MTC CARMAN – 38 MILES

DAY 12 OF MOUNT TO COAST MIZMAL® – MYTHS & LEGENDS OF IRELAND

Tuesday 18th May 2027

🧙‍♀️ BEWARE THE SORCERESS – CARMAN IS WAITING!

Twelve days. Twelve legends. One extraordinary journey across Ireland!

Welcome to the Mount to Coast Carman, a challenging 38-mile ultramarathon inspired by one of the most mysterious and formidable figures in Irish mythology.

Carman was no ordinary woman.

An ancient sorceress associated with powerful magic and destruction, she was said to have travelled to Ireland accompanied by her three sons, bringing devastation and misfortune wherever they went.

But even the mighty Carman eventually met her match!

And on Tuesday 18th May 2027, our competitors will face a challenge worthy of her fearsome reputation.

38 miles of determination, endurance and sheer willpower!

🏃 TWELVE CONSECUTIVE ULTRAMARATHONS!

For competitors undertaking the complete fourteen-day Mount to Coast MizMal® adventure, Day 12 represents another extraordinary milestone.

Eleven consecutive ultramarathons already completed.

Hundreds of miles conquered.

Tired legs, aching muscles and a determination that simply refuses to surrender.

Now, just three daily races remain, including Carman, before the ultimate finish line at Malin Head.

For standalone competitors, the MTC Carman offers the opportunity to experience the magic of MizMal® in a single unforgettable 38-mile challenge.

🇮🇪 THE LEGEND CONTINUES!

With each passing day, our competitors move closer to the northern tip of Ireland.

But Carman isn’t about to make things easy.

She may have wielded powerful magic, but our runners possess something equally formidable.

COURAGE. RESILIENCE. DETERMINATION.

Whether you’re joining us for one day or undertaking the entire fourteen-day adventure, the MTC Carman promises another memorable chapter in the MizMal® story.

38 MILES. ONE POWERFUL SORCERESS. ONE LEGENDARY CHALLENGE!

🔮 FACE THE MAGIC. DEFEAT THE SORCERESS. CONQUER THE CARMAN!

RACE OVERVIEW – MTC CARMAN

⚡ 38 MILES. ONE POWERFUL SORCERESS. ANOTHER LEGENDARY CHALLENGE!

Tuesday 18th May 2027 | Day 12 of Mount to Coast MizMal®

Welcome to the Mount to Coast Carman, a challenging 38-mile ultramarathon inspired by one of the most formidable sorceresses in Irish mythology.

Carman was a mysterious figure associated with powerful magic, destruction and ancient legends.

But on Day 12 of MizMal®, our competitors face a challenge that requires no supernatural powers.

38 miles of determination, endurance and sheer willpower!

🏃 THE CHALLENGE

Starting at Rolling Wave Guesthouse in Bundoran, Co. Donegal, competitors will make their way towards Villa Rose Hotel & Spa in Ballybofey, Co. Donegal.

This approximately 38-mile journey takes runners further through County Donegal, bringing the ultimate MizMal® finish line at Malin Head ever closer.

For those undertaking the complete fourteen-day challenge, this is their twelfth consecutive ultramarathon.

Eleven demanding days are already behind them.

Hundreds of miles have been conquered.

And with the accumulated fatigue of almost two weeks of ultra running, every remaining mile will count.

For standalone competitors, the MTC Carman offers a formidable single-day challenge and the opportunity to experience the support, camaraderie and atmosphere of MizMal®.

💚 WHAT TO EXPECT

Approximately 38 miles of challenging Irish ultramarathon running.

A journey from Bundoran to Ballybofey through County Donegal.

Supported checkpoints offering food, refreshments and encouragement.

GPX navigation information supplied before race day.

GPS tracking to assist with competitor safety and event monitoring.

A bespoke MTC Carman finisher's medal for successful finishers.

A friendly, supportive atmosphere shared with fellow ultrarunners.

⏱️ MINIMUM PACE REQUIREMENT

All competitors must maintain a minimum overall average speed of 4 mph, including time spent at checkpoints.

This requirement helps ensure the safe and efficient operation of the event.

Based on the advertised distance of 38 miles, the estimated maximum completion time is 9 hours and 30 minutes.

Final checkpoint and finish cut-off times will be confirmed once the precise route distance has been established.

🏅 TWELVE DAYS DOWN. TWO TO GO!

For our full MizMal® competitors, successfully completing Carman represents another extraordinary milestone.

TWELVE CONSECUTIVE ULTRAMARATHONS COMPLETED!

Only two more daily races will stand between them and the ultimate finish line at Malin Head.

For standalone competitors, conquering Carman means completing a demanding Irish ultramarathon and earning a very special medal inspired by an ancient legend.

🔮 CAN YOU BREAK THE SORCERESS'S SPELL?

Carman may have wielded powerful magic, but our competitors possess something far more important.

The courage to begin.

The resilience to overcome adversity.

And the determination to reach the finish line.

Whether you're tackling a single day or the complete MizMal® adventure, this is another opportunity to achieve something extraordinary.
