DAMBUSTERS
The Annual DAMBUSTERS race will take place on Saturday 10th August 2024 at the Silent Valley Mountain Centre. Following the popularity of the 10 Mile race we have decided to make this a permanent fixture in place of the Half Marathon.
The Silent Valley is located within the Mourne area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in Ireland. The Valley is surrounded by dramatic mountain panoramas and includes a reservoir built in the early 1900s as well as the famous Mourne wall. (Only 30 minutes drive from Newry).
