About Our Club

Welcome to Irish Mountain Trail Runners

Our story began in 2018 as a small group of friends running together, but it was in 2020 that we truly found our home in the beautiful Cruagh Woods and officially established the Irish Mountain Trail Runners (proudly registered with Athletics Ireland)

Whether you are taking your very first steps off the pavement or eyeing up your next 200k, you have a place here. We are a mixed-pace, incredibly supportive group where social joggers and elite endurance athletes share the same trails.

We've watched runners start on our Saturday 4k and go all the way to finishing Ultramarathons—in fact, this year alone, we had 23 proud members at the start and finish lines of an Ultra!

From 4k trail loops to Back Yard Ultras, half marathons to multi-day epics, there is a mountain of experience within our club and we love sharing it.

Our Wednesday Runs
We meet every Wednesday evening at Cruagh Woods.
7:00 PM – For Everyone

Our Saturday Runs
We meet every Saturday morning at Cruagh Woods. Pick your distance - or mix and match!

Want more mileage? Many of our members "double up" and combine runs to smash their weekend distance goals.

Beyond our weekly runs, we host 3 exclusive club events each year just for our members.

Come for the trails, stay for the community.
