The 10th Annual GR8 DUNDRUM RUN took place on Saturday 19th October 2019 at 12:00pm in the picturesque village of Dundrum Co. Down.
The race was organised by members of Murlough AC in association with the National Trust and is now one of the most popular races on the NI race calendar and as the name suggests is an 8 mile race. Over a thousand runners took part!
The GR8 Dundrum Run will again hosted a 3.5 mile wheelchair race which is open to assisted and non assisted wheelchair participants.
The route was a stunning mix of road, beach and boardwalk incorporating Murlough’s Nature Reserve, where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.
