Start 7AM

Born to Run Tralee Marathon Club are proud and excited to bring you the fifth annual Born to Run 40 Mile Ultra Marathon. The 2 person and 4 person relay events also return. Taking place on Saturday July 25th in the town of Tralee, this 40 Mile Ultra-marathon consists of ten 4 mile loops.  The course is made up of a relaxing (and flat) 1 mile river walkway (concrete) and country roads (not quiet flat in places). Each loop has two hills of approximately 0.5 miles each and have a climb of about 90 feet each. These hills are immediately followed by an equal downhill section which will be a welcome relief after the climb.

Event Details and Schedule

The event is a self-sufficient event but some refreshments will be provided at the start/finish of each loop and approximately halfway around the loop. Participants are advised to bring their own supplies which can be placed in the refreshment area at the start/finish of each loop. Participants can also provide the organisers with a drop bag that can be placed at approximately halfway around the loop. (Please see waiver) Drop bags and supplies left in the start/finish area must be clearly labelled with the participants name. 

All Finishers will receive a custom made Born to Run Tralee Marathon Club 40 Mile Ultra-Marathon Medal and a Born to Run Tralee Marathon Club Buff.  There will be place awards for the First, Second and third male and female on the day.
