On 11 April 2026, the Endurancelife Giant’s Causeway event returns as part of the Endurancelife Coastal Trail Series, sending runners along one of the most spectacular coastlines in Europe. The 20-mile route traverses an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, linking clifftop paths, sandy beaches, grassy fields and rugged singletrack as it passes landmarks including the UNESCO-listed Giant’s Causeway and ancient castle ruins. Underfoot it’s a constantly changing mix of coast path, grass, trail and beach, with meaningful elevation gain and exposed sections where wind and weather can play a major role. Fully marked and supported with checkpoints, it’s pitched as a tough but achievable step between a road marathon and longer ultras, rewarding effort with wild scenery from start to finish.
