Run with us on a truly magical point to point 108 mile Ultra, starting in Larrybane Quarry in Ballintoy (famously used as a location for the Game of Thrones) you will run along the iconic Causeway Coast and the Giants Causeway. Listed as one of the Natural Wonders of the world, you will follow the Way marked Ulster Way as you travel along through the seaside town of Portrush, Portstewart, Castlerock and across the Sperrin’s, the Glenshane Pass and on to the finishing line in Gortin, County Tyrone.
