🌲 WINTER ROUTE IS BACK 🔦🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

From next Wednesday, we’re switching over to our winter route at the Hellfire.

It might not be quite as technical as our summer route, but don’t be fooled — on a cold, dark and damp winter’s night, it can still be tricky enough underfoot! 🌧️🌲

🔦 Head torches from now on — no head torch, no run.

Same Wednesday crew, same hills… just a little darker! 😃

Meet 6.45pm | Run 7.00pm | Hellfire Club Car Park

Fresh trails, strong legs, clear head. ❤️⛰️🏃

Saturday mornings don’t get much better than this ❤️ ⛰️ 🏃

A cracking morning on the trails with a great crew, taking in some of the best views Dublin has to offer. Plenty of hills, plenty of laughs and a few of the speedsters making the climbs look far too easy while us mere mortals just kept putting one foot in front of the other 😂

Fresh air, good company and miles in the legs — exactly how a Saturday morning should be.

🌒 A slightly different start to tonight’s run!

We headed up early to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse before getting down to the usual business. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Not something you get to see every day, so we’re glad we made the trip up to take it in — and what a spot to watch it from! ⛰️☀️

A rare event ticked off… now it’s back to the hills and back to the running! 💪⛰️

Trails have a way of rewarding those who get up early. 🌲🏃

This morning’s run had everything that makes trail running special—quiet forest tracks, flowing singletrack, open mountain views and even a surprise encounter with one of the locals along the way. 🦌

Every week is different, but that’s the beauty of running in the Dublin Mountains. Fresh air, great company and miles of trails to explore.

Thanks to everyone who joined us this morning. See you all next week.

Massey’s Estate never disappoints, and adding the Cruagh Woods loop always makes for a tougher day out on the trails. Plenty of climbs and elevation to get the legs working on an early Saturday morning, but that’s exactly what we’re here for.

A great turnout, great company, and as always, plenty of smiles along the way. Well done everyone – another brilliant morning in the Dublin Mountains.

Coffee and trails – the perfect way to start your weekend. ☕🏃‍♂️🌲
Another great Saturday morning with the Irish Mountain Cardio crew. Good miles on the trails, plenty of chats along the way, and finishing it all off with coffee and a bite to eat in Timber Trove.

It’s never just about the running – it’s the people, the laughs, and the post-run catch-up that make these mornings special.

Well done everyone, and enjoy the rest of your weekend! 👏🖤🏔️
