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.
