This event is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts looking to push their limits and conquer the magnificent Mournes.
Meeting bright and early at 06:30 AM, this in-person challenge will test your endurance as you conquer the seven highest peaks in the Mournes in just one day. From the breathtaking views atop Slieve Donard to the rugged beauty of Slieve Bearnagh, each summit will leave you in awe.
The Mournes 7 Seven’s One Day Challenge is the perfect opportunity to push yourself and experience the natural wonders of Northern Ireland. Don't miss out on this incredible adventure!
The Mournes 7 Sevens is a long distance route in the Mourne Mountains which includes all 7 mountains over 700m (sort of- Meelmore historically accidentally slipped in there). We will tell you more about that on the day!
This is a big challenge! You will be hiking for 26km and ascend/descend 2,500m. It will take approximately 12-14 hours and you will need a very good level of fitness to complete this challenge. We will be following our own uniquely designed linear route which ensures we cover all 7 peaks. On completion of the challenge you will be awarded one of our unique 7 Sevens medals.
