Countdown
March
A Wicklow Way ultra that runs out to Glencullen Bridge and back, with a long history behind it. 50 km and 1,900 m of climbing is a proper day in the hills, not a gentle first ultra.
Key facts
01Level C kit required: waterproof jacket, shelter, map and compass, 500 mL water
02Cut-offs at 17 km, 27 km and about 39 km, so keep moving early
03Return skips Ballinastoe, so the route differs from the way out
