The Tourmakeady Wood parkrun begins and ends close to the main car park within the breathtaking Tourmakeady Wood, nestled on the shores of Lough Mask. This engaging 5k course consists of two laps that guide participants through a lush canopy of mature trees, following a scenic route that passes the cascading Tourmakeady Waterfall and the serene local nature trails. Runners enjoy the tranquil and sheltered environment of the woodland, which offers a refreshing escape into the heart of the South Mayo landscape. The terrain is a varied mixture of gravel, grass, and forest trails, which can become soft or uneven depending on the weather. While the route captures the rugged beauty of the forest, it is characterized by seriously hilly sections and significant elevation changes that provide a rewarding challenge for all participants. This professionally organized event is celebrated for its inclusive community spirit and the stunning, natural setting of the Gaeltacht region.
