Run the Ridge

Run the Ridge offers a challenging series of trail and mountain runs set against the breathtaking backdrop of Wicklow’s iconic landscapes. Participants can choose from three distances: a 20 km mountain and trail run crossing the spectacular Derrybawn Ridge, a 30 km mixed rocky trail on the famous Spinc walk, or a 10 km trail-only course through the scenic Derrybawn Woods. The event also includes a junior race, making it accessible for younger runners. Organized by Laragh GAA with support from Glendalough AC and Athletics Wicklow, Run the Ridge combines community spirit with expert race management. The 20 km and 30 km distances are UTMB 20k qualifier races and part of the ITRA National League, attracting competitive trail runners each year. The event also serves as the Athletics Wicklow Off-Road Championship, with club members competing for medals.
