A Great Race and A GREAT Cause
IMRA Galtymore uphill race, 10 June 2026
Report by André Brodkorb
4.5km up Galtymore, with a 700m climb – what a class race with a touch of madness.
The start of the race was at King’s Yard on the foot of the Galtee Mountains, and the course was pretty simple: up and up and up until the quads burn, and so they did!
Slow uphill running and speed walking the steep slopes, but all laughs and smiles at the top of 919m Galtymore. The usual gale-force winds prevented anyone from hanging around for too long. It took me 47:31min to the top, with the winners probably 10min or so ahead of me. Donnie Walsh: “Mix things up and get out of your comfort zone every six weeks or so!” Here you go! There are a few more uphill “Sky Races” on the IMRA calendar - yes you can
