Tralee 50K

Prepare to conquer the Kingdom of Kerry at the Tralee 50K Ultra Marathon, scheduled for Saturday, March 21, 2026. This high-endurance event challenges participants with a 10K looped course that must be navigated five times, offering a unique mental and physical test in the heart of Tralee. Starting at 9:00 AM opposite FBD House on Dan Spring Road, the race is designed to be inclusive for ultra-distance enthusiasts of all paces, famously operating with no official cut-off times. The looped format provides a rhythmic and strategic racing environment, allowing runners to pass their personal supply station at the start/finish area multiple times to refuel and recalibrate.

The Tralee Ultra is a "Leave No Trace" event that emphasizes runner autonomy and safety on open roads. While stewards and Gardaí provide guidance, participants are required to wear high-visibility vests and adhere to standard rules of the road throughout the 50K journey. To ensure maximum awareness of their surroundings and fellow competitors, the use of headphones is strictly prohibited. With professional chip timing provided by Timing Solutions Ireland and a supportive atmosphere that welcomes both solo runners and those with a support crew, this race stands as a premier fixture for the Irish ultra-running community looking to kick off their spring season with a significant milestone.
