About
The Seven Sisters Skyline Ireland is an EPIC mountain running event held in the majestic Derryveagh Mountains of Donegal. The 55km course with 4,000m ascent is widely regarded as the toughest mountain running event in Ireland. Furthermore, the 2022 edition of the 30k event will be Ireland's first ever Mountain running World Cup event. Donegal, located in the most northerly county of the island of Ireland, is a place of wild, rugged beauty that boasts spectacular coastline views and an array of unspoilt landscapes. It was even voted ‘Coolest place on the planet’ by National Geographic in 2017! To reach the event location, one must journey Northwest along peaceful roads that traverse through the Gaeltacht - an area where the Donegal Irish dialect is still in use. Nestled at the foot of Mount Errigal, the village of Dunlewey is the host of the Seven Sisters Skyline Ireland event.The Seven Sisters, the major mountain range in Donegal, are Errigal (751 m), Mackoght a.k.a. Little Errigal (555 m), Aghla More (584 m), Ardloughnabrackbaddy (603 m), Aghla Beg (564 m), Crocknalaragagh (471 m) and Muckish (666 m). Though these mountains may not be the tallest, their attitude and terrain make them a formidable challenge.
