The Anglo Celtic Plate 100k Home International plays an important role in developing athletes at distances beyond the Marathon and to prepare athletes for future opportunities at European and World Championships.

This year has seen the highest number of applications to date and is proof of the growing interest in Ultra Running.

The Anglo Celtic Plate will also incorporate the Athletics Ireland 100Km Championships as part of an Open Race.

Athletes in the Open Race will also be eligible for National Championship Medals once they are registered members of an Athletics Ireland affiliated club.
