Ring Of Gullion Ultra
Join Ring Of Gullion Ultra
Join us for an amazing journey around the Gullion Way.
Formed some 60 million years ago, the Slieve Gullion ring dyke was created by a massive volcanic explosion. The eruption obliterated the central volcano but left a circle of hills radiating around the main caldera. The formation measures some 150km² and is considered the finest example of its type in Britain and Ireland.

Formed some 60 million years ago, the Slieve Gullion ring dyke was created by a massive volcanic explosion. The eruption obliterated the central volcano but left a circle of hills radiating around the main caldera. The formation measures some 150km² and is considered the finest example of its type in Britain and Ireland.
The route is approximately 90% road and 10% Trail. The majority of the roads are quiet, rural country roads and the views will blow your mind; they are some of the best views across Northern Ireland. This may be the hilliest ultra in Northern Ireland and is an event you will not want to miss.
This event is run in line with our core values as race organisers - encouraging runners to take running back to nature and to be self-sufficient - to simply enjoy the freedom of running wild and appreciating the natural beauty around them and there is plenty to appreciate on this course.
This is a challenging course which offers a unique experience to run the Gullion way as part of an organised event. Hills are aplenty and you will be rewarded with amazing mountain views overlooking the Ring of Gullion and the landscape of South Armagh. Along the way you pass Clontygora Court Grave, Moyry Castle, Killeavy Old Churches, Craigmore Viaduct and Slieve Gullion Forest park. Runners traverse the slopes of Fathom Mountain, Black Mountain, Camlough Mountain and Slieve Gullion (The Ring of Gullion's highest peak).
