The Ballyliffin Coastal Challenge returns on Saturday, 4 April 2026, bringing runners and adventure-seekers to the rugged beauty of the Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal. Set against stunning Atlantic views, this iconic coastal run delivers an exhilarating mix of rolling terrain, sweeping seascapes and a true Wild Atlantic Way experience.
