Join us on our innaugural Irish running adventure, running Ireland's Wicklow Way, which bisects the national park of the same name, crossing mountains, valleys, rivers and national routes for 65 miles over 3 days.
The route will take us north to south from Marlay Park on the southern outskirts of Dublin, to Tinahely, following the Wicklow Way for three days, with almost 2,500m of ascent.
You can choose how to get to Dublin but we recommend you arrive on Friday night to bed in and sample some of Dublin's nocturnal delights. For the Friday evening you can make your own arrangments or we can book you in to an Air BNB facility in Usher's Quay, where we'll all stay within close proximity, just a five minute walk from the city centre.
There are Ryan Air and Easyjet flights from several airports to Dublin from Bristol, Liverpool, Exeter and London.
