The annual Run Ballybunion Half-Marathon, 10k & 5k was held on Saturday 4th April 2026.
As the chart shows above, the numbers for the 5k and half were up and the 10k numbers were down.
The combined numbers for all three events were almost identical to 2025 . It seems very likely that the lack of growth was due to the fact that there were so many other events in Kerry that weekend like the Killarney 5-mile and the Valentia Half-Marathon & 10k.

Late move of the start time to 3 hours earlier at 10am due to weather alert probably took some numbers off the start line too
