About
The Tollymore Trail Marathon isn't just a race — it's an invitation to explore one of Northern Ireland's most breathtaking landscapes. Set in the heart of the Mourne Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this event takes you deep into Tollymore Forest Park, where every stride reveals something new — from winding rivers and ancient stone bridges to sweeping views of the Mourne Mountains and the Irish Sea.
Whether you're tackling the full marathon, half, or 10k, you'll experience a route that's as rewarding as it is challenging. Forest tracks, natural trails, and autumn colours create an unforgettable running adventure that captures the true spirit of the outdoors.
But the Tollymore Trail Marathon isn't just about race day — it's about the destination. Rostrevor and Newcastle offer everything from cosy lodges and boutique stays to welcoming pubs, cafes, and local attractions. It's the perfect spot to make a weekend of it: run hard, refuel, and take time to explore the stunning Mournes.
Come for the run, stay for the experience — and discover why Tollymore is one of the most beautiful trail running destinations in Ireland.
