WELCOME TO ECOTRAIL WICKLOW 19 KM!

The 19 km race is our second shortest race and  widely accessible but don’t be fooled into thinking that you will miss out on a lot as this route is full of highlights.

You begin at the promenade at Bray seafront before climbing up the slopes of the coastal hill Bray Head where you can look out across the Irish Sea. From here you enter the Elizabethan Kilruddery Estate before a run up and around the Little Sugarloaf – a limestone mountain carved out by the ancient sea that once covered this area of the Irish coast.

You return to Bray Head via Belmont estate (Water station here after 11km) where you are greeted first by views over Dublin Bay and then by a true Irish welcome at the finish line!

The 19 km route almost entirely on hard-packed trails with 3 short sections of rocky trails and only 2 very short road sections as you cross between Bray Head and the Little Sugarloaf.

A map of the route is provided for your general information but this map is not intended to be used for access purposes.

 

Please do not access private sections of the route particularly in Belmont Estate and Powerscourt Waterfall unless using their permitted public access routes.
