EcoTrail Wicklow - EcoTrail Wicklow 80k 2026

Course

The 80 km course starts and finishes on Bray’s seafront promenade in County Wicklow. It has 2,815 m of ascent and 2,830 m of descent and is labelled Very Hilly. It is the longest race in the EcoTrail series.

The route climbs Bray Head and enters Wicklow Mountains National Park. Its early stages cross rocky trails over the Little and Great Sugarloaf mountains, pass Kilruddery Estate and reach the Wicklow Way. The middle section combines trails with short stretches of quiet road, passing Powerscourt Waterfall and the Lough Tay viewpoint, also known locally as the Guinness Lake.

Runners complete a loop of the upgraded Roundwood Reservoir trails before returning to Bray via Belmont Estate. Near the 24 km mark, a cut-off point allows runners to drop down onto the 46 km event. The event is in its seventh edition.
