Follow event Run/Walk Off Road/Trail

The Warriors Run in Strandhill, Co. Sligo on 22 August 2026 is one of Ireland’s toughest competitive races.

This challenging 15km run takes competitors from the Cannon Gun at the beachfront in Strandhill to the top of Knocknarea Mountain, around Queen Maeve’s Cairn at the summit and back to the beachfront again.

Approximately 9km of the course are on paved roads, it is the special 6km in the middle, to the top of Knocknarea that gives the race its bite - a 700 foot climb through fields, loose gravel, unsurfaced and heather paths, followed by an equally daunting downhill run, back down the often slippery slopes.
