This classic fell style route encompasses the best of what the Galtees has to offer. Runners will leave Kings yard and follow a stunning woodland trail north and join the famous black road onto the open mountain where they will then hit three of the mountains highest points (Galtee Beg 799m, Galtee Mór 917m and Lyracappal 878m) on the route before then descending back down into the valleys on the south side to traverse some truly beautiful trails before finishing back in Kings Yard. While we will endeavor to have the route fully marked this is an open mountain race and therefore some navigation skills may be required. The weather on the Galtees in particular can change quite suddenly and dramatically so we encourage everyone competing to embrace the fact that if heavy cloud/fog moves in visibility may be compromised and route markings will not be as obvious. We would also like to remind everyone that if you do come across somebody hurt or in distress please stop and help, we all have a duty of care to one another, after all its only running.
