About

The Born to Run 40 Mile Ultra Marathon in Tralee challenges runners with ten loops of a 4-mile course, featuring a mix of flat riverside paths and hilly country roads. Each lap includes two half-mile hills with a 90-foot climb, posing a demanding but rewarding test of stamina. Runners must manage their own supplies, but refreshments are available at strategic points to help them refuel. Finishers receive distinctive medals and buffs, making the accomplishment memorable.
