The Good Friday Run is 5 miles.
Thanks. Now corrected. Looking at the various sources of info, it's not very clear what the distance actually is.
Just a word of caution. I ran the Ballybunion half marathon last year, it was not a half marathon it was short by about 150 to 200m. Also the price of entry is the same as last year which was meant to include food after but it didn’t. Be very careful about entering this event, it’s another money making racket. The organizers of the event even charged €5.00 for soup on the day.
