The "Slieve Martin Slaughter"
Spawned by the good people of Not The Sunday Run, 10 November 2007 saw the inaugural "Slieve Martin Slaughter" take flight.
Slaughter wouldn't describe it. 4 ascents of Slieve Martin; 46 km. 2,400 vertical metres of climbing. Nearly 7 hours. 21 starters, 7 finishers.

The 46-pound post-bike made it, but just, a hairline fracture in the frame after the first descent having become a gaping wound after all 4.
Well done all the chaps representing TrailBadger.com / Tango & Cash on the day. County Antrim can stand tall!

Just read the full version over at NTSR! Brilliant! If they do it every year I'd love to give it a go!
I would recommend it, but remember to have a full tank of gas! it's HARD work!

We may make it a race next year but have a look at the Kilbroney Challenge page on the NTSR website and gather a few friends for the 2008 event which is on saturday 21 June 2008.
