Results & Photos of the Waterford Greenway Half-Marathon - Sat 31st Aug 2024

Lead group at 2kms

The big race in Munster this weekend was the Waterford Greenway Half-Marathon on Saturday 31st August organised by West Waterford AC.

The entries for this race opened on the 4th of July and all 750 places sold out in just 4 days.

On race day itself, the weather conditions couldn't have been nicer with blue skies, sunshine and a light easterly tailwind. Maybe a little warm for racing but it really showed off the scenic route.
