HOKA Challenger 8 Tour Of Ireland with Outsider.ie

Trail runners, mark your calendars, HOKA is hitting the road (and the trails) this July with a four-stop trail tour across Ireland. In partnership with Outsider.ie, each evening event promises an energising mix of movement, connection, and expert insight, all set against the backdrop of some scenic running spots.

Participants will be loaned a pair of HOKA Challenger 8s — one of the brand’s most versatile trail shoes — and set out to discover four checkpoints on a marked 5–8km route. At each point, runners collect a sticker in their special edition Outsider “Fly” Magazine. Complete the loop, return to base, and you’ll be welcomed back with prizes, snacks, drinks, and chats.

But the experience doesn’t end at the finish line. Each evening wraps up with a relaxed conversation featuring HOKA athletes and Irish International Mountain Runners, who’ll share their personal trail running journeys, tips for beginners, and reflections on running with purpose. Expect big energy, bigger stories, and practical advice for every level of trail runner.

Whether you’re looking to meet like-minded runners, test some new gear, or just enjoy the outdoors in good company — this free event is your invitation to join the Irish trail running community.
