This page includes 12 current discoverable race records matching the stated geography or distance definition: 10 fixed-distance and 2 format-defined. Cross-border families appear only once under their permanent identity.
Edition facts retain official-source URLs and a last-checked date. Unknown distance, ascent, cutoff or price is shown as unknown instead of being inferred from another year.
As of 7 Nov 2026, this collection has 10 selected fixed-distance race families: 7 with a confirmed start today or later and 3 without a confirmed future start in the selected record. There are also 2 current format-defined families, kept separate from fixed-distance comparisons. These counts describe this directory, not the whole market or places available.
One recorded navigation mode per selected fixed-distance edition with a confirmed future start. Use the race record to check the organiser's requirements.
0 of 7 are recorded as multi-stage; 7 use other fixed-distance formats. Recorded ascent is available for 1, and an overall cutoff or explicit no-fixed-limit statement for 5.
Most frequent recorded terrain labels: road (6), mixed (5), forest (4). Labels can overlap on the same course.
The denominator is the same 7 confirmed future starts. Terrain labels do not establish elevation, difficulty or an exact surface percentage.
These are the earliest confirmed future starts with two different recorded navigation modes, ordered by date then permanent identity. They show a choice to investigate, not a recommended order or a first-race suitability verdict.

Official event informationCompare navigation separately from ascent, surface and the overall time limit. A marked course still has organiser instructions to follow; a longer cutoff does not supply the skills needed for a self-navigated route.

This collection follows the directory's Northern Ireland geography. It is not a list of every ultra across the island of Ireland. Where a route crosses a border, use its location and source notes to understand the course; the permanent race identity is retained once.
Compare fixed-distance races separately from timed, backyard or other format-defined events. Unknown totals stay unknown, and a race awaiting its next date is not a confirmed upcoming edition.
Use Compare races to look at the same facts side by side. The methodology explains how course assessments and cutoff pressure differ from a personal finish estimate.
