Training plan for the Art O'Neill Challenge
Friday, 15 January 2027 in Dublin, Ireland. That is 8 weeks away.
When a build would have to start
OLTRA plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
50K — a 20-week build, 5 runs a week
Not enough room left for the full build.
Too close? The next one
The organiser runs this the third Friday in January, which puts the 2028 race on Friday, 21 January 2028. That date is not announced yet, so check it before planning to it — but a 50K build for it would start the week of 30 August 2027.
On the day
One distance: 50K. Entries, course and timings are artoneill.ie’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — OLTRA sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
