Spelga Skyline

The race venue and route will be the same as used in 2022. The race will start on the track on the lower slopes of Slievenamuck and will visit 9 summits along the skyline around Spelga reservoir. From Cock Mtn the run to the finish passes below the dam before a last short climb up to the car park. There are two mandatory road crossings but the rest of the course is off-road. Competitors must visit all of the checkpoints in the correct order, with the route between checkpoints being at the runners’ discretion. The course is not marked.

In bad weather and/or poor visibility navigation skills and experience is an essential requirement for all entrants. This is not a suitable race for novices or new entrants to the sport of mountain running. The race organisers reserve the right to refuse a starting place to anybody whom they deem to not have the requisite experience and/or fitness. The minimum entry age is 18yrs on the day.
