Tipperary: Results of the Kilsheelan 10-mile road race - Tues 17th Mar 2026

The 2026 edition of the Kilsheelan 10-mile in Tipperary was held on St Patrick's Day and there were 197 finishers.

As the chart shows above, this was a record for this particular race although as 10-mile races go in Ireland, it's still pretty small. Kilsheelan was the 36th largest 10-mile in Ireland in 2025 and it's likely to move up a few places this year.

Results of the Nenagh Half-Marathon & 10k - Sun 22nd Feb 2026

Tom Keane and Denis O'Reilly with winner of the Nenagh Half Marathon, Ava Crean

Sunday the 22nd of February 2026 was a busy day for races in Munster with the Kinsale 10-mile, the Adare 10k and the Nenagh Half-Marathon & 10k.

The numbers in Nenagh were really quite exceptional this year. The Nenagh Half is a relatively new event and in 2025, it had 304 finishers in the half... a modest number of finishers which put it in 62nd place for the top half marathons in Ireland in 2025.

The 2026 event saw the numbers surge to 711 finishers, well over double the numbers for the previous year. This puts it on track to be the largest half-marathon in Tipperary by years end.

The 10k also saw a substantial surge with a 44% jump from 311 to 448 finishers.

I suspect one of the main reasons for the surge is the apparent rise in the number of runners in Limerick with more events appearing on the calendar.

It's all the more appropriate that the first woman in the half was 19-year old Ava Crean from Limerick with a time of 74m 16s. Ava is the current Irish national marathon champion after taking the title at the Dublin marathon last October.

Top 5 men & women in the half...

Notice: Run Kilkee Half-Marathon & 10k - Sat 25th July 2026

The popular Run Kilkee Half-Marathon & 10k is coming up this year on Saturday 25th July 2026.

Info and entries here... https://runkilkee.ie/

This is the largest half-marathon in Co Clare and as can be see from the chart below, both the 10k and half are increasing in popularity as more people return year after year and more people find out about the event.

Kilkee is located in the south-west of Co Clare at the foot of the Loop Head peninsula. Both the 10k and Half-Marathon courses are out and back courses and hug the coastline offering some spectacular views.

Even though the participants are running on the same section of road on the way back, they arere facing a different direction which offers different views.

It must be up there as one of the most scenic events on the running calendar. It just needs a bit of sunshine to make it a remarkable outing.

The advantage of an event like this is that with so many runners and traffic management in place, there is no need to worry about cars on the course.

An amazing spot for a race.

The Half-Marathon starts at 9am while the 10k starts at 12:30pm.
