50k Ultra

Sorry if this has already been asked but using the search bar I couldn't find it and I didn't have much luck on Google either!

Just wondering does anybody know of any 50k Ultra races taking part in Ireland before June 2019?
Thanks for any advice:)

Maurice Mullins Ultra in April 2019 - 51k, 1940m ascent.

An excellent out and back route - https://www.imra.ie/events/view/id/1576?xyzallow

That looks stunning! However, it's a 50 miler, not a 50k.

Donadea is good. Nice and flat.
Maurice Mullins is good. Not flat.

Does Donadea get muddy?

There were a few puddles this year, and my runners got covered in mud but mostly the surface was good. No need for trail runners or spikes anyway.

I ran it in trail runners this year because someone told me right at the start that it was very muddy in parts, and it was the wrong choice. From now on it's road runners all the way.
