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 races, 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.

A chilly start to our Saturday morning run at the Hellfire, but it didn’t take long for the muscles to warm up once we got moving.

The forest trails were looking beautiful, with the autumn sunshine filtering through the trees. Plenty of good running, fresh mountain air and great company along the way.

Another fantastic morning with Irish Mountain Cardio, rounded off with a well-earned coffee.

Forest trails, fresh air, hills and good company. Another cracking morning out on the trails, with everyone putting in the work at their own pace and enjoying everything the mountains have to offer.

Some runs are about the distance or the pace. Others are simply about getting outside, clearing the head and remembering why we love doing this. Well done all.

What a great day out in Bray for EcoTrail Wicklow! The conditions were spot on and the course was brilliantly marked out from start to finish.

Our IMC crew went all out, pushed hard and put in some fantastic performances across the day. Plenty of tough running, tired legs and big smiles crossing that finish line — followed, of course, by a well-earned refreshment!

Super running by everyone. Another brilliant day on the trails and great to see the IMC crew out there doing what we love. Well done all! Ecotrail Wicklow

🌲 WINTER ROUTE IS BACK 🔦🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

From next Wednesday, we’re switching over to our winter route at the Hellfire.

It might not be quite as technical as our summer route, but don’t be fooled — on a cold, dark and damp winter’s night, it can still be tricky enough underfoot! 🌧️🌲

🔦 Head torches from now on — no head torch, no run.

Same Wednesday crew, same hills… just a little darker! 😃

Meet 6.45pm | Run 7.00pm | Hellfire Club Car Park

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.
