Ballyhoura Winter Moonlight Dash
About the event
Embark on an enchanting journey through the heart of Limerick's Ballyhoura Mountains for the Winter Moonlight Dash. This moderate terrain race offers runners a unique blend of forest trails and winding boreens, illuminated by moonlight as you navigate its undulating paths. The route spans 6 to 10 kilometers with ascents ranging from 200 meters to 500 meters, providing both challenge and scenic beauty.
Starting and finishing at Scoil Pol in Kilfinane, the dash is a shorter version of the Challenge route but retains all the essence of IMRA's Ballyhoura Moonlight Dash. Participants will experience the magic of running under starlit skies through lush woodlands and rugged terrain without tackling Seefin mountain. This event promises an unforgettable adventure for those ready to embrace the winter night.
Entries must be secured by January 21, 2027, at 6 PM, with no transfers allowed once registered due to IMRA's strict policies. Braving this course is a testament to your endurance and appreciation of nature in its most serene form.
