My name is Eoghan Flynn and welcome to episode 140 of the Trail Running Ireland podcast.

It was Ireland's largest ever trail running event there last weekend in Bray County Wicklow and in this week's episode we go behind the scenes to examine how such a race is put together as well as highlighting the standout performances that we were treated to from some of Ireland's top top trail runners.

Everyone get your running gear on let's go! Hey everybody, how's it going? Hopefully the training, racing and recovery is going well, especially if you raced there last weekend in Bray at EcoTrail Wicklow 2026.

What a special day it was.

And if you weren't there last weekend with us, hopefully you'll enjoy the next 40-45 minutes as we reflect on a record-breaking day for trail running in Ireland.

I was looking at it earlier on there, the calendar, and there's about 20 or so different options for racing before the end of the year.

So do pop over to the IMRA website for that one.

But for now, let's chat about that record-breaking day for Irish trail running in Bray in Wicklow last Saturday.
