your place in the history of this remarkable race.

A practical piece of equipment for the journey and a lasting reminder of your involvement in the event.

Long after the final miles have been completed, your personalised jacket will still tell a story.

A story of determination.

A story of extraordinary endurance.

And a story of running across Ireland.

YOUR NAME. YOUR CHALLENGE. YOUR MIZMAL® ADVENTURE!

🌦️ PREPARED FOR THE IRISH WEATHER!

Anyone familiar with Ireland will know that the weather can be wonderfully unpredictable.

Sunshine one moment.

A refreshing Atlantic breeze the next.

And perhaps a little rain thrown in for good measure!

Over fourteen consecutive days, competitors should expect a variety of conditions.

Suitable clothing will be essential.

Our high-visibility technical shirts and personalised jacket form part of the full-event merchandise package, but competitors must also bring appropriate personal running equipment for the conditions.

This may include waterproof clothing, additional warm layers, suitable socks and other items specified in the final compulsory kit requirements.

Remember, the event merchandise does not replace your responsibility to carry appropriate safety equipment.

BE PREPARED FOR THE WEATHER – AND READY FOR THE ADVENTURE!

🏅 THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORY – FIFTEEN MEDALS!

Of course, no discussion about MizMal® merchandise would be complete without mentioning the bling!

Every successfully completed daily race earns its own bespoke finisher's medal inspired by Irish mythology and folklore.

From the mischievous Pooka on Day 1 to the enchanting Aibell on Day 14, each medal celebrates another chapter of the journey.

Complete all fourteen stages in accordance with the event rules and you'll also receive the prestigious overall Mount to Coast MizMal® finisher's medal.

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

Now that's a collection worth making room for!

🎁 MORE THAN MERCHANDISE – MEMORIES TO TREASURE!

The best event merchandise is about more than the item itself.

It's about what that item represents.

A technical shirt might remind you of the day you battled through difficult weather.

Your running shoes might bring back memories of endless Irish roads and spectacular Atlantic scenery.

And your personalised jacket?

That might remind you of the extraordinary group of athletes who shared the adventure.

The laughter.

The encouragement.

The difficult moments.

And the celebrations as another daily finish line was crossed.

These are the things that make multi-day endurance events so special.

THE KIT IS PRACTICAL. THE MEMORIES ARE PRICELESS!

🎟️ EXCLUSIVE TO THE COMPLETE FOURTEEN-DAY CHALLENGE

The complimentary Mount to Coast footwear, Ultra Running technical shirts and personalised high-visibility jacket form part of the full fourteen-day MizMal® entry package.

📋 RACE RULES – MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® 2027

🇮🇪 FOURTEEN DAYS. 612 MILES. ONE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGE!

⚡ RUN FAIR. RUN SAFE. RESPECT THE ADVENTURE!

Welcome to the Mount to Coast MizMal® 2027, an extraordinary fourteen-day ultrarunning adventure from Mizen Head to Malin Head.

Covering an official event distance of 612 miles, MizMal® is designed to test endurance, determination, resilience and the ability to overcome extraordinary challenges.

But with fourteen consecutive days of running comes considerable responsibility.

These rules are designed to help ensure that the event is conducted fairly, safely and with respect for fellow competitors, event personnel, local communities and the magnificent Irish countryside.

All competitors are required to familiarise themselves with the event rules before taking part.

FOURTEEN DAYS OF EXTRAORDINARY RUNNING – LET'S MAKE IT AN ADVENTURE TO REMEMBER!

🏃 1. COMPETITOR RESPONSIBILITY

MizMal® is an extremely demanding endurance event.

Competitors entering the complete fourteen-day challenge must be suitably experienced, physically prepared and capable of undertaking repeated ultramarathon distances.

Each competitor is responsible for assessing their own fitness, health and readiness to participate.

If you have concerns about your ability to undertake the event, you should seek appropriate professional medical advice before entering.

Competitors must follow the instructions of the Race Director, event officials and checkpoint personnel.

PREPARATION IS EVERYTHING – RESPECT THE DISTANCE!

🧭 2. OFFICIAL ROUTE & NAVIGATION

MizMal® is a GPS-navigation event.

Each daily stage has an official GPX route, which competitors must follow.

GPX files will be provided approximately four weeks before the event.

Competitors must:

• Carry suitable GPS navigation equipment.
• Understand how to load and follow the official GPX routes.
• Follow the designated course.
• Visit all compulsory checkpoints in the correct order.
• Avoid shortcuts or deliberate deviations from the route.
• Return safely to the point of departure if they accidentally leave the course.

Competitors are responsible for their own navigation throughout each stage.

The GPS tracking device supplied by the organisers does not replace the requirement to carry suitable personal navigation equipment.

FOLLOW THE ROUTE. VISIT THE CHECKPOINTS. EARN YOUR FINISH!

📡 3. GPS TRACKING DEVICES

Every competitor will be provided with a GPS tracking device.

The device must be carried throughout each daily stage and used in accordance with the instructions supplied by the organisers.

Competitors must not deliberately interfere with, disable or misuse their tracking equipment.

Tracking information may be used by event officials to monitor progress and investigate possible route deviations.

The device includes an SOS facility for genuine emergencies.

THE SOS FUNCTION MUST ONLY BE USED IN A GENUINE EMERGENCY.

GPS tracking is an additional safety measure and does not guarantee uninterrupted coverage or immediate assistance.

💚 4. CHECKPOINT PROCEDURES

Every daily race includes designated checkpoints.

Competitors must visit each compulsory checkpoint in the correct order.

Checkpoint personnel may record arrival and departure information and monitor competitors' condition and progress.

Competitors must comply with instructions issued by checkpoint staff.

Food and refreshments will be available at designated checkpoints, although the selection may vary.

Runners must carry sufficient personal nutrition and fluids to travel safely between checkpoints.

CHECKPOINTS ARE THERE TO HELP YOU – PLEASE RESPECT OUR SUPPORT TEAM!

⏱️ 5. MINIMUM PACE & CUT-OFF TIMES

All competitors participating in the full fourteen-day Mount to Coast MizMal® must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including checkpoint stops.

This is an overall elapsed-time requirement, not simply a moving-speed requirement.

Each daily stage has its own distance and corresponding checkpoint and finish cut-offs.

Competitors must reach designated checkpoints and finish locations within the applicable time limits.

Competitors who fall below the required pace may be withdrawn from the event.

⚖️ RACE DIRECTOR'S DISCRETION

All competitors participating in the full fourteen-day Mount to Coast MizMal® must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including checkpoint stops.

Competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn from the event.

However, Ultra Running Ltd reserves the right to exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances, taking into account the competitor's condition, safety, performance and ability to complete subsequent stages within the permitted times.

Any decision to allow a competitor to continue is entirely at the discretion of the Race Director and does not guarantee permission to continue on future stages.

COMPETITOR SAFETY WILL ALWAYS TAKE PRIORITY.

THE RACE DIRECTOR'S DECISION IS FINAL.

🏅 6. DAILY FINISHES & THE OVERALL MIZMAL® AWARD

MizMal® consists of fourteen individual daily races.

Each successfully completed stage earns its own bespoke finisher's medal.

To qualify as an official full-event MizMal® finisher, a competitor must successfully complete all fourteen stages in accordance with the event rules.

Only successful full-event finishers qualify for the prestigious overall Mount to Coast MizMal® medal.

A competitor who does not successfully complete one of the daily stages will no longer be eligible for the overall fourteen-day finisher's award.

FOURTEEN SUCCESSFUL STAGES – ONE LEGENDARY ACHIEVEMENT!

🚗 7. PUBLIC ROADS & TRAFFIC SAFETY

The MizMal® route includes public roads and shared spaces.

ROADS ARE NOT CLOSED FOR THE EVENT.

All competitors must obey applicable Irish road traffic laws.

Runners must:

• Remain alert to vehicles and other road users.
• Take particular care at junctions and road crossings.
• Use designated pedestrian crossings where appropriate.
• Follow instructions from event officials.
• Wear suitable high-visibility clothing and lighting when required by conditions.
• Avoid behaviour that places themselves or others at unnecessary risk.

Competitors must never assume that approaching drivers have seen them.

YOUR SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR FINISH TIME!

🎒 8. COMPULSORY & RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

Competitors must carry suitable equipment for long-distance running and the conditions encountered during each stage.

The following equipment is expected as part of responsible race preparation:

• Suitable GPS navigation equipment with the day's official route loaded.
• The event-issued GPS tracking device.
• A charged mobile phone.
• Sufficient water-carrying capacity.
• A reusable drinking vessel.

Disposable drinking cups will not be supplied at checkpoints.

All competitors must carry a reusable drinking vessel.

Littering is strictly prohibited.

Competitors must carry used food wrappers, gel packets and other rubbish until they reach an appropriate disposal point.

TAKE MEMORIES. LEAVE FOOTPRINTS. NOT LITTER!

🆘 10. MEDICAL SAFETY & WITHDRAWAL

Competitor safety is our highest priority.

If a runner becomes injured, unwell or unable to continue safely, they must inform the event team as soon as reasonably possible.

The Race Director may withdraw a competitor from a stage or the event where there are concerns about their health, safety or ability to continue.

Competitors must comply with any instruction to stop running.

A competitor who decides to withdraw voluntarily must notify the organisers and follow the withdrawal procedure provided in the event instructions.

Do not leave the course without informing the event team.

The GPS SOS facility must only be used for genuine emergencies.

THERE IS NO MEDAL WORTH RISKING YOUR HEALTH OR SAFETY!

🤝 11. RESPECT FOR FELLOW COMPETITORS & EVENT PERSONNEL

MizMal® is an extraordinary shared adventure.

Competitors are expected to behave respectfully towards:

• Fellow runners.
• Event officials and checkpoint personnel.
• Accommodation and catering staff.
• Local residents.
• Members of the public.
• Other road and path users.

Abusive, threatening or deliberately unsafe behaviour will not be tolerated.

The Race Director may impose penalties or disqualification for serious breaches of event rules.

WE'RE ALL PART OF THE SAME ADVENTURE – LET'S LOOK AFTER ONE ANOTHER!

🏆 12. RACE RESULTS, MEDALS & TROPHIES

Each daily race has its own results and finisher awards.

Bespoke trophies recognise the leading male and female competitors in the individual stages, where applicable.

Daily medals are awarded for successfully completed stages.

The overall MizMal® finisher's medal is reserved for competitors who successfully complete all fourteen stages in accordance with the event rules.

Results and award eligibility remain subject to verification by the organisers.

EVERY MEDAL TELLS A STORY – MAKE SURE YOURS IS EARNED FAIRLY!

⚠️ 13. EVENT CHANGES & RACE DIRECTOR'S AUTHORITY

Ultra Running Ltd may need to make changes to routes, checkpoints, start arrangements, cut-offs or other event operations where necessary for safety or circumstances beyond the organisers' reasonable control.

Competitors must follow any updated instructions issued by the event team.

The Race Director has authority over operational decisions, safety-related withdrawals and the application of race rules.

Any disputes or concerns should be raised with the Race Director or an authorised event official.

THE RACE DIRECTOR'S DECISION IS FINAL.

🌊 14. FOURTEEN DAYS – ONE EXTRAORDINARY RESPONSIBILITY!

MizMal® is much more than fourteen individual races.

It's a journey across Ireland.

An adventure through some of the country's most spectacular landscapes.

And a shared experience involving competitors, support teams and local communities.

We want every runner to enjoy the challenge, respect the rules and return home with extraordinary memories.

There will be difficult days.

There will be moments when the next checkpoint seems impossibly far away.

And there may be times when determination alone isn't enough.

But by preparing properly, following the rules and looking after yourself and others, you'll give yourself the best possible opportunity to enjoy this remarkable event.
