Ed McGroarty sets new Mizen to Malin record


At the start of July 2021, Ultra runner Ed McGroarty set a new record for running the length of Ireland from Mizen Head in Cork to Malin Head in Donegal.

Ed completed the course in a new record time of 3 days 1 hour 55 minutes. The previous record of 3d 3h 47m was set by Eoin Keith back in 2017.

The map of his route is shown above and can be seen in more detail in this LINK.

It looks as if this is now established as the fastest route from Mizen to Malin and is likely to be used for future attempts.
