Night Challenge 4: Glendalough 10K

Night Challenge 4: Glendalough is a marked 10km night trail race through the Wicklow Mountains, part of the IMRA Night Challenge series held after dark. The route incorporates sections of the Wicklow Way and St Kevin's Way, climbing through the forests and hillsides surrounding Glendalough, with around 490 metres of total ascent. A shorter option of roughly 4.8 to 5 kilometres is also available for those preferring a less demanding night trail experience. The terrain is genuine mountain and forest trail rather than road, run entirely in darkness with the course marked for the night. Mandatory Level B kit is required for all entrants, along with a suitable head torch, given the technical, exposed nature of some sections. As the fourth race in the Night Challenge series, it draws a strong field of experienced IMRA members alongside newcomers to night trail running, in one of Wicklow's most scenic valleys.
