2025 event launched!

Check-in

Check-in! : We will be asking all registered participants to check in online approximately two weeks from the event. The Check-in process will result in a simpler event experience for you by removing the usual on-the-day administration. Within the Check-in process we will ask you to: 1) Confirm your preferred postal address to enable your participant number to be posted out, 2) Watch the mandatory event safety video.

Season Leader Board (2024 - 25)

This event is part of the Endurancelife 24 - 25 trail running season (September 2024 till July 2025). Runners who complete any distance category at this event will be awarded points and will be listed in the Season Leader Board. Points are awarded based on performance and can contribute to a participant's overall season score. Good luck! Read more here.


This event showcases a breathtaking stretch of world-famous coastline which includes the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland's first UNESCO Heritage Site. You will run alongside the awe-inspiring geological wonder of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns as you experience some of the best scenery in the country.

Your 20 mile coastal route is located entirely within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and features dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches and ancient castle ruins.

Perfect for those who have aspirations to run marathons and beyond to test the water as well as representing a tough but beautiful challenge in it's own right!

This event is part of the 2024-25 Season Leaderboard!
