From West Waterford AC... This years event takes place on Saturday 29th Aug. at 9am in Kilmacthomas.
Entry fee includes bus travel to start point in Kilmacthomas, and a unique Greenway Tshirt! ( It does not include bus back to Kilmacthomas)
As all our supporters know we try to raise awareness for important causes and charities with our events and this year the chosen charity we are supporting is the West Waterford Athletic Club Track Fund.
We hope that you will be as generous as always in supporting this very worthy cause as we aspire to bring an 8 lane Running Track to Dungarvan for the next generation of young athletes and for the many hundreds of runners in West Waterford and beyond. In February of this year with the signing of a lease at St Augustines College Dungarvan we have commenced on a journey to bring this dream to a reality.

This fantastic amenity opened officially in 2017 and has already experienced visitors from all over the country and beyond. Users are amazed by this 47 km spectacular off-road cycling and walking trail along an old railway line between Waterford and Dungarvan.
As the map shows below, the half-marathon starts near Kilmacthomas and finishes in Dungarvan.
As it was an old railway line, the course is very slightly downhill overall. The old railway line at Kilmacthomas is about 60-metres above sea level while Dungarvan is just above sea level.
The course is certainly a LOT flatter than the average race on public roads.
