Irish Mountain Cardio

Irish Mountain Cardio Irish Fitness Industry Awards Finalist 2020. 98FM Best Of Dublin Sports Club Finalist 2024/25 Your more than welcome anytime.

Established at the beginning of 2017, Irish Mountain Cardio quickly became Dublins largest trail running club over a very short period of time. Founder and creator Mark Foley, his passion for running mountains and trails all around Dublin and Ireland grew into a trail club that has been recognised by his peers all across the land. With experience in 5k runs right up to 52k ultras, from adventure r

aces, triathlons, aquathons, duathlons and everything in between, he has a vast knowledge of everything you need to know. The one component that helped in all his races throughout the years was the experience of running hills and how it helped his endurance and strength to overcome the difficulties of various terrains that races throw up at you. Irish Mountain Cardio is proud to be affiliated with Athletes Ireland. Based up at the Hellfire Club in the Dublin Mountains, with distances of 6k 8k and 10k runs to choose from, for all cardio sports, using mountains as a form of resistance training, hill running is an excellent way of keeping fit and healthy both for the body and the mind.

❤️⛰️🏃 The Heller Half 2026

Our first Heller Half — done and dusted! 🙌

3 × 7km mountain trail loops, plenty of climbing, tired legs and one tough hill waiting at the back end. 😅

A huge achievement by everyone who took it on today. What a morning, what a crew and what a way to finish! 🖤🤍

Saturday mornings don’t get much better than this ❤️ ⛰️ 🏃

A cracking morning on the trails with a great crew, taking in some of the best views Dublin has to offer. Plenty of hills, plenty of laughs and a few of the speedsters making the climbs look far too easy while us mere mortals just kept putting one foot in front of the other 😂

Fresh air, good company and miles in the legs — exactly how a Saturday morning should be.

🌒 A slightly different start to tonight’s run!

We headed up early to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse before getting down to the usual business. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Not something you get to see every day, so we’re glad we made the trip up to take it in — and what a spot to watch it from! ⛰️☀️

A rare event ticked off… now it’s back to the hills and back to the running! 💪⛰️

Trails have a way of rewarding those who get up early. 🌲🏃

This morning’s run had everything that makes trail running special—quiet forest tracks, flowing singletrack, open mountain views and even a surprise encounter with one of the locals along the way. 🦌

Every week is different, but that’s the beauty of running in the Dublin Mountains. Fresh air, great company and miles of trails to explore.

Thanks to everyone who joined us this morning. See you all next week.

Massey’s Estate never disappoints, and adding the Cruagh Woods loop always makes for a tougher day out on the trails. Plenty of climbs and elevation to get the legs working on an early Saturday morning, but that’s exactly what we’re here for.

A great turnout, great company, and as always, plenty of smiles along the way. Well done everyone – another brilliant morning in the Dublin Mountains.

Coffee and trails – the perfect way to start your weekend. ☕🏃‍♂️🌲
Another great Saturday morning with the Irish Mountain Cardio crew. Good miles on the trails, plenty of chats along the way, and finishing it all off with coffee and a bite to eat in Timber Trove.

It’s never just about the running – it’s the people, the laughs, and the post-run catch-up that make these mornings special.

Well done everyone, and enjoy the rest of your weekend! 👏🖤🏔️
