The annual Waterford Viking Marathon event was held on Sunday 25th June 2023 with a total of 2066 people taking part over the three events. That represents a 49% increase on the overall numbers for 2022 and follows a general increase in race numbers post pandemic.
Marathon... The marathon this year saw a 39% increase in numbers and moved ahead of the pre-pandemic numbers for 2019. It'll be a challenge for the marathon numbers to get back to the numbers seen in the 2013-2017 time period.
Half-Marathon... This saw a 30% jump in numbers. It still has some way to go to get back to 1000+.
Quarter-Marathon... This one saw the strongest growth with an 84% jump in numbers. It'll be interesting to see if the quarter becomes the largest event in the years ahead. It certainly seems to be heading that way.
Gender breakdown... In terms of the gender breakdown per event, the shorter events had a higher percentage of women taking part. The percentage of women in the three events was as follows... Marathon (20%), Half-Marathon (34%) and Quarter-Marathon (58%).
