Barry MurrayMay 27 2025, 3:03pmHi Folks,

For those planning to make a trip to the Kingdom in July for the Dingle Trail Running Festival there is a camping option nearby. I have added the details to the Brandon Ridge 1/2 race page.

There will be 3 x races over the weekend:

Fri 11th July: Brandon Vertical
Saturday 12th July: Brandon Ridge 1/2
Sunday 13th July: Dingle Trail

The campsite will be busy in July so if planning to camp, book ASAP !
Peter BellMay 27 2025, 9:28pmMyself & old man John are booked in for the Friday & Saturday. Looking forward it. Kerry never disapoints. Hopefully see a few there. Race route looks great.

Down in Dingle for a few days next week and hoping to try the route. Does anyone know if it is generally accessible (outside of the race day)?

Míle buíochas,
Sam
