Mourne Mountain Marathon
The Mourne Mountain Marathon is a two day navigation and endurance event held in the Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland. The 47th edition is scheduled for 19 and 20 September 2026. Teams of two enter one of four two day classes or a one day Score class. Across the two day classes teams cover distances that typically fall between 35 km and 55 km over the weekend. The Score class is a single day event in which teams collect points within a six hour period. Competitors are expected to camp overnight and to be self-sufficient while on course.
Race features listed by the organiser include a flexible start time on day one, SPORTident electronic timing, end of event refreshments, and a T-shirt plus car sticker for entrants.
