Dublin Mountains Plod half marathon - 17th July 2011

The second Dublin Mountains half marathon event takes place on Sunday July 17th at 10am.  The event hosted by IMRA and the DMP, and sponsored by Basecamp, is primarily through forests and along trails in the scenic Dublin Mountains.

This route has 820m of climb, and covers a variety of terrain. It is an event for enthusiastic trail runners. Participants will be treated to a tour of some of Dublin's most popular trails.  Prizes will be sponsored by Basecamp.
